Fuck Joe Rogan. I have no idea how that shitheel became as popular as he did. I subscribed to his podcast for a while just to see what the deal was, and you sort of figure him out after a few listens. He sells alt-right theories under the guise of being a centrist. If a man talks like a duck, and walks like a duck....then he's a fucking duck. He's anti-vax (because his body is a temple, yeah? But then when he got COVID motherfucker loads himself up with everyfucking medication under the sun - ), he pushes toxic masculinity, he constantly says racist shit, he's gone and purposely misgendered people, and he's constantly hosting alt-right speakers.
Essentially, he's a con artist, selling alt-right viewpoints under the guise of it being, "totally, like, centrist bro". Look, you can believe him....he smokes weed man.
I listened to his podcasts like, approximately 6 years ago. He had interesting guests and they were allowed to speak and he asked questions to go with the topic and keep the conversation flowing. Then as time went on his ego inflated and I stopped listening in time to avoid all of the stuff you listed above.
Alternatively, he may have been like that from the get go and I was too young to see it, but I feel like his popularity built up from when he was interesting and the devoted fans stuck around for his shitshow.
My favourite interview he had was with Paul Stamets. Other than that I'd never recommend Joe Rogan to anyone.
we have Stamets ~~at home~~ on Lemmy
