Rogan’s conspiracy-minded audience blame mods of covering up for Rogan’s guests, including Trump, who are named in the Epstein files.

    You can tell what someone’s politics are by what they consider to be a political topic.

        Everything is political, that’s why you shouldn’t shy away from discussing it or ignore it. Or not pay attention to power structures or the inherent bias in the status quo

          so when i buttered my toast this morning that was a political act?

          what about when i took a big dump afterwards? is the consistency of my shit somehow a statement about my political beliefs?

            Technically yes, like the price of the bread and butter could control how much you are eating and it would be shit if a gov removes the poop pipe system for cost reasons

            So i think your political belive could be that at least you should be allowed to have a stress free breakfast and be able to poop in a secluded secure space

            But i think the more interesting question is: Would the french protest for it?
            (i guess currently not as they have those rights)

    Isn’t politics like 50% of what Rogan talks about? That’s gotta take some weird ass mental gymnastics to ban politics in a Rogan sub.

      2 years ago. The last time I visited that subreddit. It was actually full of people that were critiquing Joe’s right wing shift. The sub wasn’t even like focusing on new episodes it was just shitting on the shill Rogan has become.

      I imagine what’s happened is the sub has been takeovered and they’ll be mass bans and it’ll turn back into “pro-Rogan”.

      Ahh my uneducated friend, you have make a common mistake.joe Rogan never talks about anything. He is only asking questions. Sure the question was “why are minorities ruining America” but he never said they were, he was just asking questions.

    The scary thing about Rogan is he could possibly be trump 2.0 for the GOP.

    Also, fuck him, fuck that sub., and especially fuck reddit.

    Is it back to being pro rogan again? I swear it switches every few months. BTW if you hate rogan and want a laugh I strongly recommend elephant graveyard’s videos.

      My problem with Rogan is that he gave bad uninformed advice during the pandemic, all because he’s too insecure about how other people perceive him. His insecurities almost certainly caused many people to die.

      And I don’t think his show is even worth one person’s life, so he can’t really ever redeem himself.

        he can’t really ever redeem himself.

        Don’t worry, he’s right-wing. Zero introspection, so you don’t have to wonder if he’ll even try!

    What’s wild is /r/JoeRogan was mostly people shitting on him. They made another bot filled subreddit /r/powerfuljre that felated Joe and espoused his talking points and the people in /r/JoeRogan would always shit on that sub. I find it odd that the mods of /r/JoeRogan would do this. Probably got paid off by Thiel or Musk or whatever entity made that shill sub to turn /r/JoeRogan into another shill sub full of bots.

      r/joerogan was full of OG fans before he flipped to being a conservative tool. So people were rightfully calling him out for the longest time until people just started to move on. I say that as someone who listened in early days and had great fun with the stoner community just being curious about life.

          Yeah so many of people I followed since early 00s are turning into spiteful, senile idiots. Makes me worry about my own aging - do we all degrade into these mindless zombies eventually? Just put me down if I ever show symptoms like that.

        Exactly, and it was clear the powerfuljre subreddit was all bots and shills. I think no one is actually listening anymore. Spotify always tries to auto play it when I leave a podcast on and fall asleep I think those numbers are being padded because they paid him all that money. I think a good chunk of his OG audience hates the chud heel turn, and I legit don’t think he’s actually as popular now as he’s made out to be. He tried to boost some chud comedian’s special recently and it got like 20,000 views.

    When I first discovered that sub, I was a JR fan, and assumed everyone else there would be fans too but all I saw were trolls mocking him with every post & every comment 🤷🏼‍♀️ So I left.

    Free speech: conservatives get to use slurs or buy politicians.
    Politics : when minorities and women get treated fairly.

    As long as they ban all political speech from both sides who cares? There is plenty of that on reddit anyway. If they only ban the stuff that they don’t like then f 'em.
