Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.

Its a “fact” that anyone who listen to Rogan is a peasant-minded moron

pesant-minded

My comrad in class, unless you are a multi-millionare we are all peasants together. Many of us have excellent minds, as you likely do yourself. Do not tie our mental capability to our economic caste.

"my comrade in class" needs to be the 21st century replacement for "my brother in Christ" and you just made me make my first Lemmy comment!

I'm using this!

Congratulations, you are now Vladimir Lemmyn

I don't like "talky" podcasts so I never listened but there was a time when hearing about an interesting guest he had made me inclined to look them up.

Now when I hear someone was on his show I default to assuming they're a crackpot. And I've only been wrong about that like twice.

Infowars had some reputable people in its earlier days too. Rogan seems to be following the same unhinged path.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

There are only so many kinda-fringe-but-interesting guests in the world. If that's your whole schtick, at some point the pool runs dry and you start bringing out grifters.

[-] Robbeee@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yep, and once you platform enough nutcases no one else wants to be associated with or listen to you.

[-] AnnoyingPedant@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 year ago

Agreed. It's depressing when I am looking into someone I respect and see a clip of them on his show. Minus ten thousand points.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's a pretty good baramoter.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
