"Are we the baddies?" ponders Gen-X's Rush Limbaugh copycat after decades of being a mouthpiece for Russian agitprop.

Thanks for ushering this in rogan

Joe Rogan is the gestapo’s voice. Joe Rogan is a piece is shit plus he is not funny.

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

I don't think he ever was. I never understood why people liked him. He always seemed like a poser to me. He wanted to be a cool guy, he wanted to be funny, he wanted to be a UFC fighter... I guess that kind of describes everyone in the "manosphere".

[-] Earthman_Jim@lemmy.zip 14 points 3 months ago

At one point he was actually kinda open minded and could raise an interesting discussion from time to time. Those days are loooooooong fucking gone. It's all just ego maintenance and propaganda now.

[-] Asafum@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Admittedly I found him through his conversations with scientists I enjoyed listening to. Those days were good, they'd just have conversations about black holes and quantum physics. Then shit got absolutely out of hand and I never listened to him again.

So what you're saying he was always a moron, just was open minded and let his guests carry the conversation?

He's relatable. He's that guy that's cool to chill with on the couch and talk about random shit. But he'll chill with everyone from scammers to Nazis on that couch.

Once again, the sucking void that is Joe Rogan's brain finally catches up with what everyone else already knows.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Maybe he'll realize one day that covid wasn't a hoax, and that Alex Jones is an insane lunatic.

[-] SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 34 points 3 months ago

Say what you will about the guy, but I really hope he's sincere. He's an idiot, but an idiot with a huge audience. It would be better to have him on our side on this.

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

There's no way he'll turn on the audience that made him filthy rich. Also, it's not the first time he's had a "revelation" about this shit, and nothing changed.

I hope so, too. But, I'm not holding my breath.

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

This isn't just Rogan. There's a lot of people feeling like this.

An absolutely fascinating polling number we're seeing now is that - even among Republican voters - people generally see Trump as doing badly on immigration. This is a massive shift from how he was perceived before the election, where immigration was where he polled the strongest IIRC. Actually seeing his immigration policies in action has actually soured right wing voters on them.

And the reason is simple; in their minds, they truly, genuinely did not vote for this. They voted to kick out all the "Bad" immigrants, not the sweet old lady who bakes amazing churros and the nice man who runs the drug store.

It's the Shirley Exception. They just assumed that the people they like would be exempt. Because they do not understand that you cannot build a machine for cruelty and then ask it to be kind.

The bad news is, these people vote. The good news is, these people represent a deep and serious fracture in Trump's support, and there is a very real opportunity here for many of them to finally figure out how fucked up their thinking has been all this time.

[-] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Genuinely, what you're seeing right now is individuals in an entire group go through their own individual chapel perilous moments: confronted with the reality of what their beliefs have brought to the world some will be horrified and reject those beliefs, yet some will double down and be sucked further into them.

For those that reject the beliefs it will be highly traumatic and isolating for them and, as hard as it will be because it feels like a misjustice, those who have always seen the orange cunt for what he is should bring them into our community to support them during this process of genuine repentance as there's now an avenue for these people to be deprogrammed from the cult of personality, gently educated to make them more politically aware, and help them find an active supportive role in the community so they feel some positive empowerment and hope that will act as a stalwart against the fear that MAGA had been poisoning their minds with.

For those who double down and reject what their own eyes and ears tell them are going to become even more dangerous as these ideas, thoughts, and beliefs they'll now guard even more closely as a part of their identity which could swallow things like self-preservation, which coupled with the sheer amount of anger and fear is a violent cocktail that Trump, the Billionaires, and foreign powers seek to put into destructive actions.

and only conservatives are surprised.

[-] ineedmorecoffee@lemmy.cafe 23 points 3 months ago

Conservatives thing gestapo is a frozen treat.

[-] phaedrus@piefed.world 13 points 3 months ago

I'd love some "gestapo" covered in "strawberry jam", please

[-] ineedmorecoffee@lemmy.cafe 10 points 3 months ago

Sorry, here in Lemmy.world, we find it uncivil to talk about strawberries. That will be a 7 day ban.

[-] Akh@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

He created this. Let’s not forget that propagandist who supported the Nazis and helped bring them to power got more severe punishment during nuremberg than some gestapo.

How long until he endorses the republicans again for the midterms?

[-] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

The instant that one strokes his ego for being a contrarian and tells him that all the conspiracy theories that he believes are true.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago

yes Joe, you are — this is what you wanted and helped push for, why are you asking a stupid question like this?

"I endorsed the new Hitler, I just didn't think he would be as bad as the original Hitler. I didn't think he would also kill white people."

[-] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

It’s telling how bad the situation has become if even a blowhard like Rogan is becoming concerned.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Fuck him. He is part of it.

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 3 points 3 months ago

Imagine being so evil even your dumbest dick rider starts to question it.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

(Usually I would be agaimst this, but Joe Rogan helped Trump a lot)

"I'm trying to find the guy responsible !"

[-] Paddzr@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I believe in someone redeeming themselves...

But this is a grift post. At least it might do the tiniest bit of good. People who already listen to him are lost regardless so no amount of damage can come out of him but he has a lot of potential to start doing something positive for this world. Even if he sprinkles it here and there.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 months ago

Gosh, Joe. Is Trump bad? Does he want to do bad things? Was voting for him bad? Does that make you bad?

Don't worry about it, buddy. You were still right to tell everyone you supported him and would vote for him and that you wanted him to hold you in his big strong pudding-arms while you fell asleep. You were right to support him on air with your millions of idiot listeners. It's ok, pal. Just let everyone know that you don't approve of this latest bad stuff and then it's not your fault. There you go, guy.

Don't know if you missed it but you already are

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 2 points 3 months ago

I think it’s a legal thing. He has to show a glimmer of thought occasionally or else the state declares him dead.

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

It's entirely possible

[-] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I love that he always plays a ignorant buffoon to his own actions what a great form of grifting.
