Yeah! Just because a racist, fascist douchebag does a seig heil doesn’t mean you should tell obvious big mean old lies about him being a Nazi!

You tell those woke mind virus victims, Joe!

        Spot on. There are so many good quotes from him and Goering. I’m not a Nazi weirdo or anything, but they’re just so… Relevant.

        Goebbels:

        A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.

        Makes you think some leaders studied this a bit…

        Yeah I debated going with Göring, but I decided to pick the 'mouth of Sauron ’ angle. As Göring is also way more intelligent than Rogan… And a legit war vet.

      An entire town decided that they’d have a child act as the monitor for a known threat; he makes two mistakes and then they stop believing him as he does the job the town put him there to do. At no point does anyone decide, “hey, maybe we should put two kids up there… just in case.”

        It would have been to progressive to not use child labor. They likely didn’t respect his job because they considered it unskilled. All he did was stand at the door at Costco and check for membership cards.

    Joe Rogan is a meathead.

    Close your eyes and imagine a meathead.

    That’s Joe Rogan.

    Only a fool would listen to what Joe Rogan has to say because only fools listen to meatheads.

    Unfortunately, we live in an age where meatheads are idolized by millions of people. Because our educational systems have failed. Because many, if not most, humans were simply not ready for the internet.

    Looked like an autistic seig heil to me. Bet the Nazis are happy. That’s probably the metric, if someone is doi g a salute that looks like it’s for a group. How does that group feel? They probably feel like he’s impure gypsy blood, and the autistic siege heil was indeed an autistic siege heil.

      He’s popular because of long-format, uncensored interviews with interesting people in en era of heavy media manipulation and short form propaganda. It’s not that hard to understand why he has a large audience. The amount of push back from people complaining about him “platforming” people they disagree with further adds to the appeal. People want free expression and exchange of ideas, not censorial hall monitors with holier-than-thou attitudes who think they know better than you.

        The problem is meathead Joe Rogan lets his guests tell cool stories about their experiences to gain an audience, then proceeds to express the stupidest fucking thoughts imaginable to all those people from the gaping anus that serves as his mouth.

          He’s the first person to say not to listen to him. I don’t have an issue with people expressing their opinions even if they’re as mean as this; usually folks are nicer about it when it’s in person and not online.

        long-format, uncensored interviews with interesting people in en era of heavy media manipulation and short form propaganda.

        There seem to be lots of options for that these days. He’s not so unique anymore.

        But he built up such a large audience.

        I use to casually watch select episodes where the guest was someone cool or interesting. And the fringe topics could be fun.

        But now… bleh. It’s all too self aware and shot with bullshit now.

      Whether or not you or I care what he has to say doesn’t change that he has a huge audience of people who do care and if we just tune him out instead of rebutting his crazy shit he’ll go completely unchecked.

        There’s an argument to be made that just engaging his bullshit gives it weight. Something about arguing with a pig just gets you pulled into the mud and the pig likes it or somesuch. (I know, I butchered that saying).

        I honestly prefer the angle of “Oh, you listen to Joe Rogan. Then clearly your opinion is of no consequence and I want nothing with you”.

          And people wonder how the Democrats lost in 2024.

          “Oh this person did one thing that isn’t permanent and they could possibly have their viewpoints changed if they were around people like me who disagree with them? Nah I’m going to tell them that because they listen to a podcast of a guy I hate that I think everything about them is wrong and then I will never speak to them again.”

          The only way to stop the young men and women from getting sucked down there pipeline into the alt right dude bro bullshit is to fucking talk to them like they are humans that can make mistakes. When you write them off entirely instantly without even a second thought you are robbing everyone involved of the potential for personal growth and understanding.

      Anti intellectualism and submitting to fascist authority both align with machismo culture.

      Moat of them have been trained from a very young age by their religious leaders to beleive anything without proof and that malice is the most effective and moral way to obtain dopamine.

      More accurately, when your podcast accepts nazi’s on your show… and you let them go off on rants and you don’t push back on them… your show is nazi propoganda.

      It’s perfectly reasonable for a show to have horrific people on… so long as they loudly are showing “No that is bullshit, here’s why that is bullshit!”.

        Thanks for all the suggestions. I’ll have a look at them. Unfortunately none of them seem all that good. Spotify ist the only one that has a Linux app. Tide has a third party app, which is just the website inside electron. Even the Spotify app is just electron. I find it extremely shitty that these companies don’t even bother publishing electron apps. The ratings on the play store are also mostly bad. But I have to investigate that.

        I’ve tried a few of them, all with family plans:

        • Amazon Music: good track selection, awful apps. Horrid integration with Sonos.

        • YouTube Music: I was using this for quite a while, my kids hated it because of the way the miniplayer worked. I found it frustrating because it would often play a YouTube rip of a song instead of the album track.

        • Tidal: great choice, but I couldn’t get it to use gapless playback when casting to my receiver.

        • Apple Music: we’re currently all using this one. Everyone is happy (Android, Chromecast, Sonos, iPhones, iPads, Car Play, and Android Auto). Finally.

        No, but they’re donating money to the inauguration and hosting Rogan, Shapiro, and others podcasters to, by Spotify’s own word, “tout the power of podcasts in the election”. It seems awfully cozy behavior.
