What? Is he alt-right? I thought he's actually liberal leaning.
Many of his episodes is about drugs and his experiences with psychedelics, which would make most conservative folks suspicious. Can you post something that elaborates into those claims?
- thrower123 7y agoAlt-right is a term devoid of meaning, it has been abused so badly and so often. No one can agree on what it means, so it cannot be parsed as anything more than "those people I don't like, who entertain bad thoughts."
- perilunar 7y agoI don't think it's devoid of meaning, but its use is telling. It's usually used to refer to libertarians and classical liberals by those who don't understand them, i.e. it's often a sign of ignorance. Sometimes it's used deliberately as a smear to suggest people are fascists or neo-nazis.
- bitlax 7y agoI think the whole thing is asinine. Just wondering what the rules are this week.
- stebenCwowduhhh 7y agoIt's because of the Steven Crowder episodes (especially #1071) where they watch hidden camera videos of transgender activists portrayed in bad light. [1] In those videos there seem to be some opportunists operating what could be viewed as a "grooming pedophile" mentality towards gender identity politics. Between that, and playing nice with Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro and other right-of-center pundits/intellectuals/scholars or whatever, it's a bridge to far for counter-extremists. Joe Rogan also generally professes a dim view toward ANTIFA activism. To some, that makes Joe Rogan worse than a "do nothing centrist" because he offers a preferential platform, while operating a moderate semi-centrist facade, in the far-left's view.
