I'm not disputing you on U.S. politics being conservative on the global scale, just that it's not fair or accurate to call Rogan a "conservative" when he's voting for the most "socialist" candidate on the ballot in his country and endorsing policies like a universal basic income, something considered "leftist" in basically every single country including the Scandinavian countries who have still yet to implement it. Sure overall perhaps he's still a "conservative" on the global scale, but by that definition the entirety of U.S. politics is conservative (including CNN, MSNBC, etc), and that speaks more to the state of politics in the country itself than Joe Rogan.

I said he profits from the same sources as conservatives. I've said elsewhere in this thread, I think he's a "centrist" which is "conservative" anywhere else. UBI has an interesting status in Libertarian circles, but I'm not going to go any further off topic here.
