Is this whole thing just trying to paint joe rogan as alt right again?

- maw 6y agoProbably. But here's an interesting sequence of events: - The alt-right emerges as an influential bloc - Our self-appointed explainers and meaning-makers try and fail to understand it; unable to understand it they're completely unable to explain it - The term "alt-right" is bandied about more or less carelessly, often as an insult or as a way to discount ideological opponents, until: - The term "alt-right" loses much of its meaning and is applied to people with only the most tenuous links to the original group. The same basic thing has happened before and since: think of the neocons and the dirtbag left for example. So, yes, they probably are trying to paint him as alt-right, but not at a level much above "lololol Bro Rogan sux !!!!!!!!". Reassured?
