How is this not more left wing technologists trying to use their technology roles to de-platform right wing perspectives they don’t agree with? Literally threatening to quit if they can’t impose editorial content policing on the other side. And you wonder why politicians are about to yank the Section 230 rug out from under these technology companies? Don’t cry when your federally granted indemnity disappears my friends.

Joe Rogan isn't even right wing - he's clearly a progressive (literally a Bernie Bro) - it's just that he's usually willing to talk to conservatives on his show.

  Yeah, I’m not right wing either, I just actually believe in free speech for everyone. Even people I don’t agree with. This new movement to censor and silence opposing perspectives is disgusting and should frighten people. Win with the merits of your ideas and perspectives, not by silencing the people who oppose you by claiming moral superiority.

    I've been saying this is coming for years now, and honestly, it seems like people are really starting to speak up. I'm happy to see more comments like yours.

      Thanks, but here comes the anti-free speech downvote brigade. :/

  He is not just right but alt-right. He might have been progressive at one point, but he is 100% on the Trump train the last few years. He is full-on conspiracy nut. Just because he smokes weed doesn't make him progressive.

    He endorsed Bernie Sanders this year. https://people.com/politics/joe-rogan-bernie-sanders-endorsement-controversy/ https://people.com/politics/joe-rogan-bernie-sanders-endorse... I’m not saying he’s progressive, but he’s not alt-right either.

      He is spreading unscientific covid conspiracies. That alone make hims alt-right in my book. His endorsement for Bernie was in the primary only. He has come out for Trump over Biden in the general.

      He also endorsed Trump.

Rohan isn’t exactly right-wing—-he endorsed Bernie Sanders.
- jgowdy 6y ago
  Right, but they’re angry because Rogan occasionally brings right wing people on his show and lets them speak. Can you imagine? Allowing opposing perspectives to speak...

    That type of thing might disrupt the narrative. Can't have that! Those free thinkers are dangerous.
