Why mention Joe Rogan viewers...?

• tw04 5y ago
  Because Joe Rogan has a habit of hosting individuals who are blatant frauds and plays it off as "representing both sides". When you have Alex Jones on and let him spew outright lies for an hour without questioning any of it, you've lost all credibility.

      Maybe, just maybe, we should stop going out of our way to provide platforms to influential fraudsters and lunatics?

        Yes, let's silence everyone who doesn't share our view and shame everyone who follows him, I'm sure that's a great strategy. For creating extremists, that is. Keep an open dialogue and dismantle them. If you can't do that, maybe they have something worth listening to.

          Do you understand that there’s an immense difference beteeen silencing those you disagree with and not personally inviting them to spread their bullshit to an audience of tens or hundreds of millions of your own followers? > Keep an open dialogue and dismantle them. If you can't do that, maybe they have something worth listening to. Climate change denialism, antivaxers, and flat earthers have all thrived in an environment of open dialogue. Do you believe they have ideas worth listening to? The gish gallop is a depreddingly effective tool, and not one generally leveraged by people on the right side of a debate.

    I totally disagree, Alex Jones is a satirist. His biggest contribution is being sometimes correct with his outlandish claims. And casting doubt of the corporate media narrative, which is often just as false, but presented as some sort of gospel, that must be accepted with ernest, and repeated with one voice.

  I think because Joe Rogan-ites tend to be "apolitical" in a very specific way (at least in my personal experience). They are fundamentally different from the hippies, but still believe in sampling many opinions

  Because he has a tendency to be misinformed and spread that misinformation.
