thank you, engage in discussion before threatening to take your ball and go home. I think it's a little dramatic to call it bullying, but from the other side it looks pretty pathetic.
Joe Rogan has changed his stance on a lot of topics over the years. And his listeners aren't all idiots. Some people, despite what we occasionally see here, and what some believe by default, are still open to hear whatever good points might be made. Everyone has an agenda, but it's not always diametrically opposed to what's decent.
In the past when I listened to his show, he's said some stupid shit, but he's also admitted being wrong, and agreed to hold conversations with people he disliked or disagreed with, and was able to take something positive from it.
But sure, people can think he's harmful to society, but I think that kind of grandstanding/absolutism is pretty harmful in itself.
And as a final note I guess I just want to know why people are still here if they think discussion won't change the mind of Rogan, or his listenership, or other people in general. Is it that you think his listeners are uniquely stupid or malevolent? Is the idea that at a certain point, shouting opinions you like and hiding/distracting from opinions you don't is the only way?
