So who do you think is spreading said misinformation? Again, are you saying fucking Joe Rogan is trying to destroy social order? Think about this for one god damn second.
- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoI think that the Russian state is quite interested in spreading (and encouraging the spread of) misinformation. The US has certainly done way more than its fair share of covert operations in other nations, but the playbook has tended to be different. Do I think that Rogan is trying to destroy the social order? No, of course not. Do I think that Rogan doesn't see any downside to long extended chitchats, stoned or otherwise, about any random idea that is floating in the cultural ether? No, I don't think he does. Do I think that there are downsides to the "every POV is legitimate, lets just put it all out there" model of contemporary discourse? Yes, I do.
- prohobo 5y agoNo, sorry. That's your opinion, and it doesn't have anything particularly "better" about it than anyone else's. You'll have to engage in explaining why you think other people aren't allowed to have one, and until you get your way you'll have to deal with their opinions.
