> I'm not sure this website is accurate as Rogan so far has not said anything on Twitter or Instagram about this. I checked for a couple of the episodes on Spotify (#1103 Tom Segura, #1218 Gad Saad) and could not find them, so it may be legit.

  First, there is no Free speech violation here. A private content company is free to change their content. They can create things and they can delete things. Happens all the time. Second, to compare de-publishing a few episodes of this sensationalist blow hard from a streaming service to the horrific tragedy that was Kristallnacht, is wildly inappropriate.

    You mean there is no First Amendment violation. Free speech is a general principle that is upheld (or not) by a society as a whole, including businesses and the people who pressure them to censor.

    > First Hiding behind a seemingly literal interpretation (I'm not qualified to judge as I'm no expert in the Constitution). But it's awful to not consider the context, or the consequences of that action. > Second Wildly inappropriate to try to use your own personal reactions to impose your will upon another to restrict their freedom. I don't think you really have a problem using Nazi history analogically as criticism. I think you just don't like that it's criticism directed at something you don't want to see exposed as evil. Because maybe you like the power that you imagine it brings to silence people who say annoying things, rather than to deal with your own emotions. Perhaps you prefer controlling others to controlling yourself? Whatever the motivation, supporting the imposition of one's will on others and restricting their freedoms is terrible. To then abuse the sacred protection afforded by invoking a defense of victims of Nazis, as cover for this behavior, is an abomination.

  You made some good points before, even if i generally disagree with you, but this comparison is wildly inappropriate. You get that people were targeted based on their ethnicity/religion, their property and churches were trashed, many were beaten and killed, and tens of thousands were sent to concentration camps, right? Comparing it to this bullshit is an insult to all the victims of Nazi atrocities and you are a terrible human being.

    Hey, if we can call 70 million Trump supporters Nazis, then anything is fair game. That word has basically lost all meaning at this point.

      Oh no. You can call people that, in large groups, exhibit traits similar to Nazis ( blaming all that is not well on some foreign element living among us for instance, nationalism, fair amounts of racism) because they resemble Nazis. That doesn't mean anything and everything also doesm

        So you're good with saying all black people are good at basketball? All Asians are good at math? Were you going to finish your thought?

        I'm good with saying that all black people who play basketball or look like they're about to ( like having basket balls and being at a basketball court) are playing or about to play basketball.

    Well not everyone's going to agree with everything I say. And that's the point. You should know that... I thought the French were really into their Liberté, égalité, fraternité. Perhaps in modern French that's an old fashioned notion. But I would have thought that in the wake of Charlie Hebdo people in France's awareness of the preciousness of free speech would have been reawakened. Disappointing if that's not the case.
