> I am surprised news outlets are still trying to give life to this manufactured crisis. The purpose of this particular manufactured crisis is to take out Joe Rogan, who does not kowtow to the COVID-19 zeitgeist. > who abuse their voice and power to silence those who don’t share their ideology. Reminds me of the quote, 'First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win' [0]. This is the 'fight you' phase of Humanity's rebellion against the charlatans (you used zealot [1], but I think charlatan [2] is more appropriate). Two tweets about the attempted cancellation of Joe Rogan: "This is a professional political attack. Three waves one right after the other is not a coincidence. Good spacing, good timing, so it's absolutely professional." - https://twitter.com/wokal_distance/status/1490220423270699009 https://twitter.com/wokal_distance/status/149022042327069900... (thread ties the Rogan hatcheting to a Super PAC) "This is not organic. It's a political hatchet job" - https://twitter.com/esaagar/status/1490773485056057344 https://twitter.com/esaagar/status/1490773485056057344 (this one credits @wokal_distance) [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Klein#Address_to_the_Clothing_Workers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Klein#Address_to_the_...
