Worth remembering that Donald Trump embraced Alex Jones after his sustained campaign of vicious, hateful and provably-false lies about dead child.
So did Joe Rogan.
- xanderlewis 2y agoI actually kind of liked Joe Rogan (from the little I saw of him interviewing scientists and other ‘intellectuals’), but the more I think about it and learn the more I realise he’s just a moron.
- standardUser 2y agoHe's a very likeable personality. But he offers the same platform and uses the same kids gloves on all of his guests, regardless of if they are world class professionals at the top of their field or the most deranged sicko fucks peddling insane conspiracy theories.
- xanderlewis 2y agoYeah — exactly. I’ve never seen anything that makes me doubt he’s a good person. But he seems utterly unable to distinguish between bullshit artists and genuine experts.
- spacechild1 2y agoHis schtick is "I'm just a dumb boy, what do I know?", which IMO is just irresponsible when you have such huge reach and influence. Joe Rogan is either utterly naive or he is a cynic.
- bamboozled 2y agoHe also has a lot of very strong opinions on some important topics and then when convenient he will pull that line out.
