You listened to Rogan and your takeaway was “kind human”?

For sure, yours wasn't? He has some weird takes on aliens, but I can see how conservatives see him as a good example for their children on topics like social media use, taking care of your body and mind through sports and socials gatherings, based a lot on traditional christian values. I think it is very easy to take what he says out of context and thus find it important to listen to his whole podcast from time to time. I'm not a christian, in fact I went through a rioting-atheism phase when I was young. But I'm older now, I see the good sides of religion, along with the bad sides, which makes me understand what they desire. He remarked (in an interview with Adam Curry) that he'd give Harris a fair chance, was interested in her as a person, would, in an interview, try to show the world her best human side. I believe that he would have. Before they blocked it over here I read Russia Today every now and then (sure I can set proton-vpn to exit in Albania and still read it but I don't really bother anymore). Yes it's propaganda, but the fear of NATO is palpable and reading RT breeds understanding for the people that get fed this news on a daily basis, even though it goes against my own worldviews. Trying to explain the world-view of this other side usually gets me flagged here, as if I somehow say that that side is better. I don't feel it that way. There are some online communities that welcome this open type of discussion. It is my opinion that is is important to engage in such open discussions

  Out of curiosity, what are they afraid NATO will do? When Turkey has been there at their border for 75 years? I hear this but I never see anyone describe the threat behind it.

    Well, why don’t you read RT for some time and find out? It’s very subtle. It will also help you spot patterns in our own press.

Yeah me too. I think most people that don't like Rogan is because they never actually listened to him, but only heard controversial things about him.
