Good job Joe, now if only you didn't credulously believe every bad faith fascist narritive from the last 10 years.

Nah, that would be when Ted Cruz made similar comments the other day.
Only because they are worried the next government will turn on them.
Well, not just that. They derive a great deal of success from ranting against the 'liberal agenda'. If all the vaguely left leaning voices are obviously silenced, then their own engagement goes down because there's no opposition voice to rant against. As ridiculous they look on a normal day, they look just utterly beyond crazy in a scenario where everyone but them are essentially gagged.
With all the bizarre shit that has happened since Charlie Kirk's shooting, and it's a new level of Bizarro World out there, the most bizarre may be that Rafael Edward Cruz was a voice of reason.
Obligatory fuck the unfunny Joe Rogan who ushered this fascist back in.
You.. you made the crazy Joe.
also if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend this: How Comedy Was Destroyed by an Anti-Reality Doomsday Cult
I had a friend tell me years ago that he didn't think any comedian was actually funny. It helped open my eyes to the truth. They really aren't funny.
Good comedy is still out there, though. Watch any of the shows from PFFR, the art collective that made Xavier Renegade Angel to see for yourself.
Odds are if you're watching anything mainstream, it's probably watered-down shit for morons.
fuck this grift. this dude did more propoganda minutes for Maga than Charlie did, he doesn't give af about free speech beyond crying about how "censored" he is into the world's largest microphone
He said that if such interference were really happening and conservatives were supporting such behavior they were “crazy” because eventually they themselves would be the target of such censorship
What's really wild is that his biggest concern is that the people doing the fascist thing could become the target of it later. There's no dawning of 'oh maybe the people doing this aren't so good' no, he's worried that the other people who have been warning that they are fascists might pursue them later with the fascist precedent they are putting in place.
You think so, Joe? You think the fascists might be crazy?
"Oh no! The fascists I supported are being fascists!"
Really kept his head down for a few days first huh?
Joe Rogan is a drug-addled moron. Do not listen or engage with anything he says, even if you feel like you agree.
You got it all wrong. He's not drug addicted. He's brain damaged from his mma days. Apparently brain damage leads to conservative thoughts. Look at Fetterman.
There's a talk show video out there where the host is conservative (it's well known I just can't remember the name). Some guy is on the phone talking about how he's seen the light of the GOP and the host asks what changed, and he says he got kicked in the head by a horse.
The host looks a little shocked and says something like, okay moving on.
Careful Joe. That's sounding dangerously unconservative, and you know what the crazy conservative gun people do to those conservative voices that aren't conservative enough for them.
Didn't he defend comedians who were getting cancelled for jokes by the left too, like Chappel? What's the surprise here? Ideological consistency does seem rare these days and "doing one thing while bitching when that same thing is done to you" is quite en vogue, and nobody acknowledges that the systems we put in place to control our opposition will be turned on us the instant they have a chance, but this (defending kimmel for jokes regardless of the politics) seems in line with what Rogan has always said afaik.
He helped enable the rise of the Alt Right by giving them serious air time.
Also, Dave Chappelle never got "cancelled". He's still getting Netflix specials and still booking shows. For some reason, people will pay him to call them poor.
Having people write critical articles about someone isn't the same as getting "cancelled".
Fucking dopes all of them. Joe Rogan and all his cocksucking fans. Fucking dipshits the lot of them.
Joe should be much more afraid of the next Groyper aiming for him. Conveniently located in Texas.
So uh, the groyper narrative is now about as solid as the trans narrative. Everything's pointing to the guy growing up in a conservative household and disagreeing with his family and all the hate.
Too little too late, Joe.
Womp womp
I wonder if Rogan realizes that he's part of the reason we've ended up here?
About as much as a child who shit their pants and then points at another kid saying they smell like shit.
Well, no he didn't. Not really. I haven't heard it (and don't intend to) but according to the quotes in this article he didn't do that at all.
“The problem is the companies, if they are being pressured by the government – so if that’s real – and if people on the right are like ‘yeah, go get ’em,’ oh my God, you’re crazy. You’re crazy for supporting this because this will be used on you,” he said.
If, if, if. Wouldn't want to risk upsetting anyone would you?
An important reminder is that Kimmel's monologue did not say anything slightly negative about Charlie Kirk's demonic zionazi and replacement theorgy genocidal supremacism. He only made fun of Trump for interviews in which he was asked about any sympathy he had for his dead dear friend, getting deflect-weaved into "we're building the bestest ballroom in the white house now".
Joe has always been good at knowing which side of the fence to temporarily come off of.
He's always one DMT hit from emptying his brains out on the floor and fishing for a different opinion.
Joe is just what happens when an anti-establishment nut becomes the establishment.
The most useful of idiots.
Joe Rogan you dumb fuck.....you helped get the orange turd elected!
Joe faces the same issue that Tucker does.
Both have substantial influence, and in Tucker's case substantial wealth.
Given this, I'll borrow a term from the Right to spell it out: We need more than virtue signaling.
Substantial harm requires something more than some face-turn tease.
As a thought experiment, put aside the well deserved hate you might have for Joe, and think about what harm he could inflict on the cult, if he got it in his head to do so.
Rogan is spineless. Tells the people supporting Trump and his policies that they are crazy but doesn’t have the balls to actually say anything negative about Trump.
I miss when this guy just hosted a funny show that made people eat bugs for money.
Don't give this guy any visibility, downvote the thread and upvote other ones.
