I know of someone who says they listen to Joe Rogan podcasts (political I assume) but I don’t know what this means or what the connotations are. Both this person and I live in east asia.

    He has never struck me as idiotic. Quite the opposite actually, he seems like he is probably pretty intelligent. But he’s not a decent guy. Basically I think you got both of those backwards. He’s a smart guy who has decided to sell whatever is most profitable, and what is most profitable for him is right-wing fascist bullshit.

      I really dont think hes as intelligent as youre giving him credit for. This clip where he rudely dismisses an expert showed me that he doesnt value anything more highly than his own overinflated ego.
