Yeah! Just because a racist, fascist douchebag does a seig heil doesn’t mean you should tell obvious big mean old lies about him being a Nazi!

You tell those woke mind virus victims, Joe!

    Looked like an autistic seig heil to me. Bet the Nazis are happy. That’s probably the metric, if someone is doi g a salute that looks like it’s for a group. How does that group feel? They probably feel like he’s impure gypsy blood, and the autistic siege heil was indeed an autistic siege heil.

    These people play the “left is always over reacting” but they would carry water for Elon no matter how damming the evidence. They’ve shown they don’t care about evidence or reality its all vibes to them.

    Joe Rogan is a meathead.

    Close your eyes and imagine a meathead.

    That’s Joe Rogan.

    Only a fool would listen to what Joe Rogan has to say because only fools listen to meatheads.

    Unfortunately, we live in an age where meatheads are idolized by millions of people. Because our educational systems have failed. Because many, if not most, humans were simply not ready for the internet.

    I feel dumber just having read that. Apparently pointing out that someone made a Nazi salute is covering for the fact that … checks notes … you’re an asshole. The fact that this village idiot is popular is truly a damning indictment of America.

      Whether or not you or I care what he has to say doesn’t change that he has a huge audience of people who do care and if we just tune him out instead of rebutting his crazy shit he’ll go completely unchecked.

        There’s an argument to be made that just engaging his bullshit gives it weight. Something about arguing with a pig just gets you pulled into the mud and the pig likes it or somesuch. (I know, I butchered that saying).

        I honestly prefer the angle of “Oh, you listen to Joe Rogan. Then clearly your opinion is of no consequence and I want nothing with you”.

          And people wonder how the Democrats lost in 2024.

          “Oh this person did one thing that isn’t permanent and they could possibly have their viewpoints changed if they were around people like me who disagree with them? Nah I’m going to tell them that because they listen to a podcast of a guy I hate that I think everything about them is wrong and then I will never speak to them again.”

          The only way to stop the young men and women from getting sucked down there pipeline into the alt right dude bro bullshit is to fucking talk to them like they are humans that can make mistakes. When you write them off entirely instantly without even a second thought you are robbing everyone involved of the potential for personal growth and understanding.

      Anti intellectualism and submitting to fascist authority both align with machismo culture.

      Moat of them have been trained from a very young age by their religious leaders to beleive anything without proof and that malice is the most effective and moral way to obtain dopamine.

    When your podcast accepts Nazis on your show … your show is Nazi propaganda

      More accurately, when your podcast accepts nazi’s on your show… and you let them go off on rants and you don’t push back on them… your show is nazi propoganda.

      It’s perfectly reasonable for a show to have horrific people on… so long as they loudly are showing “No that is bullshit, here’s why that is bullshit!”.

        I know it’s fashionable to hate on Apple (justified or not), but Apple Music is very good. As a bonus, you can bundle it with Apple TV+, which have so many extremely good shows and movies.

        I’ve tried a few of them, all with family plans:

        • Amazon Music: good track selection, awful apps. Horrid integration with Sonos.

        • YouTube Music: I was using this for quite a while, my kids hated it because of the way the miniplayer worked. I found it frustrating because it would often play a YouTube rip of a song instead of the album track.

        • Tidal: great choice, but I couldn’t get it to use gapless playback when casting to my receiver.

        • Apple Music: we’re currently all using this one. Everyone is happy (Android, Chromecast, Sonos, iPhones, iPads, Car Play, and Android Auto). Finally.

        No, but they’re donating money to the inauguration and hosting Rogan, Shapiro, and others podcasters to, by Spotify’s own word, “tout the power of podcasts in the election”. It seems awfully cozy behavior.

      Key word is “watching”. They’re more than happy to have an audience as long as they get what they want. And they do and they are.

        Come on can we not use that type of word. Can’t we make fun of him for his terrible beliefs and not his IQ, I know plenty of lower intelligent people who are not Nazi sympathizers.

                  Can you show any evidence that people in any significant number find the word ‘stupid’ to be hurtful to a whole group of people?

                  Because in my 47 years, this is the first time I have ever heard anyone anywhere claim that ‘stupid’ is a generally offensive word that hurts people as a group.
