There’s a healthy middle ground that everyone seems to be allergic to. Not wanting to meet someone because they don’t hate someone is not healthy. The top thread here has someone making a joke about they wish he’d die. Most of these people haven’t even watched his podcast, they just get told to hate him by the media. Article here is a good example of that.
Downvoting people that notice the toxicity and say something as simple as “wow you guys really hate someone” is a good example too.
Another day, another Rogen stan who tries to convince hoards of people who don’t like the guy for the words that come out of his mouth that “um actually you’ve never listened to the words that come out of his mouth and SoMeThInG SoMeThInG tHe MeDiAaAaAa”
I don’t care if people like him or not, can you say the same?
What does bother me is how it seems like people love to be absolute trash while looking down on people they think are trash. Wishing people would die because they don’t agree with you politically is insane and far far worse than having a opinion about something.
Why are you changing the subject? I agree, his words are insanity as well. Our whole political system is fucked. Everyone is divided and regards the other side as less than human and it’s abhorrent.
It’s not one random comment section, it’s fucking everywhere brother.
I’m not changing the subject, you’re going to bat for a far right commentator. Cry centrism all you want but we all know where he really falls.
We know where you fall too, with your “BoTh SiDeS” nonsense. Only one side is running a candidate who is parroting the language of Hitler and calling for the elimination of their “vermin” enemies.
One side regards the other as “less than human,” then claims it’s exactly the same when the other side calls that behavior what it is and expresses that they won’t go down without a fight.
I am a centrist, but I never said anything about that, so I’m not sure how or why you’re jumping to that. Do you really have to be a centrist to think we should still be decent people? Even if the other side IS bad, taking the high road so you don’t mistakenly stoop to their level is the way to go. You say my views are “nonsense” and use a Spongebob meme to mock them, because they aren’t yours. That’s exactly the kind of thinking that makes me dislike your side. You claim fascism on the other side, while simultaneously being authoritarian and xenophobic in your own way.
Jfc, all this fucking pearl clutching about some rich fuck who spends a good portion of his time spreading harmful misinformation and/or platforming grifters who spread harmful misinformation.
You know what’s more awful than a joke about someone dying? The near certainty that people have died from covid because they listened to misinformation on Rogan’s show.
Anyone that takes medical advice from a podcast and ignores the CDC and WHO probably weren’t long for this world anyways. He’s an entertainer. That’s it.
ok its good that you are not trying to make one 'think right, but i find him more tolearable than many. he listens to others better than most, has a sense of humor, etc. i dont see why that plus interviewing rightists making him liable.
wow lemmy truly hates joe rogan
I’d prefer not to meet someone that didn’t

Wait til you hear about Republicans and their frontrunner candidate. Oh right it’s only bad when it’s one random in an internet comment section. 😂

I literally never listen to him and I still feel the reaction is over the top. I really don’t think the man is a fascist, crypto or otherwise.

not to say hes correct on this but i think there are a lot who are worse than joe rogan that you are able to meet
Not being the worst isn’t exactly a compliment.
but every key you type here fails to address all those worse than him. and one day, they might convince him to join.

The post is about Joe Rogan specifically. Are you seriously trying to say “you can’t criticise someone unless they are the worst person in the world?”
People can do both: point out Joe Rogan’s hypocrisy AND dislike people who are worse than him.
It is possible to dislike both Joe Rogan and people who are worse than Joe Rogan.
