are we ready to admit that Joe Rogan is basically just a right wing podcaster now or are we going to continue this stupid dance of "no he's just a centrist telling it like it is"

A 'centrist telling it like it is' always ends up being a right wing asshole lying about their intentions.

Agreed. And it's not a new thing, either.
Scratch a centrist and a fascist bleeds.

Yeah, like I needed any more evidence to prove that Joe Rogan is a complete and utter fucking moron.
Ugh. Joe Rogan is what dumb people think a smart person sounds like.
I really think that title goes to Jordan Peterson
No. I refuse to believe anyone thinks he's smart. Funny, sure. "Open-minded," to let the brain fungus in more readily, sure.
He uses the big words...
Of anything positive you could say about Carlson 'no nonsense' isn't even remotely true.
Remember Joe, he made fun of someone else who was 5'7, saying they were too short to be dateable
Even in court they argued that Carlson was nonsense! "No reasonable person" would take him seriously... I mean for fucks sake Rogan lol
His whole "I'm just sealioning, I'm not really a right winger! I like mushrooms and pot hurhur" bit always irritated me because I knew it was bullshit.
Oh fuck you just made me realize which one Carlson is. I was thinking of the prager u guy? Or the guy whose face is all mushed into the center of his head?
Anyway, here's John Stewart on Crossfire shutting Carlson tf down.

I see it as someone who is insecure and letting the culture war control them. It seems like when presented with an idea in isolation, Rogan is capable of accepting it, but if he finds out that the 'woke left' supports it, he flips. Kinda crazy to see happen, actually.
Fuck the culture wars nonsense
Remember when Tucker Carlson asked Hunter Biden for a recommendation letter? https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/05/tucker-carlson-asked-hunter-biden-for-recommendation-letter.html
These guys are all buddy buddy

I remember when Joe was a harmless idiot that had some fun.
Rather than a right wing crackpot.
I always thought it was weird when he said you needed to listen to all types of media like Fox as well as MSNBC. I was like, you can listen to neither of those things .... Let's not forget Fox got sued for libel/slander in the Dominion case as well. So it's not another opinion or side that Fox is on, it's outright propaganda.
I was into his clips on YouTube for a short while before corona and the Spotify deal. Even back then the algorithm decided to pipeline culture war bullshit into your feed in an attempt to radicalize you to alt right bullshit.
When I was on Reddit I kept looking at his subreddit to amuse myself with the ignorant stupidity and the insecure overcompensating of the commenters.
I think there's value in being exposed to other media sources outside your circle but it's extremely tough to take Fox with anything less than a bucket of salt.
I occasionally see articles from them and they're poorly written, clearly leaving important parts out, and have random clearly biased editorial asides. Like "Joe Biden, who experts have heavily criticized" but never saying which experts or what criticism
I fucking hate that people are like FOX news or MSNBC, as though they are two sides of a coin.
MSNBC might be left leaning, but FOX is straight up crazy lies and bullshit.
It's like saying you could eat brussel sprouts or diarrhea. You know either or.....
If you listen to the Knowledge Fight podcast, you’ll hear Alex Jones literally bragging about radicalizing Joe Rogan. Alex Jones claims to be constantly in contact with him. So this is just the knuckle-dragger going further deep.
Remember when lex Friedman and Sam Harris were on his podcast?
It's time to pray
All Tucker does is peddle non-sense, Joe, you fucking moron.
It's the same picture
Kettle, meet Black
Tucker Fucking Carlson? If he runs I hope John Stewart runs against him.
Respectfully, no. We don't need more media personalities running for office. It's too much of a popularity contest as it is. Jon Stewart is intelligent and cares deeply about his chosen issues, but that doesn't mean he'd make a good (or willing) president. Tucker Carlson is just a boob.
I want a boring-ass presidential candidate with good solid policies and a willingness to take the long view (as in what's best in the long term for the country, not necessarily what will get them re-elected). I don't care if they're cool or charismatic.

Tucker Carlson might not be the brightest man on the planet, but I think even he's smart enough to know running for president would ruin his grift.
Jesus fuck I have had shits that are smarter than this wanker
I would never want to live in a world where Tucker Carlson is president. Ugh...
I mean, he COULD win. Right wing people like him and if you win the Republican nomination you're roughly 50/50 to be the president. Plus he can't do his old job until January 2025 and working anywhere but Fox just condemns him to the post-Fox life of Bill O'Reilly or Glenn Beck, hardly cultural forces anymore.
But I suspect there's a reason we haven't had opinion TV show hosts as president before, I'm just 100% sure he has said disqualifying things over his time in the spotlight.
If I was him I'd do the Mitt Romney, find a deep red state with a Senator opening and live there. Probably takes a couple years of schmoozing with the party leaders if you're not already a local hero like Romney was, but it's doable.
Joe "why does it lie?" Rogan. What a fucking idiot
I wonder how much it costs to get Joe Rogan to say both “No-nonsense” and “Tucker Carlson” in the same sentence.
I'm going to need the precise definition of 'No-Nonsense', as it is being used in this context.
Tucker Carlson is exclusively nonsense
And that is literally his legal argument as well. "Your honor, I'm a fucking clown! Exclusively nonsense! No reasonable person could possibly believe I'm an honest source of information! Defamation suit won!?" (No.)
Could Tucker beat Trump in the primary if he ran?
"your last name is Garelli?"
