Fuck Joe Rogan
attack the idea, not the person, otherwise you end up with personality cults and social division
Fuck Joe Rogan and his bad ideas
Fuck Joe Rogan’s bad ideas and the holes they came out of.
Like rogansphere isn’t already a cult full of cultists.
attack the idea, not the person
What if the person is devoid of ideas and merely a vessel for propaganda?
propaganda are ideas too
Sure. Other people’s.
you can still attack the propaganda though :)
I want to be socially divided from anyone that listens to that turd.
eu. No.
You’re gonna have to do some heavy fucking lifting to help break what you helped create.
You’re not the enemy of my enemy just yet.
“There’ll be people that they’ll DM me like, ‘You see what your boy’s doing? You voted for this.’ I’m like, ‘I voted for none of this,’” he said. “He’s doing the exact opposite of everything I voted for. I want him to stop the wars—he’s funding them. I want him to shrink spending, reduce the budget—he’s increasing it.”
If only there was a way they could have seen this coming…
Some kind of warning sign that trump was a fucking liar…
It’s almost like we had 4 years with him already
“Trump doesn’t keep his promises” rings hollow of an excuse for regret when we have 4 demonstrable years of his garbage.
And that’s only if you ignore the 40 years before that of Trump being widely known as a scammer, swindler and liar.
The first 4 were very different from how the second 4 are shaping up. This one is so much worse
All the Biden Break did was normalize shit and hand a megaphone to anyone who thoughts Dems wouldn’t help us.
“Blue no matter who” just depresses future turnout, Dem voters need to be excited about who theyre voting for, not scared of who they’re voting against.
It’s basic bitch psychology. Neoliberals think like conservatives, and lack the empathy to understand the Dem voting base (or anyone for that matter) thinks differently.
this fucking guy. Still coping with being complicit in genocide.
That’s because the Democrats are a conservative party. The US doesn’t have a true Left party because the Dems and the GOP rigged the system so only they can compete. Serious electoral reforms are needed. At a minimum, first past the post has got to be replaced by ranked choice, and the electoral college needs to be tossed.
Also the Senate needs to be tossed. No taxation without equal representation.
That involves common sense and not being a sucker which these dipshits lack
Some kind of document that literally laid out how this project would work in 2025, perhaps. Oh if only.
If only there was a way they could have seen this coming…

What i’ve come to see recently is that basically, there’s two ways of knowing what will happen in the future: predicting it based on models of how things work, or trying it out experimentally.
Now, to some people, making theoretical predictions is easier, while for others, doing the experiment is nicer. Ultimately, both lead (or, should lead) to the same result, but the experiment is more expensive and typically involves more suffering.
But also the more often we do the experiment, the better our theoretical understanding of things gets, and the more likely it is that we don’t have to try things out experimentally in the future. So, it’s not for nothing. Consider it a learning experience for the broader population.
It’s normal human variation…
Imagine a fucking bear shows up, everyone runs to the cave and hides.
An hour later no one hears the bear.
One human thinks it’s fine and leaves the cave. He gets fucking ate. And of course it’s a “he” men are evolutionary wired to be more risky, we’re more disposable.
Next week bear comes again, but everyone remember last week. So they wait 2 hours, first guy doesn’t get eaten so everyone comes out.
Modern humans are protected, we don’t see people get ate by bears, even Covid, the worst happened behind closed doors only medical professionals saw.
So our stupid monkey brains decide risk doesn’t matter, because we don’t see consequences.
It’s like the end of Silicon Valley, it wasn’t enough to fail, they had to publicly get ripped apart by a metaphorical bear. So everyone else remembered and wouldn’t try.
This trump term is that, unavoidable and unignorable consequences.
So hopefully the idiots at least learn a lesson from it, cuz it’s already happening
They were nothing more than useful idiots, the Party no longer has use for them, they will be among the first Americans sent to the camps.
No they won’t… they are submissives. Real people don’t play the American game.

Fuck all of them, they’ll turn around and support him as soon as it’s convenient again.
This article should be tagged NSFL because reading these cretins more or less claim no one could have possibly known what Trump was going to do nearly triggered a stroke and aneurysm in me.
The next variant of !aneurysmposting@sopuli.xyz
Well, yeah - it was a giant freakin’ mystery on account of how he kept saying what he was going to do. Also the party plan of hundreds of specific things he said he didn’t know anything about but that was a fucking lie? So confusing bro.
It makes sense if you look at it from Trump’s financial backers Dark Enlightenment philosophy. It involves the mimetic theory of creating a scapegoat. So Trump dismantles democracy and triggers the collapse of the United States, is then scapegoated and removed by way of 25th amendment, then the Dark Enlightenment “Chosen One” JD Vance establishes the new patchwork of technomonarchy city-states from the ashes of civilization. Seems a bit rushed, I think they underestimated the amount of effort it would take to destroy the country.
Yeah, though - counterpoint - trump couldn’t think his way out of a wet paper bag, and is famous for blurting out the exact crime he’s committing.
These fucking opportunistic grifters played their audiences like fools, and now want to distance themselves from the fallout they helped create?
No. Fuck these idiots.
Remember when he had covid and almost died? Man that would’ve been so funny
Oh hey look, it’s 2017 all over again.
Not trying to promote my own posts, but this one is very relevant to the topic at hand.
Just watching it. Thanks for posting. The best thing I’ve seen in years
You can’t wash the stink off of you now that the reaping begins. Own it, you get what you were paid for.
They literally did exactly this eight years ago.
Rogan’s gang of yes-men only got more popular by being “open minded” and constantly changing position to whatever direction the wind was blowing.
What? they’re making millions and will continue to do so.
Grifting on Trump’s popularity with a dumber population got them huge sums of wealth, and now that the dumb population is getting bored with the Trump/king narrative they are moving to new attention-grabbing grifts.
This isn’t regret, this isn’t leopards eating anyone’s faces. Can we PLEASE stop acting like we got any kind of justice or satisfaction here, it’s worse than the pandering that the right does with each other in their dumb spaces, because at least they’re dumb and don’t know better. We should know better.
He’s an Alex Jones and Rosanna sympathizer. You show who you are by who you are around.
Speaking of Roseanne, she once shat all over the national anthem at a baseball game and maga has conveniently forgotten that since she is also a racist twat waffle. If they didn’t have double standards they’d have no standards at all.
Too late now, dumbasses.
Absolutely none of these twats are even remotely redeemable.
In a just world, they’d be tried for accomplice to all of the GOP’s crimes
Such brave, principled stands.
A thing that struck me today is like…there was an article talking about how the speaker of the house didn’t like the Superbowl pick. And it’s like, who let these fucking political dorks so far out of their lane?!
Like did Newt Gingrich like the act at the 1996 Superbowl? I don’t know, and I don’t give a fuck. When did everyone start to give a fuck about these stupid asshole’s opinions on entertainment?
Go piss up a tree you dumb fucks. Oh, and btw, do your fucking jobs. The government is shut and you’re busy talking about your fucking music preferences. Nobody cares.
Its culture war bullshit to feed the rabid base. Speaker Johnson doesn’t give a fuck about the Super Bowl halftime but he sure as shit knows his drooling rabid MAGA fanbois love football more than almost anything and so if he can stir up controversy around it and center himself as an force against “corruption” of their favorite pastime it will curry favor with them for whatever else he wants, because they trust him now
This isn’t new. People keep asking celebrities about things they have no expertise on, and politicians have been more celebrity than political servant for a long time it seems.
I don’t care about Ariana Grande’s opinion on the Trump administration insofar as learning whether or not she’s a fascist and I don’t care what kind of music my governor thinks slaps during halftime.
Nah, it’s newer than you think. A lot of it has to do with the rise of the right wing media ecosystem. That’s part of why I brought it up in this thread.
Like yes, they were planting the seeds of this with brainless morons like Rush Limbaugh, but their rise to prominence as “cultural critics” was really in the last decade or so.
These dumbass podcast hosts helped immensely with that and so did Trump, who offers his opinion on art and entertainment and thinks it’s the only one that matters.
The “left wing” media is somewhat complicit in it too. The American media ecosystem overall has shifted to this reality TV or podcast interview mode, where instead of focusing on politicians doing their fucking job they write up articles about their opinions on arts and entertainment.
And it’s like, who let these fucking political dorks so far out of their lane?!

Elected representatives in democracies are largely entertainers, comedians, podcasters, and the likes. You can see many examples, i.e. Trump was a TV star at some time.
That’s why it’s natural for them to continue trying to entertain the people, commenting on everyday things and such, similar to a late-night talk-show.

Citation needed. The last time I checked most politicians were lawyers. Johnson himself started out his career as a lawyer, and he’s the primary subject of my rant here.
Citation needed
i don’t have a citation, and “largely entertainers” was certainly an overstatement. still, there are many examples, like silvio berlusconi in italy (media mogul), boris johnson in england, trump, …
Part of the issue is that pro-sports is heavily integrated into American politics. They’re a major font of propaganda for the US government, both domestically and internationally. Olympic Athletes of all stripes are regularly recruited to express American jingoism on an international stage. Military recruiters love to camp out at football games and happily sponsor helicopter landings, 21 gun salutes, and jet flyovers. Well-networked candidates use endorsements by athletes and wear team merch in order to signal their popularity to constituents. Athletes even serve as international ambassadors (Dennis Rodman famously visited North Korea, Herschel Walker and Michelle Kwan are both Trump-era ambassadors in the Caribbean, Mo Farah worked with the UN).
And then there’s the graft. Politicians regularly get special accommodations from stadium owners in exchange for kickbacks. Athletes and coaches periodically get elevated to run for office (Colin Alred ran for a Texas Senate seat, Tommy Tuberville currently represents Alabama) and use their college/pro-ball networks to raise money for themselves and their political allies. Franchise owners are, themselves, heavily invested in both lowering taxes/cutting regulations and advancing fascistic ideology.
Go piss up a tree you dumb fucks.
Sorry. Too much money and influence is trading hands. They can’t stop. They won’t stop.
Yeah I couldn’t take the fucking NFL in general anymore. It became exactly like America: overhyped, pricier by the year while being worse every year, full of stupid drama, and obviously has its best years behind it.
Who wants to put up with three hours of shitty beer and truck commercials for 30 minutes of mediocre action? (A lot of America, I guess… But I can’t anymore, this frog hopped out of the pot.)
