Credulous is the word.
Under the guise of objectivity he gives all fringe opinions equal significance.
Edit: here’s a good explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZAQYI_hYp0
His mind’s so open his brain fell out
But it was so small nobody could find it
I’m okay with skeptical and verifying but he doesn’t challenge all his guests equally. I’m not saying he should be perfect, but there are some really far out ideas that need more questioning before I’m personally satisfied.
His show is entertainment first and foremost. That means glorifying stupid bullshit for the entertainment value of it.
Most hard science is boring. Most fringe theory thinking is dramatic and thrilling.
I would rather someone excitedly tell me about how gravitational lensing is usedto view a black hole over listening to some fuckwit go on about how there is an Ice wall around the flat earth patrolled by Navies to prevent the truth that Nasa faked Australia coming out.
Nasa faked Australia
As an Australian, this is wild and I want to know more.
Edit: Woah. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/australia-doesnt-exit-people-who-live-actors-paid-nasa-kurt-nielsen
Speak for yourself. Hard science isn’t boring to me.
I guess this is why he is successful. Entertaining.
Spot on
he is a cunt, literally lied about how he heard they are putting cat litter into classes so that kids eho identify as cats have somewhere to go, then when called out on it that it’s bullshit he just said it’s a joke or something.
the real reason litter was being put into classes was so that if a school shooting happens kids have somewhere to go and it doesn’t go everywhere
it’s covered in Some more News’ Moral panic video

Do Americans not realize how fucked up their country sounds to the rest of us when they do this kind of shit instead of controlling you-know-what?
We absolutely do. Our country has been captured and held hostage by a small minority of selfish morons.
Gun control is tricky; studies that I’ve seen show that a large majority want “dune kind of gun control” but any discussion of what that entails starts to get less popular in a hurry.
I’ve found that many otherwise reasonable people get upset really quickly when the subject even gets brought up.
what is dune gun control
Holtzman shields. They only allow matter to pass when that matter is going slowly enough, making guns useless.
I love that though. I want to hear these wack jobs talk. I don’t listen to get smarter, just like I don’t go to McDonalds for a fine cooked meal.
And that’s fine, if you understand that these are wack jobs who shouldn’t be taken seriously. Most of Rogan’s listeners definitely don’t

Don’t listen to Joe Rogan because he platforms morons and so forth
Yeah if people go to a game show host/sports commentator for their political or scientific worldview that isn’t my problem.
It is your problem when they start using the views these dumbass hosts are spewing to elect fuckwits.
It is a problem for most of us who live in the US because those are the type of people who are now getting elected and bringing the country backwards.
He is a moron
I hope so, because the alternative is he knows what he’s doing which would be truly fucked up.
For many years he was the idiot’s intellectual.
I feel so dumb that i liked him a few weeks. Then i stumbled across that old ape Video where he shouts at an ape scientist because he thinks he knows better than her… It was so embarassing. He’s got a big ego
Can’t tell if you’re referring to Rogan or the Anon in the post?
Joe - of course! :D
If you told Joe that Apple own a warehouse full of genetically altered chickens that actually laid iPhones he’d stare at you, slack-jawed and wonder why this hasn’t been reported in the press. Just a fucking clown from his toes to his eyelashes.
How did you find out about the iChickens? That’s a trade secret.
ahem I think you’ll find they are called iHens, actually. Each one has been spliced with Jobs’ DNA, so instead of clucking they constantly say ‘boom’.
Is the part above his eyelashes something else or is it just clown top?
Pure, unfiltered and undiluted clown. It is so potent it acts like a reserve when the rest of the body needs to be replenished.
Joe is, in all actuality, a clown camel.
The problem with Rogan is that he doesn’t have the knowledge or qualifications to push back against people spewing bullshit on his show, and so he ends up essentially making fringe, pseudo-scientific ideas seem equal to the mainstream expert consensus view.
And the outspoken wrong on the show people are oftentimes cool and charismatic, so people trust them.
the problem with rogan is that he agrees with the worst people on his show. he doesn’t push back because he doesn’t want to. he peaked on news radio.
YAYUH! What we need is a ministry of truth to protect the public!
I stopped listening to his podcasts when I realised he doesn’t know the facts and spews what he believes are facts. I admire him to hold a conversation for as long as he does and keep it somewhat entertaining but beyond that it’s nothing more than pseudo science.
One of the best greentext explanations out there
This is good shit
The apotheosis of what a dumb guy thinks a smart guy sounds like.
The manifested avatar of a crowd of drunk college kids having an uninformed debate.
The patron saint of mansplaining.
From my knowledge of them (which is sadly non-zero), I think Ben Shapiro fits the first description better.
my favorite Shabibo moment was when he had a “debate” with a famous Tory broadcaster in the UK and got dunked on so hard he called him a leftist.
He was promoting a book about how the left is quick to anger and intolerant at the time to boot, but of course his go to insult was to call someone a leftist.
Nobody, not even dumb people, think Joe Rogan sounds like a smart guy. They think he sounds like a relatable (dumb) guy who talks to smart guys.
So basically he hasn’t changed since he was on News Radio.
That used to be true. He got sucked into the right wing echo chamber real though and he has getting worse as time goes on.
Every post that hits /all/ from this comm is either misogyny or casual racism like this.
Yeah, that’s what I noticed about the 4chan-related subreddits, too. It’s basically all 4chan has to offer. “haha, we’re racist!” or equivalent.
Because that’s what people upvote after all. Rage always gets more engagement.
It’s not what “people” upvote, it’s what white people upvote, because they’re racists.
Well that’s rather ironic
Nah
Casual racism about Eurasian people on 4chan? It’s more likely than you think.
Eurasian nomads were quite technically advanced, which is why they spent centuries wrecking Europe.
It’s just Horse Archers are very OP and it took the devs a long time to nerf em.
Not just horses - everything from the first fiat currency to the first widespread use of hand cannons and rapid communication networks. It’s often forgotten (or never learned) that the Yuan dynasty was a Mongol-led successor state to the Mongol empire.
Barbarian Khan
yes the culture that happens to adapt/improve/recruit tech, culture and people from all over the place is the ‘‘barbarian’’
I was always under the assumption that ‘barbarian’ was specifically the term Romans used to refer to any non Romans north of the empire?
Still, funny shitpost.
That’s the historical root of the term, but “barbaric” and “barbarian” also have long histories as diminutive due to colonialism.
I had thought it was specifically Greeks dunking on Syrian/Arabian because their language sounded like they were just saying, “Bar bar bar.”
Reading up a little more, it sounds more like it was their description of anyone who is not Greek.
North west of the empire.
How dare you make me see this with my morning tea.
Man’s got tiny soda can nipples
Fuck me this is hilarious Jo Raw Khan
This is just racism
Racist against who? 13th century Mongols?
Against Mongols. But it is also incredibly chuavanist in general toward all tribal people.
Is it though? I’m not sure the various Mongol empires are exactly your typical tribal people. I’m not sure you can even call them tribal people at all in the modern sense. They were an empire spanning a vast region of the world at one point.
yeah I mean, if anything, mongols were imperialistic, expanding their empire during the 13th and 14th centuries and using violence to do so.
They were tribal PRIOR to Khan uniting them in to a single empire that then spread in to the largest contiguous empire in the known history of mankind.
Jesus shut the fuck up you absolute raging mong.
eat shit and die
