  • Actually, I think you’re both right. Yes, Joe Rogan (as a cultural phenomenon) has no good reason to exist and I, too, want to see him destroyed.

    But the evidence is mounting that many people love to listen to a wretched, moronic, self-important piece of shit like him (or Alex Jones or countless others on the right). Because he validates all of their worst tendencies for bigotry, conspiracist thinking, and intellectual laziness. Building up another Hasan Piker or Jimmy Dore isn’t helping because all they do is preach to the choir.

    If you want meaningful change you have to get money out of politics, reform the voting system, and focus on education. Not that any of that is going to happen without a major upheaval but hey, I’m trying to be constructive here…

    I hate it when I’m looking for a single piece of information like how to change a specific setting on my device and there’s no text available, just a highly rated video that goes like:

    “Hey guys, it’s your boy ManualExplainer here and welcome to another video. Be sure to like and subscribe to my channel. And remember to click on the little bell icon so you get notified whenever I put up a new video. All right, let’s get to it. But first, a word from today’s sponsor.”
