Of course, not Tomi Lahren though…

    Real question, what’s wrong with Rogan? I get that he says some things that I might not agree with myself, but he’s still fun to watch in my opinion.

      I agree he’s fun to watch

      But he’s also a sneako right winger. he always claims to be just asking questions but he platforms primarily people on the right, including his ghoul of a friend Alex Jones, with occasional responses from the other side, but it’s heavily skewed. He’s a hard r republican even in violation of his own beliefs, supporting politicians who would re-criminalize weed

      Shapiro might be a smarmy queef, but at least he wears his allegiance on his sleeve, Rogan, Peterson, and Musk play coy for broader appeal like they’re not fully in line with the party and they don’t understand the allegation, when they absolutely are and they absolutely do. To quote one of them “I can’t say I respect that”

      His podcast used to be like sneakily listening to your dad and uncle shoot the shit. It would be funny, insightful, philosophical etc.

      Now it’s like listening to your senile grandpa bitching about the same thing over and over again telling the same story and shitting on the youth for doing the same thing he did when he was younger.

      Best way I can describe it.

        This but if your granpa is often inviting antivaxxers and transphobes over to chat and every time they say something fucked up he’s just like “Ya… totally…wow… you’re right…”

        Not gonna lie, people throw around the word ‘fascist’ too much. The word has basically lost all meaning at this point.

          That doesn’t change the fact that it does indeed have a meaning and often applies

              Because he entertains known fascists and fascist tenets as normal and even honorable.

              Dude this entire thread is about exactly this, and you even brought it up.
