I Was Wrong About Joe Rogan

I don't think he was "converting him to be a shill"

I think he was telling him that he's getting a little too wild on twitter and maybe he should check with a friend sometimes before he posts that stuff. Once shit is on the internet its forever. 1 bad tweet can cost you your shit, look at Roseanne.

Rogan seems to have flipped I agree. In the last year he seems to be regurgitating talking points or things he's suppose to say and he's just not a very good actor. Also he does things that are incongruent with what seems to be his overall message. The whole I can't have Rosanne on right now thing was weird, in general his "friendship" with Rosanne is weird. There are other examples.

Also, after listening to hours of Joe Rogan it's not hard to imagine him in 30 years saying something like this, "I was offered X amount of money [very large amount] of course I did it, what would you do?". He doesn't actually come across as particularly morally consistent person. Get offered enough money, if you can't see a downside and you get to retire into the sunset, what would you do?

It would not surprise me at all. Why threaten someone when it's easier to just buy them off and both parties will be happy? Listen to what Rogan says to Shooter Jennings at this timestamp.

"Well, you're trying to make sense right now and that's the problem. That's why I wanted us to get high."

This particular interview is so bad. Rogan spends most of it shitting on conspiracies saying none of it is real (except for the Russian bot conspiracy, that's totally real!) and every time Shooter makes a good point Rogan just deflects or changes the subject.

Oh yeah he totally does say this is why I wanted us to get high.

As far as I'm concerned, Joe Rogan is a liberal "progressive." He may not have advocated attacking white people or the Republicans yet, but he's not that far away from it. He used to be at least a moderate, but he swung left as the nation swung right.

I've never seen a more obvious shill than Rogan.

Can we agree that shill is usually reserved for someone who is part of the movement or getting paid? I think Joe Rogan just punches way outside of his IQ reach and swings HARD back and forth. Did his conversion to Hillary coincide with his push away from conspiracy (and massive doses on HGH)?

SandHog

He flipped like reddit did for Hillary late 2016; overnight. I'm sure the exact time period could be pinpointed but I only ever tuned in when there was someone interesting on. Happens to so many of them. And the ones that don't get de-platformed.

SandHog

Thoughts on this? Rogan really seemed to flip around the end of last year. Seems to be three options. Flip and shill, shut the fuck up and go away, or we will attempt to make you a homeless pariah.
