Rather be a dumb tool than a toxic garbage person.

Anyone that takes medical advice from a podcast and ignores the CDC and WHO probably weren’t long for this world anyways. He’s an entertainer. That’s it.

Read the article, it says it right there? Am I tool because I’m just pointing out something that’s in the article? Thanks for your amazing contribution to this discussion.

I am a centrist, but I never said anything about that, so I’m not sure how or why you’re jumping to that. Do you really have to be a centrist to think we should still be decent people? Even if the other side IS bad, taking the high road so you don’t mistakenly stoop to their level is the way to go. You say my views are “nonsense” and use a Spongebob meme to mock them, because they aren’t yours. That’s exactly the kind of thinking that makes me dislike your side. You claim fascism on the other side, while simultaneously being authoritarian and xenophobic in your own way.

Because a lot of people are dumb and easily manipulated.

Yeah totally, one supports your opinion and the other does not.

Just curious, but why do you think they are different? It’s real easy to just say “no you’re wrong”.

Why are you changing the subject? I agree, his words are insanity as well. Our whole political system is fucked. Everyone is divided and regards the other side as less than human and it’s abhorrent.

It’s not one random comment section, it’s fucking everywhere brother.

If you don’t see the hypocrisy in your own words, then your conclusion doesn’t mean much to me.

I actually watched the podcast for the context of this article. You’re right, he doesn’t apply the same scrutiny towards Trump. Yet, he does acknowledge it and they showed the clip of Trump’s idiotic speech. They also laugh at him, but then move on. Anyone that actually watches the podcast, the ones you’re afraid will be manipulated into fascism or whatever, would have seen that recanted. The only side that has a real opinion swaying agenda is the media side. A lot of people just read headlines and move on. Those people would never even be aware of the correction.

Also, I don’t care. I know Joe Rogan has different political views than I do and that doesn’t stop me from seeing him as a person that is entitled to his own views. I can still respect him for his work in comedy, mma and for his podcast. I haven’t watched a full one in a while, but he has some good ones with interesting people. He also has a way of interviewing people that seems mich more real than most other formats. He just shoots the shit with people and it doesn’t feel like some scripted intentional message they’re trying to put out.

I don’t care if people like him or not, can you say the same?

What does bother me is how it seems like people love to be absolute trash while looking down on people they think are trash. Wishing people would die because they don’t agree with you politically is insane and far far worse than having a opinion about something.

Like blasting headlines about how shitty Joe Rogan is? I’ve seen a ton of them and pretty much all of them are overblown, taken out of context or misleading. Media knows you guys love to hate him, that’s why they put out these pieces in the first place.

Also, I fail to see how someone wanting to put down Biden is bad. People are entitled to their opinions and views, even if they aren’t what you agree with. I seriously doubt Joe Rogan is plotting to make America fascist. Biden is not without his faults as well. His main selling point is that he isn’t Trump.

There’s a healthy middle ground that everyone seems to be allergic to. Not wanting to meet someone because they don’t hate someone is not healthy. The top thread here has someone making a joke about they wish he’d die. Most of these people haven’t even watched his podcast, they just get told to hate him by the media. Article here is a good example of that.

Downvoting people that notice the toxicity and say something as simple as “wow you guys really hate someone” is a good example too.

Bo Nickal (the person who said that) is an MMA fighter.

If you read the article, it says he was corrected and acknowledged the mistake.

You wish he would die?

Disposable e-cigarettes were a direct and immediate response to pod based vapes getting banned. Use to be, you would buy a device and just buy juice pods that were disposable. It still wasn’t great for waste, but that policy was a clear step in the wrong direction.

They saved children from using Juuls, just to fill the landfills with lithium batteries.

In this example, when you say “divide it zero times”, what you are really saying is “divide it by 2, zero times”.

Ted Cruz is a turd, but uhh this is false. The original outlet has even changed the headline since then.
