Joe Rogan called out the "bullshit game" of accusing "everyone" of being a Nazi following Elon Musk being accused by critics of giving a Nazi salute.

Yeah! Just because a racist, fascist douchebag does a seig heil doesn’t mean you should tell obvious big mean old lies about him being a Nazi!

You tell those woke mind virus victims, Joe!

    Do people always forget how the story about crying wolf ends? A real fuckin wolf shows up. Rips the kid to sheds. Horrible ending.

      An entire town decided that they’d have a child act as the monitor for a known threat; he makes two mistakes and then they stop believing him as he does the job the town put him there to do. At no point does anyone decide, “hey, maybe we should put two kids up there… just in case.”

        It would have been to progressive to not use child labor. They likely didn’t respect his job because they considered it unskilled. All he did was stand at the door at Costco and check for membership cards.

        Oh wait…

    These people play the “left is always over reacting” but they would carry water for Elon no matter how damming the evidence. They’ve shown they don’t care about evidence or reality its all vibes to them.

    Joe Rogan is a meathead.

    Close your eyes and imagine a meathead.

    That’s Joe Rogan.

    Only a fool would listen to what Joe Rogan has to say because only fools listen to meatheads.

    Unfortunately, we live in an age where meatheads are idolized by millions of people. Because our educational systems have failed. Because many, if not most, humans were simply not ready for the internet.

    I feel dumber just having read that. Apparently pointing out that someone made a Nazi salute is covering for the fact that … checks notes … you’re an asshole. The fact that this village idiot is popular is truly a damning indictment of America.

    I still can’t for the life of me figure out why anyone gives a shit about what Joe Rogan says. We need to stop giving monumentally stupid people such large platforms.

      Whether or not you or I care what he has to say doesn’t change that he has a huge audience of people who do care and if we just tune him out instead of rebutting his crazy shit he’ll go completely unchecked.

        There’s an argument to be made that just engaging his bullshit gives it weight. Something about arguing with a pig just gets you pulled into the mud and the pig likes it or somesuch. (I know, I butchered that saying).

        I honestly prefer the angle of “Oh, you listen to Joe Rogan. Then clearly your opinion is of no consequence and I want nothing with you”.

          And people wonder how the Democrats lost in 2024.

          “Oh this person did one thing that isn’t permanent and they could possibly have their viewpoints changed if they were around people like me who disagree with them? Nah I’m going to tell them that because they listen to a podcast of a guy I hate that I think everything about them is wrong and then I will never speak to them again.”

          The only way to stop the young men and women from getting sucked down there pipeline into the alt right dude bro bullshit is to fucking talk to them like they are humans that can make mistakes. When you write them off entirely instantly without even a second thought you are robbing everyone involved of the potential for personal growth and understanding.

            “Bigotry is bad and you should feel bad.”

            “What, so people can’t make mistakes anymore? So much for the ‘tolerant left’.” And then they double down, because feeling bad is for liberal pussies.

      More accurately, when your podcast accepts nazi’s on your show… and you let them go off on rants and you don’t push back on them… your show is nazi propoganda.

      It’s perfectly reasonable for a show to have horrific people on… so long as they loudly are showing “No that is bullshit, here’s why that is bullshit!”.

      Key word is “watching”. They’re more than happy to have an audience as long as they get what they want. And they do and they are.

        Thanks for all the suggestions. I’ll have a look at them. Unfortunately none of them seem all that good. Spotify ist the only one that has a Linux app. Tide has a third party app, which is just the website inside electron. Even the Spotify app is just electron. I find it extremely shitty that these companies don’t even bother publishing electron apps. The ratings on the play store are also mostly bad. But I have to investigate that.

        I know it’s fashionable to hate on Apple (justified or not), but Apple Music is very good. As a bonus, you can bundle it with Apple TV+, which have so many extremely good shows and movies.

        I’ve tried a few of them, all with family plans:

        • Amazon Music: good track selection, awful apps. Horrid integration with Sonos.

        • YouTube Music: I was using this for quite a while, my kids hated it because of the way the miniplayer worked. I found it frustrating because it would often play a YouTube rip of a song instead of the album track.

        • Tidal: great choice, but I couldn’t get it to use gapless playback when casting to my receiver.

        • Apple Music: we’re currently all using this one. Everyone is happy (Android, Chromecast, Sonos, iPhones, iPads, Car Play, and Android Auto). Finally.
