r/JoeRogan

I guess the question is, do you think he has too much ego to admit that he was complicit in helping elect the one person who is destroying the country at a pace that a Manchurian Candidate would be envious of? Does he know what he did and is just pretending he is too stupid to understand…or is he literally that stupid? I just can’t understand how he isn’t feeling guilty yet. America is failing and he seems too dumb to process it because he’s rich.

The clips I’ve seen of the latest Andreson episode annoy me for like half a dozen reasons.

First, Mark complains about Austin not using a technology he is personally invested in a conspiracy minded Joe doesn’t push back at all. Andreson literally uses the argument Joe has criticized for two decades that was used to justify the Patriot Act and Joe just smiles and nods, as if the pushback hasn’t been one of his most consistent (and correct) taking points for ages.

Then, they sit and criticize Mamdani securing state funding to balance the budget, even though NYC generates ~55% of tax revenue and only receives 40% percent of state funding. Like, I don’t expect Joe to understand all that much at this point, but ffs he is one of the most impressionable people in the world if the person sitting across from him is rich, reinforces Joe’s priors and is caresses his ego in a sufficient fashion.

I rarely skipped an episode from 2010 to like 2016, but this show is getting unbearable to listen to at this point.

Dan just put out a new common sense for those that are unaware. Still holding out hope he comes back on the pod.

I’m an avid listener of Joe and I hope he course corrects on this issue. Joe should listen to his friends Theo and Tim Dillon.

I don’t think most people realize that Joe’s defense of the ultra rich is not only based on his personal relationship with them but also the fact that Rogan is lost likely also already worth a billion dollars or at least close to it if you consider the worth of the JRE which is his main asset. He has not only been making hundreds of millions in sponsorship deals, Spotify and Ads, the actual podcast has become a massive media company and considering its reach it is definitely worth hundreds of millions.

This is much worse than him being stupid and getting manipulated into defending his rich friends, he is defending himself.
