Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

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!

Joe does not rely on facts he relies on his talent to hold conversation and trap people to agreeing with his opinions. He spews the biggest bunch of horse shit. I am from Southern Africa, I listend to a podcast where he was talking about cheetahs. Yeah he had no idea and talking garbage about how cheetahs behave. That's when my suspicions about him were verified and I was like fuck this guy. Don't support this douche.

Joe Rogan defending a billionaire for doing a overt nazi salute in public? Crazy. Who could have seen this coming.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Man. I would love to hear less from this guy. I block every goddamn channel on YouTube that has clips of this ass hat, and yet, YouTube keeps feeding me videos of him. What the everloving fuck?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

So, what I'm hearing is, you engage with every video that features Joe Rogan, and now you're surprised the algorithm is feeding you more Joe Rogan? /s 🤣 sorry, I couldn't help myself

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Ha. Good point. I need to just get off YouTube. But alas.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I wish that I existed in the better timeline where after Fear Factor was over, this guy went on to sell vacuum cleaners on infomercials where he belongs instead of being some sort of political talking head. I mean, what the fuck.

I joked about this once, but I'm starting to think that if the Democrats want to win the people over, they need to get that guy who hosted Survivor to run for president, and get Guy Fieri to run a podcast to get all the kids onboard. The USA might not trust politicians or science or education anymore but they sure as hell trust '00s era reality TV stars.

America elected a B-movie actor and then a reality TV show star as presidents, so I think you're probably right. The culture of celebrity worship in America could be the only way to get through to people.

big surprise

I'm noticing that being a "man's man" seems to correlate with being a bootlicker.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 1 week ago

an entire ideology totally deaf to irony.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Anti intellectualism and submitting to fascist authority both align with machismo culture.

Moat of them have been trained from a very young age by their religious leaders to beleive anything without proof and that malice is the most effective and moral way to obtain dopamine.

And extreme toxicity to the point that it drives everyone away from them so they just start with some Olympic level mental gymnastics to explain why it's not their fault people hate them.

Nazi sympathizer = Nazi

[–] [email protected] 111 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Keep doubling down, you fucking jackasses. Rest of the world is watching.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

When your podcast accepts Nazis on your show ... your show is Nazi propaganda

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago

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!".

[–] [email protected] 100 points 1 week ago (16 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago

I can't either, but he helped swing the election.

if you still have spotify, please cancel it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago
[–] floofloof 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, I guess at this point Spotify is a pro-Nazi business.

What large corporation isn’t at this point?

Can always count on Joe Rogan to be the smartest man in the room when he’s alone.

[–] [email protected] 69 points 1 week ago (20 children)

I don't know, I think he may be the first person to ever be stupider than himself.

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.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago

Hmm i have the feeling it's start with a N

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He’s not hitler. He’s just a nazi.

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.

And does Nazi salutes in public. And supports "Tommy Robinson", leader of the UK's stupidest far-right thugs. And was praised by his own father for returning to his Nazi roots.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

I wanna see a cage match between Joe Rogan and Alex Jones where they beat the hell out of each other while ~~debating~~ screaming incoherently.

Joe Rogan is such a disappointment. Dude lost his mind during COVID.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Hey hey now - let's not forget that he got famous in the first place on the garbage pile that was fear factor.
