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.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] Shuilishu@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 3 hours 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?

[–] curious_dolphin@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 hours 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

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 14 points 6 hours ago

Joe is operating in bad faith here.

Q: At what point can we call a spade a spade and they'd agree?

A: Never

Even if we were literally rounding Jews up into boxcars and shipping them off to be killed in ovens, the republicans would be like "OH, SO WE JUST CALL EVERYONE NAZIS NOW".

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 13 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, remember when people would say that qons could be literally goosestepping for their orange dickhead (or someone else standing in for the same role they are so very thirsty to worship) and they'd still be gaslighting about it?

The real president just threw Nazi salutes, and here we are...

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

It's similar to their regular "you call everything racism" bullshit. They really do seem to believe that acknowledging what they are doing is unfair to them.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

He's the voice of a generation...

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

The generation that grew up breathing lead fumes.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

So weird to see this guy now after watching him early in his career on news radio. Then watching fear factor from time to time.

When I think of Rogan now I remember the day Howard Stern was kicked off of clear channel. I guess the only thing that really bothered Republicans was that Howard wasn't on their side.

That's giving Joe way too much credit. Goebbels was evil, but he was also smart.

[–] jason@discuss.online 12 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Spot on. There are so many good quotes from him and Goering. I'm not a Nazi weirdo or anything, but they're just so... Relevant.

Goebbels:

A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.

Makes you think some leaders studied this a bit...

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

W: "See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda."

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Yeah I debated going with Göring, but I decided to pick the 'mouth of Sauron ' angle. As Göring is also way more intelligent than Rogan... And a legit war vet.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 53 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

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.”

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

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.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 48 points 21 hours ago (7 children)

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.

He’s not hitler. He’s just a nazi.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago

I wouldn't be shocked if Joe didn't know that there were Nazis other than Hitler.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 175 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 children)

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

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.

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.

[–] JoshuaBrusque@lemmy.world 133 points 1 day ago

Nazi sympathizer = Nazi
