Joe Rogan is the gestapo’s voice. Joe Rogan is a piece is shit plus he is not funny.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 53 points 5 days ago (3 children)

I don't think he ever was. I never understood why people liked him. He always seemed like a poser to me. He wanted to be a cool guy, he wanted to be funny, he wanted to be a UFC fighter... I guess that kind of describes everyone in the "manosphere".

[–] Earthman_Jim@lemmy.zip 35 points 5 days ago (14 children)

At one point he was actually kinda open minded and could raise an interesting discussion from time to time. Those days are loooooooong fucking gone. It's all just ego maintenance and propaganda now.

Gosh, Joe. Is Trump bad? Does he want to do bad things? Was voting for him bad? Does that make you bad?

Don't worry about it, buddy. You were still right to tell everyone you supported him and would vote for him and that you wanted him to hold you in his big strong pudding-arms while you fell asleep. You were right to support him on air with your millions of idiot listeners. It's ok, pal. Just let everyone know that you don't approve of this latest bad stuff and then it's not your fault. There you go, guy.

Say what you will about the guy, but I really hope he's sincere. He's an idiot, but an idiot with a huge audience. It would be better to have him on our side on this.

This isn't just Rogan. There's a lot of people feeling like this.

An absolutely fascinating polling number we're seeing now is that - even among Republican voters - people generally see Trump as doing badly on immigration. This is a massive shift from how he was perceived before the election, where immigration was where he polled the strongest IIRC. Actually seeing his immigration policies in action has actually soured right wing voters on them.

And the reason is simple; in their minds, they truly, genuinely did not vote for this. They voted to kick out all the "Bad" immigrants, not the sweet old lady who bakes amazing churros and the nice man who runs the drug store.

It's the Shirley Exception. They just assumed that the people they like would be exempt. Because they do not understand that you cannot build a machine for cruelty and then ask it to be kind.

The bad news is, these people vote. The good news is, these people represent a deep and serious fracture in Trump's support, and there is a very real opportunity here for many of them to finally figure out how fucked up their thinking has been all this time.

There's no way he'll turn on the audience that made him filthy rich. Also, it's not the first time he's had a "revelation" about this shit, and nothing changed.

I hope so, too. But, I'm not holding my breath.

I believe in someone redeeming themselves...

But this is a grift post. At least it might do the tiniest bit of good. People who already listen to him are lost regardless so no amount of damage can come out of him but he has a lot of potential to start doing something positive for this world. Even if he sprinkles it here and there.

[–] RaskolnikovsAxe@lemmy.ca 30 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

When is Joe going to stop talking about and admonishing the collective and actually make it personally reflective? Even Schulz actually reflects on his personal error, but Joe cannot risk alienating his audience who supported it, or still do. He has to appear like the 'cool guy just asking questions', not the 'brainless idiot who got out of his depth and enabled fascism'. He can't stand the hit to his self image as a great judge of authenticity/bullshit (truly the most discrepant self image in media). So he adopts the standard comedian rhetorical trick used to build rapport: He talks in the passive, 'are we really that type of people' voice. It is an influencer mindset, obsessed with audience.

These guys are total frauds. They completely sold out, assuming they had principles before. They never shut up about Hopf's "hard times create strong men", because they clearly think these are the hard times and they are the strong MMA tough men, but there's no way life is hard for these pampered-ass multimillionaires living in their mansions, and if you took all that away we'd find out they're as soft as baby shit.

No you're not, you're going to be slave catchers, you know the groups the Gestapo took inspiration from: https://mastodon.seattlematrix.org/users/mousey/statuses/115897480849291168

This is your fucking white American history my friends, and time is running to have the collective reckoning about it you've sorely needed for decades.

[–] MunkyNutts@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (5 children)

But he prefaced this with some real nationalist, replacement theory bullshit.

2:39:43 And I think there's there's a balance to be achieved. I just don't know how it gets done because I I see both perspectives. I see the perspective of the people that say, "Hey, there was an illegal program moving people in here to get votes, moving people in here to get congressional seats, and we've got to change that. We've got to take those people that got in and send them back to where they came from or do something because if we don't, they're going to keep doing it if they get in office again in 2028 and it's going to accelerate. and you're you're you're going to have to take away some of the damage that's been done to a true democratic system because you've kind of hijacked it and they kind of have. And then I can also see the point of view of the people that say, "Yeah, but you don't want militarized people in the streets just roaming around snatching people up, many of which turn out to actually be US citizens that just don't have their papers on them. Are we really going to be the the Gestapo? Where's your papers? Is that what we've come to?" So, it's it's more complicated than I think people want to admit. You know, people want to look at this as a black and white issue. You know, if you're a compassionate person or if you're a pragmatic person and I don't think that's true. I think it's both.

[–] ristoril_zip@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

So does the modern incarnation of the "great replacement theory" include dastardly Democrats "moving people" like Somali refugees into a relatively concentrated area (like one city or county or region), waiting for them to become citizens (multi year process if ever), and then leveraging that to take power through elections?

I mean I think the explanation that makes more sense is grouping traumatized people with a shared heritage together probably makes them feel safer and accelerates true assimilation (bi directional to include America changing a bit). Coupled with this that become citizens through our legal naturalization process are... American citizens. But what do I know I'm probably not taking enough HGH and testosterone and ketamine

He doesn't get a pass on his past, but if it moves the needle on his followers, good. Better this than even more bootlicking. It's a crisis/war right now. Accounting can happen after.
