Sometimes I wonder what would've happened if Ray Romano had never been fired from NewsRadio and replaced by Joe Rogan early into production. He might've remained some vaguely amusing meathead opening for more talented comics at 'The Comedy Store' to this day... And the world might've been spared from 9 seasons of Everybody Loves Raymond.

    Do you think the stools would have been able to handle it?

    A lot of progressive and "progressive" commentators of notoriety are to blame for Rogan's rise to the mainstream as a fascist icon.

    Throughout 2015-2019, mainstream progressives online were constantly throwing everyone, who rightly called out MAGA for being fascists, under the bus. They did this to appeal to the average MAGA moron under the bullshit belief that these fascist assholes could be convinced to our side through decorum and treating them with respect that was NEVER reciprocated.

    Joe Rogan's show was the pinnacle of where progressives would do this. The same show where fascists would be on the next episode and demonize the same progressives that were just glazing them.

    This allowed Joe to pretend to be anti-establishment and "neutral" to your average dipshit, and it made grooming them into fascism all the easier for Joe to do.

    I always wonder what would've happened if Lydia Lunch would've put that cigarette out in his eye like she said she would. I've realized it's a toss up. He would've either developed an intense femdomination fetish and left the public sphere entirely to be a full-time sex slave for a sadistic domme (i.e. Wachoqski sisters) or turned even more violently misogynistic than he already is. I'm not sure if either option is an improvement over what we have now, but I do think Jane Rogan could've been a great advocate for masculine tgirlism.
