He did not acknowledge the logical conclusion that everything he said about Biden being unfit should then in theory be applied to Trump. No, Trump just "fucked up".

If read the article critically, you would not accept such a lazy correction.

    I actually watched the podcast for the context of this article. You're right, he doesn't apply the same scrutiny towards Trump. Yet, he does acknowledge it and they showed the clip of Trump's idiotic speech. They also laugh at him, but then move on. Anyone that actually watches the podcast, the ones you're afraid will be manipulated into fascism or whatever, would have seen that recanted. The only side that has a real opinion swaying agenda is the media side. A lot of people just read headlines and move on. Those people would never even be aware of the correction.

    Also, I don't care. I know Joe Rogan has different political views than I do and that doesn't stop me from seeing him as a person that is entitled to his own views. I can still respect him for his work in comedy, mma and for his podcast. I haven't watched a full one in a while, but he has some good ones with interesting people. He also has a way of interviewing people that seems mich more real than most other formats. He just shoots the shit with people and it doesn't feel like some scripted intentional message they're trying to put out.

    They would have seen a recantion, yes, but nothing about either saying why he just ranted about Biden's mental fitness with appropriate evidence OR spend some significant time retracting each adjective that he applied to Biden on false information.

    He is fucking broadcasting. Stop treating him like a buddy sitting on your couch. He either knows what he is doing, or he has no respect for the power of having a large audience that can internalize messages on his word.

    I believe your comment shows a lack of awareness of how people get piped to fascist viewpoints. To be clear, I do not think Rogen is intentionally leading people there, but being an idiot is not a great shield.

    Because a lot of people are dumb and easily manipulated.

    That's also why Joe Rogans stupid conspiracy theories and political bias can be dangerous, sometimes. Stupid people will believe every word like he knows what he's talking about.

    I don't hate him or think he's evil, either, fwiw. He's just a dumb out of touch rich guy with too many gullible fans.

    I don't understand why people act like he's the fucking devil. Like, you can think he's a dumbass, but some people seem to want to act like he's legitimately evil.

    Here, don't run and hide from your ignorance, let it shine.

    You are legitimate cringe

    Also what evidence? I shared an opinion about how people act like he's evil. Are you illiterate? Or just a fucking dork?

    Twas another thread, possibly another account as well. Does me being caught up mean I'm replying to comments 36 hours later?

    Enjoy your day ;)

    Pot, meet kettle.

    Feel free to stop replying to complain about me replying, it's hilariously vapid and works against your point. I enjoyed your projection tho, be sure to laugh maniacally when you switch to your alt accounts to upvote yourself for that sweet, sweet validation you don't get from the real world.
