Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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!

I wonder sometimes if he is actually stupid and actually believes some of this stuff or if he just says outrageous shit to get people to listen to his show.
So he’s either a fucking moron or a fucking troll, neither of which I’d wanna listen to.
He's stupid. He used to think the Moon landing was faked.
It is a fact that Joe Rogan is a cringy moron.
He changed his mind on that?
I can't remember who finally convinced him (Neil DeGrasse Tyson maybe?) but yes.
He can be both.
It's Schrodinger's Douchebag:
3a. if reaction is good for self - repeat outrageous thing
3b. if reaction is not good for self - dismiss outrageous thing as "joke"
I would argue that someone who says outrageous lies to garner attention is actually stupid, regardless of whether he believes it or not.
I hope he gets sued into poverty, but I have no faith in our legal system.
He's been hit in the head a lot. Made a career out of being hit in the head.
I thought he made his career as an occasionally funny screaming stand up comic. And then as a mma commentator, then as a deplorable pod cast guy.
He started out as a Taekwondo fighter, then a kickboxer before he started commentary.
He also did Fear Factor, a decent show.
I've always believed they were serious about learning. I remember being frustrated that people are often abusive instead of explaining why dumb thoughts are dumb but after like 10 years of multi-hour interviews with smart people they don't seem to be making much progress. Maybe there is a constant inflow of new dumb listeners, and most last a few years and kind of graduate out of listening, but he has to stay the same for the whole thing to work.
