It's that kind of incisive political analyses that make all the "lolDemz" leftist commentary worthwhile. Thank you for your service. /s

In the settling light of dusk, I crouched alone under the great tree - trying to expreience the breath of the world, but shamefully thinking about cheese to eat when I got home. Time passed and the light faded even more. The calmness of the evening thrum began. Although I heard nothing, I began to feel as if I had company somewhere near - a shrew perhaps? One of my buggy friends? No. I glanced upwards. In full regal glory, the shaded figure of our long eared owl beamed, "Whazzaaaa!!" - and was gone.

tfw we still report what they say as if it ever mattered.

She must be terrified, poor thing.

I have no doubt that's literally true.

I get what both of y'all are saying. I've seen his show a couple times, he takes an hour or so with someone on the edge of mainstream from either side and asks basic questions that pop into his head. That's the gist of it, and by itself, in a vacuum (or in the privacy of one's home, say) it's fine. I wanted to hear what his guests had to say on occasion.

That said, there's a lot of identification with power and dominance symbolism that happen all throughout it, and endorsing trump is unconscionable. I appreciate he's expanded his mind with DMT or whatever but seriously, whatever supplements he's on have suppressed some serious judgement pathways. I don't eat Subway 'cause they're still in ruzzia and I won't listen to Rogan for any reason now.

Rogaineosphere?

Oh shit, it's almost as if there are more dimensions to politics than just the single axis the Democratic Party is willing to acknowledge.

Shit leftie go on and tell us what that single axis is. Make sure to use "libs" a lot.

The whole style of their art is to make an omelette on the fly while definitely breaking a few eggs along the way. It is fundamentally necessary for them to be able to make a mistake and move on, and that is something that the “cancel culture” was progressively trying to deny.

Is this cancel culture in the room with us now?

Even on my own YouTube, I actively curate the recommendations and channels that get suggested to me and tend to cut out the extreme right wing and I still get suggestions for anti-woke conservative videos.

For reasons I cannot explain sufficiently, YouTube seem to be in full we-have-no-ideas panic mode and spitting out lots of right wing crap regardless of what your algorithms used to be.

democrats need someone who occupies a similar space as Rogan that young people want to watch.

I've said it before and I'll probably say it another hundred times but that.cannot.happen. It's not possible. It's like saying "democrats should fight an armed conflict with water balloons and paste" - it is not a possible thing to do.

There are some really interesting reasons why that is, but the TL;DR of it is right-wing conservative bullshit does not translate. So what we'd get is a left-wing liberal papier-mâché version that wore thin quickly.

All I'm saying is don't bother going down this road. It'll eat up lots of time and have no results that will help. The answer to Fox News Limbaugh Rogan Chudville Station is not the opposite sameness. It's entirely different media.
