Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.

    But it’s not a fact. Like, by definition, it’s literally not.

    These fucking grown toddlers think anything that offends their feefees is bad, or wrong, or illegal. Because they have no coping mechanism beyond throwing a tantrum. Grow. the. fuck. up.

    People that don’t share your views exist, and they are important too…

    I keep trying to give Rogan some slack, I’ve been listening to his podcast on and off for a decade now and it just gets harder and harder to excuse him. I genuinely understand someone having a distrust for ‘the narrative’ . What I don’t understand is how someone could do both that and then immediately trust the very next narrative that comes along. It seems naive and laughable.

    Keep talking about chimps and DMT, Joe for fucks sake

    Joe Rogan says….

    ROFL. Who cares what Broprah has to say. He’s the irrelevance whisperer.

    Wow, not a single comment here acknowledging the documented prolific use by the U.S. of agents provocateur to infiltrate and sabotage anti-establishment groups and protests. The only difference between the historic infiltration of environmental movements, civil rights/BLM, etc., and this is that this is right-wing. I’ll go ahead and say what all of you are too ignorant or cowardly to say:

    Democrats are not your friend.

    Republicans are not your friend.

    If you’re sitting here like a 12-year-old generating your endorphins from a “Yeah! The enemy is so stupid and we’re the best!” mentality—and that’s most if not every single one of you—you’re doing it wrong and you’re making it worse. You’re the problem.

    And Joe Rogan, in this case—not to diminish the culpability of Trump—is absolutely right, but you’re all too emotionally stunted to be able to admit it. Get off your infantile, misguided high horse. Standing up for liberal and progressive values is cool, but the current Democratic party does not stand up for those values. Perversely—and it blows mind to say this and to see so many people remain willfully blind to it—the Republican party is currently more liberal then the Democrats. It may only be because standing up against censorship happens to benefit them, but call a spade a spade. Stop being such a bunch of incredibly gullible fucks and look upon the rot growing at the highest echelons of our government. It’s not partisan, but its most insidious tactic is pretending to be.

    Here’s a conciliatory piece of advice to follow, a general rule of thumb that nevertheless works out to be pretty much 100% accurate: everything that Democrats accuse Republicans of is true; AND, everything Republicans accuse Democrats of is true. It certainly is in this case. Trump did and said what he did, AND the FBI and CIA did what they’ve always done to advance the ruling party’s agenda for at least the last half a century. Hell, they fucking did it to Ukraine in 2014. It’s not contested information, just obscured history, which you’d know if you’d only paid attention to what they didn’t teach you in history class.

    On an unrelated note I will say that it’s refreshing to be able to write a comment that will likely get buried a thousand feet deep and not give a fuck. Go ahead and do your worst, but I hope Lemmy can be a different place and that you’ll do your best to listen to a well-meaning alternative perspective (excuse the language).
