An important reminder is that Kimmel's monologue did not say anything slightly negative about Charlie Kirk's demonic zionazi and replacement theorgy genocidal supremacism. He only made fun of Trump for interviews in which he was asked about any sympathy he had for his dead dear friend, getting deflect-weaved into "we're building the bestest ballroom in the white house now".
I miss when this guy just hosted a funny show that made people eat bugs for money.
Yes, he was much more tolerable and even likeable when he was mostly just the Fear Factor guy.
I like to pretend that his career ended with News Radio.
I like to imagine an alternate time line where he befriended Andy Dick and died instead of Phil Hartman.
Joe has always been good at knowing which side of the fence to temporarily come off of.
He's always one DMT hit from emptying his brains out on the floor and fishing for a different opinion.
Hey don’t bring DMT into this man
Fuck you Joe
They always have been you fucking idiot, even when you became more like them.
Joe Rogan is a drug-addled moron. Do not listen or engage with anything he says, even if you feel like you agree.
You got it all wrong. He's not drug addicted. He's brain damaged from his mma days. Apparently brain damage leads to conservative thoughts. Look at Fetterman.
There's a talk show video out there where the host is conservative (it's well known I just can't remember the name). Some guy is on the phone talking about how he's seen the light of the GOP and the host asks what changed, and he says he got kicked in the head by a horse.
The host looks a little shocked and says something like, okay moving on.
It's not really that we agree with him. It's that his listeners get really annoying and this may help to settle them down about this.
Nah, that would be when Ted Cruz made similar comments the other day.
Only because they are worried the next government will turn on them.
Well, not just that. They derive a great deal of success from ranting against the 'liberal agenda'. If all the vaguely left leaning voices are obviously silenced, then their own engagement goes down because there's no opposition voice to rant against. As ridiculous they look on a normal day, they look just utterly beyond crazy in a scenario where everyone but them are essentially gagged.
Obligatory fuck the unfunny Joe Rogan who ushered this fascist back in.
Careful Joe. That's sounding dangerously unconservative, and you know what the crazy conservative gun people do to those conservative voices that aren't conservative enough for them.
I wonder if Rogan realizes that he's part of the reason we've ended up here?
About as much as a child who shit their pants and then points at another kid saying they smell like shit.
Didn't he defend comedians who were getting cancelled for jokes by the left too, like Chappel? What's the surprise here? Ideological consistency does seem rare these days and "doing one thing while bitching when that same thing is done to you" is quite en vogue, and nobody acknowledges that the systems we put in place to control our opposition will be turned on us the instant they have a chance, but this (defending kimmel for jokes regardless of the politics) seems in line with what Rogan has always said afaik.
He helped enable the rise of the Alt Right by giving them serious air time.
Also, Dave Chappelle never got "cancelled". He's still getting Netflix specials and still booking shows. For some reason, people will pay him to call them poor.
Having people write critical articles about someone isn't the same as getting "cancelled".
You.. you made the crazy Joe.
also if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend this: How Comedy Was Destroyed by an Anti-Reality Doomsday Cult
You think so, Joe? You think the fascists might be crazy?
fuck this grift. this dude did more propoganda minutes for Maga than Charlie did, he doesn't give af about free speech beyond crying about how "censored" he is into the world's largest microphone
He said that if such interference were really happening and conservatives were supporting such behavior they were “crazy” because eventually they themselves would be the target of such censorship
What's really wild is that his biggest concern is that the people doing the fascist thing could become the target of it later. There's no dawning of 'oh maybe the people doing this aren't so good' no, he's worried that the other people who have been warning that they are fascists might pursue them later with the fascist precedent they are putting in place.
Not necessarily. It's called arguing a conclusion to your audience in terms of premises they'll accept & understand.
The conclusion is "censorship is dangerous". The premise "fascists are pieces of shit" doesn't support that. That's a separate argument entirely.
Moreover, fascists are unlikely to accept that premise. Arguing that is a great way to make fascists stop listening, which people who don't know how to argue excel at.
Joe should be much more afraid of the next Groyper aiming for him. Conveniently located in Texas.
Joe is just what happens when an anti-establishment nut becomes the establishment.
"Oh no! The fascists I supported are being fascists!"
Really kept his head down for a few days first huh?
Well, no he didn't. Not really. I haven't heard it (and don't intend to) but according to the quotes in this article he didn't do that at all.
“The problem is the companies, if they are being pressured by the government – so if that’s real – and if people on the right are like ‘yeah, go get ’em,’ oh my God, you’re crazy. You’re crazy for supporting this because this will be used on you,” he said.
If, if, if. Wouldn't want to risk upsetting anyone would you?
Fucking dopes all of them. Joe Rogan and all his cocksucking fans. Fucking dipshits the lot of them.
