    How much exactly do you think Joe Rogan knows about the government of Canada? Pretty sure it’s around fuck all. He’s just a propagandist for the fascist regime at this point.

      What’s crazy is how outright pro-Trump pilled the Canadian right was until about three months ago when Trump took office. You had the Conservative party outright bragging about being Pro-Trump, Trudeau floundering in the polls because of his criticisms of the Trump leadership team, and big oil-exporting states absolutely glowing at the prospect of a climate denialist government joining hands with them in the next election.

      Then Trump took office and started threatening sanctions, he started accusing Canadians of exporting fentanyl, and he started making vague threats aimed at Canadian territory. Public sentiment turned on a dime. The Conservative Party crashed in the polls. Trudeau’s liberals surged. Canadian media and politics turned incredibly hostile towards anyone Trump affiliated.

      And now guys like Rogan are just catching strays for being Trump adjacent. He doesn’t know anything about Canada. He just knows his (increasingly former) Canadian base is suddenly calling him all the slurs they’d historically reserved for his left-wing guests.

        I recall shortly back a lot of us Canadians talked about leaving the monarch, but we seem to have gotten over that in a hurry also. 😉

        People’s opinions change very quick now.

          I think it’s just the propaganda machine being efficient. All the major social media platforms are owned by billionaires (except blue sky but not sure there’s nearly as many users compared to twit/meta/reddit) and they’re manipulated to push the interests of the elites.

      Joe Rogan became convinced Trudeau was a dictator because of COVID restrictions.

      Like they say aboht him, knowledge a mile wide, and only an inch deep. He has been defending women beaters, rapists and anti intellectualism before he became an actual tool of the new regime.

      Most of it will come from Jordan Peterson with his twisted, drug addled take. I think it goes back to his News Radio days from Dave Foley’s horror stories about his divorce however many decades ago that was. You just know Rogan’s wife is locked into an iron clad contract. Don’t nobody mess with Joe’s roll.

        Definitely got it from Peterson. Rogan has called Canada “communist” and claimed that people are being imprisoned here for posting criticism of “wokeness” on the Internet. Both of those claims echo Peterson’s idiocy, but the second one in particular is pretty much guaranteed to be straight from his mouth as it’s the exact “compelled speech” bullshit that earned him much of his early notoriety and, as far as I know, hasn’t really picked up traction with other alt-reich talking heads.

        Foley got fucked hard in his divorce. Thankfully he ended up getting back together with that ex after his coma. He was out long enough to get over his alcoholism which was the driving factor in his dovorce.

              I think if times were shaping up to be different, I would completely agree with you.

              However, it seems like the US is gearing up to start a global conflict the likes of which we haven’t seen for almost 100 years. There is slim opportunity, now, to maybe stop it. Or at least buy whom I would consider to be the allies of a free, open, and democratic society time to prepare a bit further.

              What this means to me is to not worry so much about how others choose to gate keep or endorse whatever it is you have to offer. To me it means all options are on the table, including flipping the table over. If all you can do is a little, do a little. If what you can do is much more, then do much more. But the gatekeeping, the “Why are you doing X, you should be doing Y” from people who are doing neither…

              I know how these things shape up, in my limited and poor experience. It takes a village. It takes many parts.

    Joe Rogan Experience in a nutshell:

    Guest: batshit insane shit

    Rogan: uh huh, oh wow, that’s crazy, never thought of it like that

    Rogan: also like, here’s my thoughts bro (insert popular opinion here)

    Guest: continues batshit insane shit that contradicts that expressed opinion

    Rogan: I totally agree.

        Seriously man, I hate hearing: But He’s had Bernie on!!

        yes, a left-winger on a handful of times and basically inundated with right-wing propaganda on the other hand.

        That’s like saying Fox News isn’t right-wing propaganda because they’ve had Jon Stewart and Michael Moore on.

      I’m confident he knew he was going to be booed by the crowd if he did come. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if it wasn’t even his decision. UFC probably realized he’d be booed and that would look bad for their broadcast. They could well have informed him that he wasn’t coming, but allowed him to pretend it was his decision.

    Rogan is such a little cuck. I bet he dreams about getting tag teamed by Donald and Elon. He wants those orange fat rolls and Donald’s diaper / shit / talcum-powder smelling flaccid cock ramming him in the face while Elon grinds into him from behind with his cybertruck body and broken, malfunctioning penis.

    Americans in general are such cowardly little bootlickers. They show off their big trucks and guns and pretend to be baddy “alpha males” then they get on the knees for Israel and Russia or any kind of genocidal regime that shows themselves to be in same league of sadism, decadence, and buffoonery.
