Credulous is the word.

Under the guise of objectivity he gives all fringe opinions equal significance.

Edit: here’s a good explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZAQYI_hYp0

I’m okay with skeptical and verifying but he doesn’t challenge all his guests equally. I’m not saying he should be perfect, but there are some really far out ideas that need more questioning before I’m personally satisfied.

he is a cunt, literally lied about how he heard they are putting cat litter into classes so that kids eho identify as cats have somewhere to go, then when called out on it that it’s bullshit he just said it’s a joke or something.

the real reason litter was being put into classes was so that if a school shooting happens kids have somewhere to go and it doesn’t go everywhere

it’s covered in Some more News’ Moral panic video

Do Americans not realize how fucked up their country sounds to the rest of us when they do this kind of shit instead of controlling you-know-what?

With his alt-right views, Joe Rogan has essentially become Rush Limbaugh with a traumatic brain injury.

I believe that as much as the original claim.

His show is entertainment first and foremost. That means glorifying stupid bullshit for the entertainment value of it.

Most hard science is boring. Most fringe theory thinking is dramatic and thrilling.

Hard science can be the most wonderful things you ever heard about. You merely need someone to explains it right.

I would rather someone excitedly tell me about how gravitational lensing is usedto view a black hole over listening to some fuckwit go on about how there is an Ice wall around the flat earth patrolled by Navies to prevent the truth that Nasa faked Australia coming out.

I will also say it’s 2023, some things are past even being sceptical about.

If you bring on a flatearther you aren’t being sceptical, you’re a moron.

And that’s fine, if you understand that these are wack jobs who shouldn’t be taken seriously. Most of Rogan’s listeners definitely don’t

Well, that’s just bullshit.

We’ve been seeing the destructive power of the media legitimizing unsupported ideas. Fox News, Info Wars, and other outlets are what led to things like January 6th. So seeing someone like Rogan, who has a giant fan base and a popular show that gives credence to wildly inaccurate information pisses off a lot of us. I complain about it because it makes me angry, not because doing so makes me feel superior.

If you told Joe that Apple own a warehouse full of genetically altered chickens that actually laid iPhones he’d stare at you, slack-jawed and wonder why this hasn’t been reported in the press. Just a fucking clown from his toes to his eyelashes.

How did you find out about the iChickens? That’s a trade secret.

ahem I think you’ll find they are called iHens, actually. Each one has been spliced with Jobs’ DNA, so instead of clucking they constantly say ‘boom’.

Pure, unfiltered and undiluted clown. It is so potent it acts like a reserve when the rest of the body needs to be replenished.

Joe is, in all actuality, a clown camel.

The apotheosis of what a dumb guy thinks a smart guy sounds like.

The manifested avatar of a crowd of drunk college kids having an uninformed debate.

The patron saint of mansplaining.

From my knowledge of them (which is sadly non-zero), I think Ben Shapiro fits the first description better.

my favorite Shabibo moment was when he had a “debate” with a famous Tory broadcaster in the UK and got dunked on so hard he called him a leftist.

He was promoting a book about how the left is quick to anger and intolerant at the time to boot, but of course his go to insult was to call someone a leftist.
