mvmikeAnon talks about Joe Rogan
LazylazycatThey’re not wrong.
Nah they are wrong, Joe isn’t a dumb guy, he’s not doing what he’s doing because he’s some dumb meathead, he’s doing it for money, fame, and to finally be part of the in-groups, which means power, he finally has a president(Trump) that accepts him and hob knobs with him.
Joe has always been a cynical self serving libertarian type, if you went back and listened or watched some of his old standup comedy you would get a better idea of how far Rogan has fallen, he’s become a lot of what he hated. There was a time when people used to think that Joe would be the next George Carlin, now he’s just a more palatable and successful Alex Jones.
You’re reading way too much into it, his original stand up was never clever.
Who said it was clever? Joe didn’t do clever comedy Joe did angry and cynical observational and political comedy. I’m not trying to call him clever or smart at all, he just isn’t as dumb as the meathead everybody tries to make him out to be.
You said: “Joe isn’t a dumb guy”. So, he’s not dumb, or clever, he just is. Like a rock.
Why do you keep trying to put your words in my mouth? If that’s what I wanted to say I would have said it, but I didn’t. I get that you want me to see things how you want me to see things but I don’t, so how about just taking my words at face value?
Again, Joe isn’t dumb, he’s not being manipulated, and he absolutely knows who and what he’s inviting onto his show and what affect they will have both in the broader media and to his critics and fans, Joe is just being a greedy self serving fuckwad, and it’s working well for him so far.
You can underestimate your enemies on your own, but don’t try to force me to make the same mistake you’re making.
I just quoted you.
We disagree completely though, nothing about the way he presents himself suggests to me that this is calculated.
KazuyaDarklightYou can be “not dumb” and also not clever. Neither being average nor smart is the same as being clever.
