NomNomI listened to 170 hours of Joe Rogan’s podcast. Trust me, he hasn’t turned against Trump
circuitfarmerRogan is a great example of a few things:
-
The Dunning-Kruger effect
-
“I’m just asking questions” being used as an excuse to host an unbalanced number of individuals purporting one specific worldview
-
Toxic masculinity posing as intellectualism
He is extremely popular with one particular demographic. That demographic tends to share the toxic masculinity and the Dunning-Kruger-fueled belief that they can be experts at everything from the armchair.
“I’m just asking questions”
Glenn Beck was (is?) big on that one too.
“Is it possible that Hillary Clinton actually was running a pedophile ring out of a pizza parlor basement? I mean, I’m just asking questions here.”
