The Joe Rogan sub is in full meltdown mode right now

1  2021-04-29 by Corporal-Hicks

That sub has always had kindof a love/hate relationship with the podcast (unlike the sam harris sub). Bitching about the spotify deal was common, joking about his stature, etc.

But this week has caused the place to go into full civil war. All because he expressed some hesitation with the covid vaccine (which he ended up getting anyways??) and then WaPo reported that Fauci called him a stupid poo-poo head. So now the place is in full meltdown mode.

The doomers are flooding the sub to tell everyone how horrible you are for not getting the jab and how rogan is a stupid meany head.

The whole thing is absurd. All Joe does is express his dumb opinions on his podcast. Some of these rslurs need a literal warning before the podcast to say these are not facts. It's not the Joe Rogan News Corp and the extent of his fact checking is Jamie on his computer.

The others need to understand Joe isn't as influencial as they think. People watch his podcast for the guests. Joe is just a surrogate for the average rslur who watches and needs things explained in a caveman way.

Just play the "I'm kinda rslurred" Alex Jones clip before every episode

Lmao exactly.

And before every episode of Alex Jones' show they should have to play the most recent episode of Knowledge Fight, as a disclaimer.

Then we we'd get a new KF theme song every episode.

His comments arent even that controversial (ever though right before he said them he said they would cause a stir). He said he didnt think young, healthy people should worry about getting the vaccine and he wasnt going to be giving his young children the vaccine as they arent susceptible.

His comments arent even that controversial

Joe is a pretty good example of a centrist. Most of his comments are:

dumb opinion with zero knowledge behind it

Or

wow I didn't know that, that's crazy

Joe Rogan should simply bring up how Biden said to be skeptical of the vaccine when he was on the campaign trail.

oh god do you have a clip? I would love to spam that a bunch of places

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/biden-trump-coronavirus-vaccine/2020/09/16/2ffbea6a-f831-11ea-a275-1a2c2d36e1f1_story.html

Can't find any video, sadly. I dunno if there is one. Either way, if you do post, share results plz.

Ive struck gold

Hicks, if you have any delusion that you could meaningfully capitalize on a vein of gold, merely remember that the conquistadors struck platinum and threw it in the fucking ocean because they thought it was counterfeit silver.

No wonder they got their mayo card revoked.

Nothing quite captures the ephemeral nature of man than Spanish being the language for speaking to God and the language of exploited temp work in the span of half a millennia.

The Dagos had already had their mayo card revoked because of the Muslim conquest of much of Spain.

Where did they throw it?

There are records of it being thrown in the San Juan river and unknown places in the Atlantic. Platinum is actually named for its presumption as inferior silver. (Platas -> Platinos)

Why would they take it to sea, and not dump it first or use it as ballast? Asking for a friend.

The stuff that ended up in the ocean were counterfeit coins confiscated at harbors. Platinum was basically contraband lol.

Lmao and on the fucking Joe Rogan sub in question

He only said that because it was a tRUMP vaccine.

First debate! He said it at the first debate.

Kamala said the same thing.

Spam it everywhere, it's shocking to me how few people know about it.

They know. They just don’t care cause ernj man bad. It’s actually funny.

Typical anti vaxxers are one of two things. Granola and crystal worshipping hippie types, or anti government rightoid types.

How amazing would it have been if DDR was re-elected and the neoliberal and progressives stood in solidarity with granola-cels about the vaccine. While the anti government anti vaxxers line up to get it.

And that’s not even commenting on the possibility of opening things up with the vaccine.

How amazing would it have been if DDR was re-elected

tattlin on urself with this one, r*ghtoid

I know you have the attention span of an amoeba but maybe read the rest of that sentence

I know you

you don't know me bitch

Now that Chauvin got convicted, my hopes of Biden-era drama are gone. In theory Biden should be just as funny, but since all of media and social media is united in his corner we don't get any drama.

I want daddy back tbqhwyf

Don't worry the appeal/aquital will still allow for selective reparations.

Nah, the momentum is gone, nothing interesting will come out of that. I wanted it to hit 2020 levels.

But all the drama we're missing out on from DDR sperging for another four years!

that's true. blden has been boring so far

Imagine trusting anything DDR says anytime.

“ I’m not injecting my daughter with something to f—king virtue signal. I’m not doing that. If there’s something that she statistically has no risk from, I’m sorry I’m not doing any experiments on her.”

Nothing he said is incorrect tho. The vaccines are experimental because they’re not fully FDA approved. His kids are under 16, they have a bigger risk of dying from the flu than COVID.

Dude it's fucking insane to me. It's a virus that primarily spreads among adults, and the kids that get it, get it from adults. You get the fucking adults vaccinated, and the kids don't have to fucking worry about it. Then I see news reports everywhere "CDC LOOKING TO ALLOW KIDS 6 AND UP TO GET THE VACCINE!"

How about no?? Why?? Even if it is safe, why should they get it? Like unless your kid has some crazy pre-existing condition that puts them in high risk, otherwise, fuckno.

If you tell this to a Redditor they’ll respond that death isn’t the only thing to worry about. It’s been a year and there still is no compelling evidence that “LoNg CoViD” is different from any other post-viral symptoms.

Look at the covid long haulers sub. It’s a bunch of nerds who never even tested positive complaining about their “chronic fatigue syndrome.” Yeah, maybe if you didn’t eat like shit and play video games till 3 am every night you wouldn’t be so fucking tired

How about no?? Why?? Even if it is safe, why should they get it? Like unless your kid has some crazy pre-existing condition that puts them in high risk, otherwise, fuckno.

Children can still pass the disease along. Actually, kids are great vectors for disease too because they have no notion of personal space and don't like to wash their hands. That's why closing schools was the first thing they did. Having as many people as possible vaccinated won't let us eradicate the disease like we did smallpox, but it can prevent future outbreaks from spiraling out of control again in the future. When you vaccinate as many people as you can, you reduce the risk that it will spread between pockets of people who aren't vaccinated, either because of medical reasons or brain damage. The goal of vaccines isn't just to stop high risk people from dying, it's to reduce the spread of the disease between areas.

Actually, kids are great vectors for disease too because they have no notion of personal space and don't like to wash their hands.

Except "The science" has shown that this is not true with covid. Kids are AT LEAST half as likely to get the virus as adults, and are again half as likely to spread it. Literally the biggest vectors for transmission in the schools have been adult to adult, with outbreaks among kids super rare.

Household transmission investigations and population screening studies during periods when schools are open for in-person instruction likely provide the strongest methods to evaluate risk of infection in children relative to adults. Some studies using such methods have demonstrated infection rates in children similar to those observed in adults. Other evidence suggests that differences in susceptibility between children and adults is not entirely due to lack of testing because children are more likely to be asymptomatic or show mild symptoms.

Kids are still perfectly valid carriers of covid. I understand that you're some kind of stupid (I'm betting on rightoid or lolbertarian based on the combination of your science illiteracy and lack of hippieness), but at least try to think about it a bit.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-briefs/transmission_k_12_schools.html

Did you even bother to read what you linked?

I mean, it should be enough that you proved yourself wrong with your own article, but here is another article for you to not read, that will also prove you wrong.

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/we-now-know-how-much-children-spread-coronavirus

I'm not arguing that kids don't get it at lower rates or anything. I'm not stupid. I'm saying that they can still pass on anyways. You don't just fix a big hole in a boat and leave a small one unfixed just because it only let's water in at half the rate, which couldn't possibly cause a problem. That would be stupid. When you vaccinate, the goal is to vaccinate as many people as possible to minimize outbreaks. Why would you not completely remove the kid's risk of transmitting it and get them vaccinated. Sure we'll get the people who are at high risk first but when we have, we should vaccinate absolutely everyone that can get it.

Don't worry, it couldn't make your kids any more stupid than having your genes already did.

How about no?? Why??

$$$$$$$$$

Even if it is safe, why should they get it?

So they don't kill Grandma, you fucking mong.

Except grandma has the fucking vaccine, you fucking mong.

Except grandma is immunocompromised and can't get the vaccine, and it wouldn't work even if she could :^)

None of it is incorrect, but it's wrongthink and people are bored. Time for #angerytimes.

Even better, that quote is actually from his guest Dave Smith, whose daughter is 2. They're mad because he said he doesn't want to give his toddler an experimental, non-FDA approved vaccine.

The whole thing is absurd. All Joe does is express his dumb opinions on his podcast. Some of these rslurs need a literal warning before the podcast to say these are not facts. 

There's nothing absurd about this.

If you spend all of your free time on an echo chamber like Reddit and Twitter - which the average JRE viewer absolutely does - being bombarded with constant confirmation bias, you will lose the ability to distinguish opinions from facts.

average JRE viewer

aka rslur

I hate to victim blame but this is their own fault for being so "open minded" then getting stuck in an echo chamber.

Nah, I don't blame them.

Social media is designed to be addictive, and to do that they encourage the formation of echo chambers as much as possible.

IMO, we should treat it with the same kind of scrutiny we treat alcohol, tobacco, and porn with.

Yeh that's a good point but I still do a bit, maybe that's just me. It's not hard to browse r news then go to r conservative just to see what their take is out of curiosity.

Reddit has made it impossible for me to take anything at face value anymore. More so after the MAGA hat wearing kid debacle, NY hijab girl incident and Bussy Smollet.

The Chad MAGA Hatcel vs The Virgin Feathercel.

God that was beyond frustrating to watch in real time. Especially when there was a full hour long video posted that showed the God BHI-cels were the real issue. Media straight up lying. Also saying they were telling women to get r@ped or something like that when it wasn’t true.

Then Johnny Hatchet had to get his 15 minutes of fame on every network and just oozed neoliberal smugness without any of the pedigree to do so.

The kid was the only one involved that wasn’t a complete cumrag. I hope he’s been getting paid. I know his settlements are undisclosed but kid deserves every dollar.

It's insane they sacrificed a bunch of kids for the story, especially knowing they could have endangered some of those kids lives due to some crazy person overreacting. Compare that to when CNN played the victim and doxxed that random Redditor cause of that meme he made, their excuse was it might cause someome to attack them.

I once commented in some random post that there is no such thing as a news organisation, there are only news corporations and got I downvoted. It's disturbing how people can't see that "their side" is providing them with a specific type of good or service rather than honestly informing them.

IMO, we should treat it with the same kind of scrutiny we treat alcohol, tobacco, and porn with.

Lmao so in 2150 at best, fuck modern doctors, papers science and internet, trust your 3 millions years old primal instincts, start chasing naked that mammoth again 😎✌️

Proof : https://youtu.be/gCMzjJjuxQI

trust your 3 millions years old primal instincts, start chasing naked that mammoth again 😎✌️

I fucking want to, but my goddamn monke ancestors killed all the mammoths already 😔

God forbid a person on their show that is just people expressing opinions, express an opinion.

Half of the time it’s not even his own r slurred opinion, just his guests r slurred opinion at that.

The problem with his guests is he will bring on a full on crazy and then let them go on and on.

Yet not once does he ask "well, why do you think you're the only person in your field with this opinion" lol.

And since JRE viewers are literally the dumbest fuckers on the planet, they can't distinguish when he brought on a crazy person and when he brought on an actual expert in the field and their Alpha brain riddled thinking puts the two together lol

Yet not once does he ask "well, why do you think you're the only person in your field with this opinion" lol.

He doesn't have to. He's an average human, not a newscaster, and not an academic. If you listen to that show thinking you're supposed to get scholarly articles and peer-reviewed statements, then you're a bigger rslur than any guest he's ever had on.

Well, that's what his stupid viewers do though thats the thing haha

ITT: his stupid viewers

"i'm not stupid, but everyone else is, and we need to protect them"

Well yeah, you ever try to be a functional adult on alpha brain? These people need child safety locks on their internet browser.

And not just the kind that keep cats out of cabinets

Edit: ok what the fuck is with half of the people in the comments section anymore being stupidpol and redscarepod frequenters anymore... Do we need to build the wall again?

mayo nonsense

😴😴😴

im genuinely shocked that another person from stupidpol is coming in to defend the honor of the DMT Steroid Ape show.

absolutely shocked i say

[deleted]

You shouldn't under estimate his influence, I've noticed a lot of my manlet friends have been getting into hunting and psychedelic's in the past couple years. He's selling them snake oil that they can still be men

Yeh you have a good point he does appeal to a specific type of guy. What I was trying to convey is that no one would watch the JRE to hear Joe's thoughts on astrophysics but they would watch Brian Cox as a guest.

Maybe his guests give him enough clout, which makes him seem more wise by association to some people.

Yea if you want real, actual factual news, that’s what cable is for

umm, sweaty, expressing different opinions is really problematic and toxic an nobody should be allowed to trigger me like that.

I don't blame the encephalopathic druggie for acting like a fentanyl-American because that is who he is. The fact that he was able pivot his DMT-fueled ramblings into an actually viable income stream is something that should be celebrated, like the Kardashians.

The problem is the problem with all large fans groups, the media has become a replacement for a brain and personality. "Oh no, my man-idol said a thing I don't agree with so now I have to look critically at my won beliefs! I'm a millennial/zoomer incapable of independent thought someone make it stop!' Fuck Joe Rogan fans, they all deserve to be fed into a wood-chipper.

Acting as if you were better that fentanyl americans

Don’t project

I'm sowwy did I hurt your feewings with my meany words.

crlnge

I just don't understand how someone in current year can come out in defense of the fents.

I'm sowwy did I hurt your feewings with my meany words.

You're worse than fents. You're a redditor.

congrats you're also a redditor

How dare you

Bawgawd he has a family,. Too far sweaty.

Even if you get the jab, you still have to wear two masks unless you're outdoors and there is no one else around.

So what's the point?

Besides, every person who doesn't get the jab creates another screaming woman on local news.

Do your part to make things as dramatic as possible by discouraging people from getting vaccinated. Soon they'll start going bad and everything will get hilarious.

Vaccinated people are asymptomatic spreaders, the most evil of all the ytes

Is there even any evidence for this?

Ask yourself what the vaccine does and doesn't do. I'm not here to educate you sweaty

Just tryna "follow the science" bruhsky

Shut up already. It's SCIENCE

I believe science

  • Emily, 21, they/them, #ACAB, Meat is Murder, women & gender studies major

Some do, I believe they're called leaky vaccines if that helps your searches.

Given they're continuing to insist the vaccinated wear masks and distance, we can assume this is such a vaccine. There would be no other reason to continue to do that stuff otherwise, outside of crazy conspiracy theories.

Yeah but where is the data for that? Where is the science? They don't even have very conclusive evidence that asymptomatic nonvaccinated people spread it all that much, let alone vaccinated ones.

I don't know, google it? Data on the vaccines is very sparse in general. They don't even know enough to give them regular FDA approval, they just cleared them for emergency use.

I heard they turn you into an fslur.

First the frogs, now the covards 😩

Wait which fslur? Because I'm already one fslur, but not the other one.

The other one.

Fuck

Do you know what percentage of scientists are for a Covid-19(84) vaccine being administered by force to everyone?

I'm guessing it's about 80%, but I could be way off.

When scientists start consistently creating things besides apps and genders I might start caring what they think.

Perhaps you took my comment the wrong way. I think even 20% is massive and hence discussion in that direction does not deserve to be censored by Reddit, Facebook and co.

I still want that number.

Ah, well then, good point.

I became anti-vax on the internet once I saw the reactions it gets out of people. I got both my doses back in February/March but there is nothing better then seeing reactions from the terminally online after claiming you're not getting the vaccine because you don't want to deal with the side effects. Even better throw in that you live with your elderly parents and aren't worried since you only meet with people once or twice a week.

Yep. And of all the people to dunk on, they're some of the most smug so it's so much more enjoyable to fuck with them.

The smugness also makes it easier because they fetishize science they don't understand at all, so you only have to prove them technically wrong on some little aspect to really dig under their skin. They can't admit they didn't know something so they start to get agitated fast.

I mean that's the point of getting vaccinated. The sooner the majority of people are vaccinated the sooner we can get rid of the fucking masks and fully open shit up. I honestly don't get why people who want shit open are the ones whining about the vaccine instead of the neets where wearing a mask to pay the delivery guy is the only change in their life style.

We COULD open AND have no masks. Amazing. The sickly and olds can do what comes naturally, either die or crawl under the porch and avoid human contact. I fail to see the problem.

Preach the truth. Why didn't we close down when the gays were dropping dead of AIDS? It's roughly the same percentages of the Covictims at this point.

Biden would have made bussy illegal 😔

Think of all the lives we could have saved by closing down the gay clubs and state-enforced chastity belts.

Do they make poop chute chastity belts🤔 Do the gays even have hips🤔

They're demanding universal vaccination to open up, not just a majority. That's never going to happen, and there is no incentive to play along.

We don't need everyone to get vaccinated to open up. Closing down accomplished nothing in relation to covid and staying closed is accomplishing nothing now.

Besides, its been revealed this is going to be a yearly vaccine like the flu shot. We're all eventually getting covid just like we've all had the flu.

The sooner the majority of people are vaccinated the sooner we can get rid of the fucking masks and fully open shit up

Or we could just follow Florida and Texas and just open up anyway. They're doing much better than my lockdown state.

All the cities are imposing their own local shit anyways. Who gives a fuck if you can go see a movie in a 2 screen theater or single a baseball.

I was just in St. Petersburg, which has a county mask mandate. While the mandate is there, no one actually gives a shit or follows the rules outside of big box stores. Hell even at Tropicana field, as soon as you were in your seat, no one had masks on.

I mean it's the trop fans there have been observing social distancing since the team was founded

Yeah, as a Tigers fan, I feel our 25% capacity rule isn't needed currently.

Its taken how many years for people to figure out that Joe is a complete idiot? Man only knows about weed, dmt, chimps, and mma.

[deleted]

I think some of his podcasts are interesting and he does get some really good guests. It can be great to listen to while working an 8-5 buzzin off the amphetamines the Good Government gave me, but unfortunately after about 30 minutes of the podcasts it just seems like they talk about the same thing for the next 3 hours. Also joe rogan is bald, which is good for me.

All because he expressed some hesitation with the covid vaccine

I fucking hate doomers.

Like I got the shot. I’m a Pfizer Chad. However I don’t blame a single fucking sould for wanting to wait on this one until more is known and FDA approves it. I mean, they pulled J&J, I’m assuming, to see if there’s a pre-existing variable related to the clots.

Why are these fucks all about body autonomy for women but won’t offer the same respect to people regarding a relatively new vaccine for a relatively new virus (inb4 we’ve been researching coronavirus vaccines since SARS, yes I’m aware dumbass). I just can’t fault anyone for wanting to wait on this one.

What a lot of people dont know is they have been trying to get a coronavirus vaccine approved since the early 2000's but they cant get them out of the animal trials because too many of the subjects die.

Like I got the shot. I’m a Pfizer Chad.

are you fat

Currently yes. However I hit the tipping point a few weeks ago and hopped back on the diet and got back to the gym. So I do not plan to be fat by MDW when shit gets blown wide open for the summer.

I’ve always yo-yo’d a little tbh and the last 6 months I’ve not been well just acting like a hambeast, mostly drinking that’s my biggest vice. But In March I finally said ok fuck it, lockdowns ending soon time to get back to normal. I am down 15 lbs and have another 20-25 to go.

Do you think whichever state you live in will be open for the Summer? I can totally see Oregon being in lockdown till 2024 at this rate.

Who knows. It’s NJ so it’s blue through and through. But last summer old horse face threw us a bone I guess to try and trap some of that summer vacation revenue from surrounding areas.

I don’t give a fuck though. I got my Fauci Ouchie and I’m going to do what the fuck I want. What’s the point of getting the vaccine if shit isn’t going back to normal?

You can get two free weeks of beach body streaming right now. It's nice to have the variety.

The irony the other way now is it's the anti-governmentoids whining "but muh FDA approval" as if they weren't calling for the three letter agency's abolition 2 years ago.

Trust your corporate overlords more than the feds or don't; at least be fucking consistent.

Oh I agree there’s lots of hypocrisy both ways regarding that shit. Even my statement can be flipped that roghtoids want body autonomy for this but not other things.

I just miss DDR and his drama. Shits been a little boring with the media throwing DDD a bone over almost anything controversial so gotta dunk on lefties when I can.

DDD and his consequences have been a disaster for argh drama

Like I got the (Pfizer) shot

ngmi

If that’s true it’s a win-win. Either I fucking die or I can do shit. It’s like a reverse Pascal’s wager and I see no downside.

This is arrg drama, take your well reasoned opinion and fuck off eh.

Dude I posted bussy on here within last 24 hours. Give me a fucking break. Lmao.

I like to think that everyone shitty on the Left is just a troll account created and maintained by Barron Trump, attempting to use his mammoth brain to make centrists vote Daddy 2020. Because if these people actually exist, and have these strange opinions that so many people supposedly might have, then I'll have to actually vote for Daddy, given he's the option most likely to put these fucking people in camps.

But I'm wise to you, Barron: you'll never actually make me vote.

Snapshots:

  1. The Joe Rogan sub is in full meltdo... - archive.org, archive.today*

I am just a simple bot, *not** a moderator of this subreddit* | bot subreddit | contact the maintainers

Holy shit, the whole sub is so-and-so is putting Joe Rogan "on blast," and all that stupid sensationalist stuff.

I don't even listen to Joe Rogan regularly, and I already know I can't take him seriously. These fans are really something else.

That sub has always had kindof a love/hate relationship with the podcast

Always had the impression a bunch of leftoids invaded and stayed.

(unlike the sam harris sub)

You need to pull sam's cock out of their mouths to understand what those losers are saying.

There are lots of ways to tell if someone has no life and no perspective, and giving a shit about what Rogan says either way is one of the biggest tells.

The doomers are flooding the sub to tell everyone how horrible you are for not getting the jab and how rogan is a stupid meany meat head.

Where is the lie though

Not getting the jab is heroic.

Anti-vaxxies mad. Needle hurt arm, no like hurt.

My Hot take:

Joe Rogan is a dipshit and you are too if you listen to him.

Joe is a pretty cool guy.
