Yet you state he's got a "GOP agenda"? I don't believe you at all. Hes already contracted by Spotify, what you're spewing is more generic anti-Joe smearing that shows me that you never listened to him.

Yeah okay. Your Dave Chappelle comment proves you are arguing in bad faith. You know I’m right and that he’s a right wing grifter posing as a moderate, that’s why you’re strawmanning about me not “actually have ever listened to him.” I saw through him just as I easily see through you, I’m just upset it took me four years of listening to him everyday before it became obvious.

You only talk about politics, its so boring that you don't have any real talking points aside from regurgitating some complaints someone else had that you don't think up for by youself, and trying poorly to pretend you ever listened to the show. You used a talking point someone else made and haven't listened to him ever, why is that worth lying about when you can't name any episodes and just named politicians someone else listed to justify the conclusion you are pushing?

So what's the truth on the ground then on government control rn?

I don't really understand what you are asking exactly. It sounds like a question someone would ask about a war zone. The whole thing seems totally imagined to me, maybe fed by denial about the quality of the US response to covid. Trying to guess what that apparent US hysteria about Australia is based on — maybe it's because we had longer lockdowns/restrictions than most places, I think because there was hardly any co…

The will media covering large house parties because it is something that can easily get everyone outraged. People in the same poor situation hate seeing others break the rules or seeing unfairness. Meanwhile the extra long lockdowns can get ignored. There is only so much rage to go around.

I’ve named half a dozen episodes. Abi Martin, Tulsi Gabbard and Eric Weinstein are fake democrats he brought on to talk about how crazy the Democratic Party is. Jordan Peterson he brought on 4 times in 2017 alone to argue about the trans issue and “cultural Marxism” (he brought Ben Shapiro on to do the same.) I’m not doing this with you, you are arguing in bad faith because you know Joe has a right wing agenda. I don’t have to lie or copy what anyone else said because I listened to it first hand and for a time I (regretfully) actually fell for his “the democrats have gone crazy” routine. Joe Rogan painting Hilary Clinton as evil (he constantly brings up her paraphrasing Caesar at the death of Gadaffi) convinced me to vote for Johnson in the 2016 election. Like I said, I don’t know if he’s paid by a GOP/conservative organization but it’s awfully convenient for them that the largest podcast just happens to push an exact replica of their narrative.

Joe Rogan has built a massive business by being interesting and talking to people from all backgrounds, while having a very fascinating history himself. He may not be a nobel laureate but it's quite silly to think he's so dumb, or that others wouldn't find his conversations, topics and personality to be entertaining.

Average people find him entertaining. Others find him slow, inaccurate and petty.

Average people make up the masses.

People didn't like Hillary, its not a conspiracy. It cant be that pople don't like the mainstream Democrat politicians and he didn't see them as fitting guests, it must be a GOP conspiracy. He can't not agree with any non mainstream Democrat point without being part of a conspiracy of a GOP organization, but you ignore his love of UBI? What else did JP say during that podcast? You watched the whole thing and not just some clips someone used for an agenda didn't you?

Its interesting how little info you have aside from some political talking points and never have any in depth information about a podcast except for things that are found in talking points that are used in propaganda. You continue to demonstrate signs that you didn't listen it at all and only bring up talking points that are used in your statement like they were fed to you and you're just regurgitating them. Who are you trying to fool and for what reason?

The Amazon affiliate link stuffed with tracking at the end really makes the post.

Which affiliate link? https://www.amazon.com/Performance-Analysis-Tuning-Modern-CP... doesn't seem to be one to me, unless I missed something in the URL.

I really like the core idea here: media used to be a push model, social media turned it into a pull model but they're trying to wrest it back. I always hated the push model of social media, which is why most of the online content I consume is via rss, including Twitter [0]. But I never thought of traditional news media media as being a push model. It makes so much intuitive sense when you say it: the reason I read ne…

Push, pull doesnt matter at this stage. Netflix and YouTube and HN etc are neither, and look at the attention they capture. People think they can regain control. The majority wont. Their brains have been trained for decades now to chase clicks/upvotes/views/likes and followers as if these rules are Newtons Laws or something. Different parts of the brain now are totally fubar, as in once you have been writing with you…

What ridiculously pretentious old-person grandstanding. Let me guess--was the late 1990s the last stretch of some golden age where the youngsters of America were, for the most part, sophisticated, nuanced, intellectual critical thinkers? The glorious 1990s PlayStation and Nintendo games, network and cable television programming, popular rap and metal music, and print-magazine content of that time were something that people who were your current age then were seeing as insidious time-wasting garbage that was inarguably "fucking up" the minds of teenagers and 20-somethings. You've simply just fallen behind and gotten old; is the feature phone you carry with you a Nokia or a Motorola?

What is "will media"?

I was referring to one very large beach party I heard about, a year ago or so. I wouldn't say outrage, just mild frustration, enough to mention it once then forget about it. I haven't seen any covid-related rage or even anger in real life. Not sure where is this rage you're talking about. Everyone I've seen—friends, acquaintances, strangers in the street—seems extremely relaxed and patient about the situation.

I'm not sure what you're insinuating—that there's a conspiracy to manipulate people into accepting a lockdown when they shouldn't? Or something.

> Joe Rogan is also fantastic. Supporting a kook conspiracy peddler sort of kills his whole argument.

It doesn't. That's the point. He thinks he's fantastic. You don't. That's fine. You both have your separate feeds. Nobody rams Joe Rogan down your throat, and nobody forcibly takes him away from the OP.
