How so? To me Joe Rogan doesn’t appear to be a fascist. Genuinely curious how people can think Joe Rogan is a fascist.

Joe Rogan legitimized fascism by hosting fascists. Whether or not he himself is fascist, he did not push back against them while interviewing them.

Hes a fascist because he's bad at interviewing his guests? Interesting take

From article: ads are also running on: HBO Max, X, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, LinkedIn and Meta, as well as cable television channels. And what choice do these platforms really have? They either run ice ads, or risk getting on the bad side on the administration.

So? Risk it. Make a (very small) stand. We're talking companies that are almost monopolies or at the very least duopolies.

I agree on principle, while at the same time I'm fairly sure the common employees at these respective companies are probably thankful that their job security is not impacted by their employer taking a (very small) stand.

He invites fascists to be on his program.

The best time to quit Spotify was years ago when they gave Joe Rogan a huge paycheck. The next best time is now.

Honestly I don’t get the Joe Rogan hate. Seems like a pretty normal person to me, flaws and all.

he hosted anti-trans guests that normalized trans hate

Historical equivalent.

1940’s Germany: Run the trains to the camps, or bad things will happen to you.

Sometimes you should say no. We’ve ceded power to corporations in the society so that they are essentially the most powerful thing next to the government. (potentially more powerful than the government in some cases) if they are not willing to say no, that is a problem

Such as?

I'm not going to give you a snarky Google "Joe Rogan anti trans", so here (and she wasn't the only one) ...

Shrier wrote a well-researched book that is critical of a cultish ideology affecting teenage girls. A very interesting guest for Rogan to interview.

Her book is favorably reviewed here: https://www.economist.com/united-states/2020/11/26/a-book-on...

Though I can see why people also in adherence to this ideology may not enjoy it being subjected to scrutiny. Kind of like Scientologists in that regard, or any other cult.
