Joe Rogan is now alt right? That is a quixotic ambition. Let the fools make fools of themselves. When there are stupid ideas proposed in the podcast, I just laugh at it or talk to somebody about it.

As an example, I listened to one of those white supremacy former academics, can’t remember who, and he quips midway through the lecture that Western society developed faster because... we are unique in having a sense of shame. I kid you not. It doesn’t take a neurosurgeon to detect bullshit.

Rogan talks to interesting guests all the time, if you label him adversarial, you will have rejected a lot of people.

Didn't say he was alt right, but he doesn't use his massive platform responsibly. There's a difference between interviewing a presidential candidate and interviewing a white supremacist.

Are you saying Joe interviewed a white supremacist? Who?

What is wrong with that? He did the same with Sanders and they were both interesting.

I mean there's the problem right there — you're talking about Bernie Sanders and Ben Shapiro as if they're two people equally deserving of equal space on an enormous platform of listeners.

Why are they not? Ben Shapiro is literally a standard conservative talking head who only now is seen as controversial because American politics is insane. And I'm pretty sure it's Rogan's choice who he wants to talk to. Policing that ruins the entire appeal of the podcast and just turns it into exactly what people were trying to get away from, i.e. heavily produced and filtered content on mainstream television such as late night talk shows or whatever

Well yes.. I don't see why not. He brings a lot of different crowd, I'm not an American so I don't care about your childish bipartisan politics, but him talking to candidates gave me a better overview than watching 48h of your news channels.
