Current Events > Joni Mitchell next to remove her music from Spotify over Joe Rogan

(+) Yeah! (+)

so just to be clear here you think 600-1400 is a worse trade off than tax payers subsidizing a child after birth?

whew lad, no one said conservatives were thinkers but damn.

People believing bullshit is fine, but being okay with people doing things in the name of the bullshit shouldn't be acceptable. I used to be under the impression that was a pretty normal thought process. But now someone could kick the shit out of you because someone they listen to on the Internet told them they should and the goddamn world will celebrate this "free speech".

"I don't believe punching someone in the face will hurt them."

"My religion believes in face punching".

"Not punching people is exactly what the politicians in power want me to do. That's how I knew your face definitely needed punching."

"Face punching cures lupus, but that's not a fact you'll hear from most Big Pharma doctors."

no one has ever heard of neil young or joni mitchell so who cares

Since you mentioned it, you can provide a specific example of what you're talking about. Also, I don't see how this is comparable to COVID or vaccine misinfo. One of these kills and the other gets an eyeroll.

Now that so many people have fallen for anti-vax rhetoric and didn't get vaxxed, we have new mutations that get exponentially more contagious. Don't forget about all the kids whose parents get radicalized against vaccines too.

Again, I don't believe that "dumb people" deserve to have their lives ruined. You seem really fixated on this idea that these people are "dumb" and therefore they are at fault and not the person/group who is deceiving them. Your characterization of a person who is swayed by misinformation is extremely narrow and flawed. Everyone is influenced by the media they consume without knowing it, but they tend to think they're not.

The third-person effect hypothesis predicts that people tend to perceive that mass media messages have a greater effect on others than on themselves, based on personal biases. The third-person effect manifests itself through an individual's overestimation of the effect of a mass communicated message on the generalized other, or an underestimation of the effect of a mass communicated message on themselves.

That is far from the only reason. We know from studies of covid-19 that obesity and overweightness increases risk of being sent to hospital (for covid-19) by around 50%. That is also a large reason why the US has been hit by covid-19 particularly hard. Fat people have worse immune systems.

What is the current vaccination rate in the US?

No one said it was the only reason. Why do you so immediately hop on a tangent when your point is shut down?

Just to be clear, I think irresponsible couples should pay for their own abortions. I don't want to shell out money because people don't take responsibility for their sex.

Misinformation is misinformation. The policy should be based on what it is, not what it can cause. Otherwise you can start some serious cherry picking.

And yes, I stand by that dumb people will always fail at life. That's their problem, not mine.

Also, please never use Wikipedia as a source

taken over by the left

No it's not all equally harmful. The problem is that it's harmful, not necessarily just that it's untrue.
Joe Rogan could be platforming guests that repeatedly lie about Michelle Obama's favorite flavor of soda. That would still be misinformation, but it's benign. It sounds like you have a fundamental misunderstanding about what the problem is here.

Then we have a difference in values. I care about people.

Dude, follow the citations.

lmao

Because my point wasn't shut down and you sir, are very aggressive. Calm down.

I have a fundemental minsunderstanding

Link directly to the sources instead.

Do you laugh that off?

Whats the realistic approach you have when that idealism doesnt pan out?

Hey, Joni, put it all behind you!

Good riddance, another talentless hack that is no longer clogging up my Spotify account. There will be only great music once all the woke trash leaves.

Imagine if all Canadian artists said it's either them or Rogan.

i do wish this stupid meathead and his podcast would fuck off for good so i dont have to hear about it anymore...

He's not really the reason you are hearing about it though.

Joe Rogan seems to be of the mind of "If you don't like my show, don't listen, that's fine."

I think he even has a policy against advertising his show. IIRC

The show existing is why it gets talked about, tho

That exact same thing also goes for abortions, but I never hear left wing feminists talking about the fact that every single abortion doesn't just affect themselves, but also the tax payers as every abortion costs between 600 and 1,400 USD (where I live) of tax money.

So once again, I see much hypocrisy from the left. For example, where I live, some vaccine sceptic people use the feminist slogan "my body, my choice". Feminists are then real quick to point out that it's not just about their own bodies, without realizing abortions do not just affect themselves, either.

I legitimately don't believe you don't honestly see the difference between directly targeting an individual and their personal safety and questioning scientific or medicinal consensus. So it seems really disingenuous that you keep reverting back to this.

If you really want to listen to Neil Young or Joni Mitchel, you can easily borrow CDs from your dad or LPs from your grandpa. Maybe even an 8-track tape or two. 70s musicians you already heard to death aren't really big influencers on streaming outlets.

Imagine if all Canadian artists said it's either them or Rogan.

Isn't it bad that Rogan is getting people who have trouble tying their shoes (his main audience) killed?

This website discusses Rogan a lot. What types of stuff does he say? Is it just misinformation about COVID and vaccines? I haven't heard a word from him since The Man Show.

The same people who speak proud and loud about tolerance are the most intolerant people on of them all. Maybe if left wing people got a shot of their own medicine, they would understand.
