Current Events > Is Jim Rogan actually alternative right?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I see a lot of people on this board call him that

Yeah. His brother Joe isn't tho

Uh, that would be something someone self identifies as, and he will never identify as anything for obvious reasons

Assuming this is bait and you mean Joe anyway

yes, Jim Rogan is indeed alternative right

This is refreshing to see. I'm so irritable by everyone shoving everyone into boxes just cause they disagree with some things. It's one the main reasons I feel uncomfortable associating with any people with strong political beliefs.

Alt-righter who gave Bernie a platform in a despicable attempt to muddy the primary waters.

You know it would be impossible for someone in the role of Joe Rogan to exist without people applying imaginary intentions. That can't exist in our current world. No matter who it was, there would be people projecting intentions that weren't there.

Did Biden say "If you don't vote for me, you ain't black" as an attempt to muddy his own waters?

Not everything is an elaborate scheme. Sonetimes people are just sloppy and careless. You can argue Joe Rogan's carelessness is dangerous and it would be much more productive conversation than conspiracy theories

Fairly certain he was joking.

Lol. Alright.

I just think he has some badly wrong and incorrect policy and social ideas.

He's also conspiratorial which is a trait I dislike

Jingleheimer-Schmidt Rogan

He went from supporting Bernie to Desantis

It doesn't have to be only a self identified label.

People who believe he's not alt right are the same who believe Gabbard is a leftist

They're probably more so saying for people like Joe Rogan and not KKK members and what not. That's how I took it. People who can't have in depth conversation cause they're pretending they're the same thing

Sure, someone can be explicitly alt right and be a clown and say otherwise. Is that what you're getting at?

The problem with that for Rogan is that he at least considers other views, and even has other views altogether. Someone who was alt right wouldn't do that... and if they did they wouldn't be entirely alt right because they have different opinions from the ideology.

Don't just say something and not explain it.

It's also possible to define a self applied label, that is not contradictory? If it was it wouldn't be a label

Yes

who cares if he's alt-right or not?

I care because people like him wants a few of my friends and my girlfriend dead or deported since they're non white

Well it seemed like that's what you were getting at since you're objection was just "He wouldn't call himself one".

For the record, I don't actually think Joe Rogan is "alt-right" though I do think he platforms and gives "equal weight" to people who are, which is just as bad for the purposes of spreading their message since he gives very little pushback to these people when he has them on as guests. But I think this paragraph is essentially claiming "no true alt right-y". Just like you don't stop being conservative because you are "conservative but you support gay marriage", if you're generally pushing reactionary viewpoints that are anti-trans, anti-vaccine, pushing toxic masculinity and the (white) male identity, you're alt right.

Also as far as "being open" to other viewpoints, being open to medical experts and being open to vaccine conspiracy theorists tends to mean that you're more in the latter camp than the former.

Are you thinking of Josh Brogan?

I meant he identifies as nothing and just goes to whatever he wants because yo commit to one ideology would exclude some of his fans. Maybe he has identified as something, I wouldn't be shocked if he called himself a centrist I guess

I don't think he is even close to alt right to be honest.

Sorry I didn't see the rest of your post
