Joe Rogan defends Gavin McInnes
- Thread starter BWoog
- Start date
Would they even reach a conclusion? I'll be like dividing zero in to itself.
He is by association. His actions have consequences and he knows what he's doing.
And the receipts don't stop there. He's a certifiable alt-right figurehead, it blows my mind anyone still thinks otherwise. He's only going to become more blatant about it as time goes on.
Yep, and that's what makes his podcast at times so entertaining and at times so frustrating. I listened to his interview with Nick Kroll recently where all of a sudden he went off on a tangent about ANTIFA (who I agree are assholes)...while talking about comedy in Oregon. It was obvious that it made Nick uncomfortable. Joe also refers to Trump followers as "MAGA Morons". He also still talks really respectfully about Louis. I get the impression he just loves to troll people, which is most likely why he gets the responses that he does.
The early podcasts where great, when he fucked around with his friends.
But I'm not listening anymore. He can go fuck himself.
And it's kind of obvious that he wishes he was a good comedian, the only reason other comedians hang around him is his podcast.

Joe Rogan isn't alt right.
But the alt right sure love Rogan.
And Rogan sure seems to love them given the fact he has given them a platform for going on half a decade.
Rogan is trash.

If you both sides as much as he does you do stand for something: the normalization of the far-right.
How much support do you need to give to the alt-right before you become the alt-right?
Probably works the same way racism works. You're not one unless you make a public declaration you are one. It doesn't matter if you vote for it, encourage or enable it. You have to believe you are one for it to count.
At least smart enough not to include BLM I suppose, unlike the recent politician that said they are all bad, White Supremacists, Antifa, and BLM.
Yeah my connection is bad here so i cant see it. But he never came over to me as a racist dude, like, at all.
He sure loves holding shields in front of some awful racist people tho, while saying the antifa people started it.
Sorry, let me correct that, then.
The title of the thread, apparently?
You can't see the OP title?
He isn't an overt racist, his racism is in the "both sides" normalization of the far-right, and his constant support of alt-right figure heads.
Well, to be honest, he has been stanning for racists and alt-right fucks for years... Can't understand how you haven't seen that.
Members of Antifa beat the shit out of a guy on the left because he refused to put down an American flag. He was on the left and proudly wanted to make a statement that he intended to take America back from the MAGA idiots, and that was too much for the members of Antifa who beat the shit outa him. Fuck them. That you see it as "both sides"ing it utterly moronic.
Pretty much.
This guy seems to invite whoever on his show to shoot the shit. I never really got why he was so popular. Now i really dont giving gavin mcginnes any quarter. isnt the FBI looking at his proud boys group?
Yes because they were responding to this exact situation and this isn't just an example of you holding a "gotcha" moment in your pocket.
I watch his channel when he is interesting guests.. never heared anything remotely racist from him, he always comes up like a wise guy to me with an open-mind
You want cliffnotes? ok here's what rogan's "line of thinking" is:
*Gavin McInnes started the Proud Boys as a joke about not masturbating. His failure to leave it once it became a full blown racist terrorist organization is only briefly mentioned, and only framed as a good PR move for him.
*Gavin McInnes is half playacting, half expressing a truly held belief about intolerance on the left for "not PC" statements that McInnes loves to make.
*"You can't control everyone in a growing group" As the proud boys grew it became a shelter for horrible actors. McInness egged them on by telling them to punch antifa in the face sure, but somehow he's still not personally responsible for the violence, the Antifa started it. Nobody from the antifa is given similar benefit of the doubt here, only 'some' of the antifa demonstrate peacefully, against whatever it is they're protesting. rogan makes zero mention of the rising cover given to fascist beliefs or the fact that McInnes was excusing the increasing use of actual, fascist imagery amongst his group's public appearances.
*Apparently being accused of being a racist for gathering with racists, supporting racist beliefs and hollering racist slurs all the time is an awful thing. For Gavin.
*People should just let it blow over, Gavin's a good guy, he's hilarious, but they won't get over it because of some mysterious, unidentified reason that Joe just can't seem to grasp.
This guy is literally on a watch list for being apart of a group that incites right wing violence in the streets
It's your call, but you can't say you don't know what you're supporting now at least
OP
OP
Sorry, I forgot that Antifa is a totally unified group that decided to carry out a targeted strike against this man, which makes it apparent that the entirety of the people against fascism are assholes. Whoops!
And that's what makes them shitty. How do you no grasp that? Simply being against fascism doesn't give them a pass for being absolute assholes to anyone who doesn't believe in exactly what they believe. They're not pro-Left. They're pro anarchy. It's OK to be on the left and think ANTIFA are shitheads. Because they are.
question, does "antifa" on a large scale support violence? What is their belief system? When i ask different people i get different answers, and so i don't really have much to really say about them when they are brought up.
He doesn't care about normalization. I think he cares about profiting off of it, which again, is worse. Not that there's a functional difference in the effect of that on society, just that this is easy enough to do when you've got everybody's attention with no skin in the game.
Notice that nobody makes a thread here when he's interviewing feminist comedians or Neil Tyson on his show.
I don't know who these people are or what they are about, so what's the problem? Checkmate, Resetera.
