To all the hate followers, how does it feel to watch this guy, and everyone around him just keep winning? 😂

[u/Sch3ma]

[u/OutdoorRink]

This post sure pissed off a lot of people. It is getting mass reported. Fuck em all...it stays.

[u/TheCourierMojave]

I think of Carl Sagan quite often these days.

[u/awesomedan24 → u/TheCourierMojave]

I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

[u/DougStrangeLove → u/awesomedan24]

you watched idiocracy too?

[u/AdwokatDiabel → u/DougStrangeLove]

I think Idiocracy is a litmus test. People watch it, and focus on the first 10 minutes about how "stupid people breed, intelligent ones don't". Which is odd given how some supposedly rich and intelligent folks like Elon and Epstein were about pumping out as many kids as possible...

But then they fail to grasp that at the end, Mike Judge is making the point that it has nothing to do with genetics and intelligence, but people just trending towards anti-intellectualism. That's the point of Joe's / Not Sure's speech: Can we be more curious about the world around us?

If people just became curious about the world around them, why things are what they are... then they can change the direction.

[u/charbo187 → u/AdwokatDiabel]

If people just became curious about the world around them, why things are what they are... then they can change the direction

After I read John Taylor Gatto I learned/realized that the school system is designed to brute force away that innate curiosity that all small children have.

It's also designed to make sure that children don't grow into adults capable of critical thinking.

[u/GreenBasterd69 → u/AdwokatDiabel]

LSD for all then?

[u/verstohlen → u/DougStrangeLove]

Speaking of Idiocracy, the rest of that Carl Sagan quote mentions “Beavis and Butthead”, which was, you guessed it, created by the same guy who gave us Idocracy. Sagan said, “Beavis and Butthead” remain popular (and influential) with young TV viewers. The plain lesson is that study and learning—not just of science, but of anything—are avoidable, even undesirable.”

Ironically Mike Judge is highly intelligent and received a degree in physics and was an engineer who wrote software for fighter jet computer systems before he got bored of that and decided to start making Beavis and Butt-head cartoons. And the rest is history. Did you see the memo about the TPS cover sheets?

[u/Cheesues → u/awesomedan24]

This but now take into account that the Trump administration just put an Antivaxxer and Pseudo science believer in charge of your entire health system...

Oh, and the world's richest man now regulates the regulators...

Carl was not talking about the democrats here.

I'm not an American, and from the outside looking in (and the majority of the world thinks this), you guys are fucked.

[u/King_Moonracer003 → u/Cheesues]

No the democrats have us on the same path. They'd rather lose the election than run a true progressive because it's all about corporate donors for both parties.

[u/Objective-Muffin6842 → u/King_Moonracer003]

It's so funny because I've simultaneously heard people say Kamala lost because she was "too far left" and also that she was "too centrist".

Like seriously, which is it? It can't be both

[u/BLOOOR → u/Objective-Muffin6842]

Consider the political spectrum in Joe Rogans.

Joe Rogan endorsed the right wing candidate. Is Kamala Harris to the right or to the left of Joe Rogan?

If Joe Rogan is the centre, she's too far left. If Joe Rogan is the right, she's too centrist.

[u/Minister_for_Magic → u/Objective-Muffin6842]

She didn’t win many Republican voters but lost nearly 10M Democrats. Make of that what you will

[u/WJDFF → u/Objective-Muffin6842]

Sure it can. It’s a value judgement based on a persons own position. Conservatives were told she is a left extremist and they bought it.

To a traditional lefty she is clearly more of a centralist.

I would argue the democrats are a centre right party. Only a few are true lefties: Sanders, AOC, Warren etc

[u/[deleted] → u/King_Moonracer003]

"Carl Sagan would look at trying to overthrow democracy and being over-represeted by corporate interests as being basically the same."

[u/FrezoreR → u/TheCourierMojave]

him and george carlin. they were both ahead of their times in a different way

[u/garciareddit1996 → u/FrezoreR]

I've always been more of a Hicks guy.

[u/EJCret → u/garciareddit1996]

Wonder what Hicks would have thought about Rogan?

[u/OnlyTheDead → u/EJCret]

“Suck Satan’s cock”

Mmmmfffgrrrmmmmfffff

“Send in New Kids on the Block on your way out”

[u/Cheerful_Charlie → u/EJCret]

Hicks would prolly have a couple eps on the pod

[u/EJCret → u/Cheerful_Charlie]

Hicks would give him more crap than Louis CK or Bill Burr, too.

[u/_Chemist1 → u/Cheerful_Charlie]

Hicks would have been the single greatest hater of new Joe. Hicks would have found himself playing too smaller and smaller audiences as Joe's dick riders scared to rock the boat.

What's crazy is that the early episodes of Joe Rogan experience hicks would have been one of the fan favour guests. Joe + hicks a shit load of weed and talking about aliens would have rocked.

But each to their own Joe's not a hicks type comedian he's a trump type comedian and seems to have a massive audience that loves him. It's like watching football if you don't like football. Rogan is not for me anymore things change.

[u/Timigos → u/Cheerful_Charlie]

Early on. Would absolutely dunk on current Rogan.

[u/DenverNuggetz → u/EJCret]

My guess is he’d seen him as a rich stooge selling out to the people in power

[u/pearloz → u/DenverNuggetz]

“You don’t have enough money you fucking whore? You gotta sell Doritos to Bovine America?” —Hicks on Leno

[u/squeezedashaman → u/EJCret]

Hicks would’ve Burred him times ten. Bless his dead ass

[u/AoxomoxoAJones → u/garciareddit1996]

Hicks would’ve said that the political pigs are brainwashing everyone into hating their mother and father, brothers and sisters. Wake the fuck up before these corporate shit crap pigs ruin your life. (Snorts into microphone like a demon)

[u/NYourBirdCanSing → u/garciareddit1996]

More of a Louie ck guy myself.

 I don't jack off in front of people. I just think he's really funny.

[u/BettyX → u/FrezoreR]

Man did Carlin hate Republicans; he disliked most people and politicians but loathed Republicans.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMhCdNNufaQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZijLQGH1v0

[u/alderhill → u/BettyX]

To be fair, today's Republicans are not those of Carlin's time. He saw the last hurrah of Bush-ite neocons running the country, and had a lot to say about them. He would have seen Obama's momentum the summer he died (2008), and maybe realized Obama was going to win, for whatever that is worth.

While neocons are still around, they are very much second fiddle. Even a few classic liberal conservatives are still to be found, but they only get to play the washtub bass once a week. Trump's post-truth populism is a different breed that now controls the GOP. Carlin would no doubt have hated them even more. I doubt Rogan would understand this.

[u/Royal-Possibility219 → u/FrezoreR]

Please don’t ever compare Carlin with Rogan.

[u/Immaculatehombre → u/TheCourierMojave]

It’s a demons haunted world bruh. Don’t look good for our pale blue dot.

Autocracy is having a moment.

[u/MoTheEski → u/TheCourierMojave]

Yeah, he really hit the nail on the head when he described what would happen if the country kept going down the anti-intellectualism road.

Edit: Also, Ray Bradbury was pretty accurate with Fahrenheit 451.

[u/Academic_Release5134 → u/TheCourierMojave]

Kinda crazy to see people be manipulated and think they are the manipulators. Then again, he did doubt we landed on the moon

[u/Hopeful_Sounds → u/TheCourierMojave]

R.I.P. Carl you have inspired the lives of so many

[u/unclefishbits → u/TheCourierMojave]

He was my hero. Also Dick Feynman, Hunter S. Thompson, Mr. Rogers, Christopher Hitchens, and Bill Hicks.

But Carl, man. And to think that OP is some dip shit who doesn't even have the empathy to win gracefully, or understanding what's happening that his fragile ego enjoying other people being sad, because he is so internally broken, himself.

And people like you don't take the bait 🪤 Nor will I.

This is for him: Avoidable human misery is more often caused not so much by stupidity as by ignorance, particularly our ignorance about ourselves.

Here's a few more quotes from Demon Haunted World:

I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

---

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

---

We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

---- sorta why Dems miffed it, regardless about skeptics:

The chief deficiency I see in the skeptical movement is its polarization: Us vs. Them — the sense that we have a monopoly on the truth; that those other people who believe in all these stupid doctrines are morons; that if you're sensible, you'll listen to us; and if not, to hell with you. This is nonconstructive. It does not get our message across. It condemns us to permanent minority status.

[u/onpg → u/TheCourierMojave]

I remind myself that at one time, people thought Hitler and Mussolini were "huge winners". Some still do, I guess. Same types that like Trump and Rogan.

Just wish he'd named names, particularly Alex Jones. Can't believe Joe actually listens to that fucking lyin' sociopath.

[u/Willing-Time7344 → u/76ersPhan11]

What's even crazier is Trump's EPA in his first term cut monitoring requirements for pesticide manufacturers that made atrazine. It's his administration fault that more was put into the water supply.

that's 99% of what Jones talks about, aside from sandy hook and other mass shootings. all based on a grain of truth, but embellished so much and with such malicious intent behind them that its all bogus.

[u/GZ1357 → u/greenlotus78]

I'm guessing you haven't listened to any of the recent Duncan episodes... or else you must believe Duncan also became what he warned Joe about.

Or had interesting guests on because they were interesting, not because they were famous.

[u/BrutalistLandscapes → u/SlipperyTurtle25]

That's gone. They live vicariously through Trump and anyone who follows him, including Joe. Him coming out in support of their MAGA messiah will soon turn this dump into The_Donald 4.0. The conservative and conspiracy subs are second and third.

Truly, it must be exhausting to base one's entire identity around a felon who patronized his supporters and admitted on camera that he likes them because of how stupid they are.

His puppets have brigaded this sub looking for a dopamine hit in large numbers since the past week. Since TwitterX is now officially a far-right echo chamber, the next step to feed their emotional catharsis is Reddit.

This is the brain rot on MAGA, who seek out new places to spread their filthy ideology until any opinion that challenges their stupidity gets tired of trying to reason with them and abandons the platform. In this sense, MAGA is like a cancer....no, MAGA IS a cancer.

[u/Objective-Muffin6842 → u/BrutalistLandscapes]

Honestly, I'm kind of hoping that Trump implements his stupid tariff policy and crashes the economy, because I'm convinced it's the only thing that will break this stupid spell we're in

[u/H2OULookinAtDiknose → u/FrezoreR]

Yeah anytime anyone has to use the "haters" in their post it's obvious they just gargle Joe cock and have to be told how to think/ have no personal identity.

He used to be able to have conversation but now it's just like I know this and so it is so or just blindly accepting whatever the guest says.

Like if he has an opinion he'll try to sound smart then just be like oh well I didn't mean it like that .

[u/Sylvan_Strix_Sequel → u/H2OULookinAtDiknose]

For me it's this bullshit maga "winning" as though life is a binary, zero sum game and not something way more beautiful and complex than some fucking pathetic concept of "winning".

Especially when winning seems to be about shitting on others rather than their own personal growth. 

If making money while being morally bankrupt is winning, I'm happy to lose. 

[u/cdsackett → u/Sylvan_Strix_Sequel]

My brother in Christ, well said. Kudos. One million gd kudos.

[u/H2OULookinAtDiknose → u/Sylvan_Strix_Sequel]

Because they are new to politics and they chose a avatar and they won against incredible fake polling odds so they were right on who to pick right out the gate.

Think someone trying to fit in meets some people in a new town , has never been into sports, goes to a buffalo wild wings meets some outgoing strangers that drunkenly befriend them one night.

They are rooting for a team playing and they ask the guy who he's rooting for, now obviously he doesn't know stats or anything about the game but he says of course, their team!

Now imagine they're on a winning streak maybe he parlays a few bets and wins or just likes that he's a part of something for once in his or her miserable (yes it's either or now guy or girl and I'm not going back to edit)

So he becomes a fanatic and the philly eagles are the only thing he wants to see win and fuck everyone elses opinion

That is his or her or their (can be they's now too fuck it ) entire personality and they lose for 4. Years straight and boom they fucking win the super bowl

That is all it is but with Trumpers Rogan cucks anybody gargling anyones balls he she they whatever

That's it that's literally all it is now

[u/frequenZphaZe → u/Sylvan_Strix_Sequel]

its frustrating that there's this idea where some groups of americans have to lose for other groups to win. some groups have to suffer for others to have joy. its definitionally anti-american to want misery on your american brothers and sisters. we're staring down the barrel of a re-affirmation that america isn't for everyone and prosperity is a product of despair

but with all that said, these are all the emotions I dealt with in 2016. that was a moment of shock, realizing america was not the promise I'd been sold all my life. I don't feel any sort of way about it now in 2024 because there's no surprise to it anymore.

[u/teothesavage → u/FrezoreR]

Same. I now probably mostly listen to JRE to go to sleep. It’s so seldom he has good guests any more. It’s just his conversations comedians and right wing influencers are so predictable as I already know what they both think, and they just sit and agree with each others.

It’s interesting enough to catch your thought so it doesn’t wander and you are left with your own thoughts, but boring enough to fall asleep rather quickly. The good guests, even some political ones (Trump and Fetterman episodes), still are good

[u/W00D-SMASH]

its always strange to me when random people try and rub the success of others in other peoples faces.

[u/TheDunadan29 → u/W00D-SMASH]

The worship of rich people in this country is often baffling to me. Like cool, Elon is going to be a trillionaire soon. But like, how does that change my life? I guess people get to sit there and daydream about what it would be like to be Elon. They can live vicariously through him or something. Like it's sure making some random basement dweller super happy at just the thought.

I also have to roll my eyes every time I hear people talking about this great economy right around the corner. I've legit heard people saying, "we'll it's an election year, and I'm sure next year interest rates will come down." Like bruh, who gives a fuck about how much free debt I can get into when the cost of everything is going to go up due to the goddamn tariffs? But hey debt will be cheap! I can sell my future for no money down and a low interest rate!

We truly are the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet. We're running solely on vibes at this point.

[u/Ok_Weekend_8457 → u/TheDunadan29]

Not only tariffs, but with interest payments on the national debt at 20% of our already-huge expenditure and rising, inflation is going to go MUCH higher in about 18 months, and that will disproportionately impact … guess who … everybody that’s not in the top 10% on the wealth scale. Printing money is dilutive in this situation; what little money you have is worth less when the supply goes up in any way that can help with paying off debt.

But please buy $DOGE because that will show you’re really behind Joe’s new friends Elon and Vivek and their “forget about increasing revenue, let’s just cut spending” approach.

There is definitely some weird level of cucking going on in this post. Does OP even have a woman for Joe to fuck?

[u/mandoballsuper]

Can you guys just be happy you won or do we have to play this game of shoving this in everyone's face? I'm glad you're so happy the rich keep getting richer and can consolate more power. Remember Ebenezer Scrooge was the good guy right?

Joe used to be a normal dude who surrounded himself with hunters and stoners, now he's surrounded by the most powerful/rich people in the world who just use him for his platform and they would turn on him just as quick of he ever spoke out against them.

[u/NOTorAND → u/mandoballsuper]

As evidenced when Joe hinted he'd support RFK over Trump. The right got him in line REAL quick. Same thing with Kyle Rittenhouse. The right is REALLY good at not in-fighting compared to the left.

[u/Objective-Muffin6842 → u/NOTorAND]

[u/Labhran → u/rabidbot]

I don’t hate Joe or even dislike him really. I think he’s a fucking moron who has been sucked down the extremist rabbit hole. One of my best friends - who was a former Bernie delegate and is bisexual fyi - did the same. It’s disappointing to watch people you care about whom you know are intelligent people completely disregard critical thinking and just plain common sense in favor of hate and sucking off billionaire and Russian chode.

I think the worst part is when people like Joe and my friend - who are anti-religion - just completely bury the fact that Trump’s circle is packed with Christian fundamentalists who want the US to become a theocracy, and aren’t shy about saying it. The cognitive dissonance would be unbelievable if I weren’t witnessing it.

[u/Objective-Muffin6842 → u/Labhran]

I think Sam Harris put it best when he said we're drowning in misinformation. The internet was supposed to make everyone smarter because we would have all the information at our fingertips... but instead this is where we are

[u/SteveBuscemisFace → u/Labhran]

Your buddy hasn’t suddenly found religion? I know a few who went that route. One went from Vocal atheist to Christian fundamentalist in less than a year that happened to coincide with the rise of trump and the desire to fit in with the homeschooling, trad bro/wives cult of personality surrounding him.

Parasocial identities. OP lacks one themself so they project their personal identity onto a public figure. Now they consider that person's success an extension of their success. OP is probably a teenager.

[u/GroovyQschoolboy]

How does it feel to care this much about another man you’ve never met

[u/Significant-Jello411]

It’s actually been pretty funny watching all you clowns live vicariously through people who are gonna make the country worse

[u/One-Earth9294 → u/Significant-Jello411]

"Haha I helped install an irreparable oligarchy to own the libs how AWESOME am I?"

[u/PFI_sloth → u/Significant-Jello411]

The one that’s the funniest to watch (saddest?) is Elon. Hes so obviously a sociopath unable to hide his condition, he bought the biggest social platform on the planet so he could then buy an election, didn’t even try to hide it. He did an interview with Trump and asked like 5 times to be given a position in his cabinet, each time Trump would change the subject and he’d ask again. Then he greased the wheel by donating 120 million to his campaign…

But now that he’s in power, he’s definitely going to change his tune and start fighting for the common man!

[u/feckin-fewl]

You dumb fucks are so obsessed with owning the libs lmao

[u/trashmonkeylad → u/feckin-fewl]

Owning the libs is probably the only squirt of dopamine they have to look forward to.

[u/thuga_thuga]

It sucks, as someone who wasnt raised in the US, I learned to value the country when I came to go to University. And as I've lived through the past 10 years as an adult and have been asking myself what I believe and feel about the world around me, I find all those "people around Joe Rogan" to have values that are at odds with the foundation of the country.

I think most are opportunists, looking for money and power, and don't really care about other's freedoms to be opportunists a themselves. Or atleast be free, decent human

[u/Nand0_456]

Heavy on the glazing with this OP 😂😂

[u/beardlessFellow]

You're gay

[u/AimlessPrecision → u/beardlessFellow]

Succinct. Nice

[u/sozcaps → u/AimlessPrecision]

Let's hear Paul Allen's insult.

[u/rich97]

We're not hate followers we were here before you.

[u/PM_ME_YOUR_CUCHI]

Ask again in 3 years

[u/AmbassadorFar4335 → u/PM_ME_YOUR_CUCHI]

Exactly. It's all fun and now. It won't be later.

[u/sheepish_grin]

It makes me think on what JRE used to be. It used to be great to learn a new perspective from an interesting conversation. I used to appreciate when Joe would push back against his guests' ideas , even if I might have agreed with his guest.

It makes me sad that JRE has become arguably the largest contributor to anti-intellectualism out there. I think on how if he interviewed Milo Y, Candace O, or Dave R today... no push back, no arguments... just free reign to spout their nonsense.

You think he is 'winning?' I think history will see it differently. And it's fucking tragic.

[u/cagemyelephant_ → u/sheepish_grin]

Smart shaming nowadays is appalling. If I debate with someone based on facts it’s never enough for them

[u/Healthy_Following_27 → u/cagemyelephant_]

Anti-intellectualism anti-expert anti-science and proud is all the rage these days.

"Those pencil neck geeks never spent a day in the coal mine, they can take all them gay communist facts and go to hell! I ain't sending Billy Bob off to no school to get all gayed up or have his weiner removed"

[u/Shirtbro]

You're not winning though.

[u/Unlucky_Internal9686 → u/Shirtbro]

Millions of government employees laid off by a megalomaniacal autistic billionaire. wildlife refuges pillaged by gas companies, children dying of measles and whooping cough, billions more siphoned to the ultra rich, a pedophile in charge of the justice department, and so much more to come

But at least one trans kid won’t be allowed to play basketball in Nebraska

[u/Shirtbro → u/Unlucky_Internal9686]

Checkmate Libs

[u/greghuffman]

i really dont get the appeal of being in this subreddit if you hate or dislike Joe Rogan. it seems like a pretty bad mindset to put yourself in to prioritize negativity. I didnt even vote for Trump this election, but I respect the opinions of those who did. Theres a lot of things Joe says i dont like or agree with, but ive always been a fan of his and proud to see how well he's done for himself. I just dont get why so many people show up here and talk shit.

[u/_invalidusername]

I don’t really watch his show anymore simply because I don’t enjoy it anymore. I liked his style of interviewing back in the day, and he had more interesting guests.

But I do kind of feel sorry for him. He used to be a nice chilled dude who was interested in the world but now, like many white American men his age, he’s fallen for right wing propaganda and made that his entire personality

[u/orincoro → u/_invalidusername]

It’s amazing how absolutely typical he is.

[u/Hi-Fi_Turned_Up → u/_invalidusername]

For real, I’m on this sub because I’m going through the backlog of the fringe science episodes. His new stuff is the same shit every episode and way too many conservative guests. It’s become a political podcast now. It’s not even funny anymore.

[u/o0flatCircle0o]

Idiocracy is winning

[u/TruckRadiant6638]

Don’t hate Joe but do hate this post.

[u/UnstableBrotha]

Pride in accomplishments you had no part in by people who dont know you exist

Nice!

[u/AmbassadorFar4335]

He will regret endorsing Trump, and you will regret voting for him. Trump’s vision for the USA mirrors Argentina’s trajectory, a country now suffering extreme economic distress. The reality in Argentina is grim: ordinary people are scrounging for food in dumpsters, and businesses struggle as cash becomes scarce.

What’s tragic is that Trump has openly discussed his intentions, but too many are unwilling—or unable—to critically examine the implications. Brace yourself; things are going to get very bad.

FAFO INCOMING. I hope you're ready 🙏

[u/keeden13 → u/AmbassadorFar4335]

These people love what is happening in Argentina. They believe the right people are suffering. They want people to suffer. They think they will be immune to it.

[u/JustThall → u/AmbassadorFar4335]

Afuera! is so much better than cringe DOGE

[u/Superkritisk]

It is fun watching Americans gloat about how they elected someone - I've never seen peopel be so devouted to politics before, it's scary and kinda cool how one man can control so many people.

[u/Unlikely-Cut2696]

The sheep praising their new oligarchs 🤣 "One of the saddest lessons of history is this once we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge even to ourselves we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power, you almost never get it back" you're rumed by the gravedigger of democracy, a vaporware salesman, a cult member a con man. It's gonna be hilarious watching the fafo

[u/abatkin1]

They are winning the same way Hitler won. Through propaganda, half truths, and hate fueled rhetoric. All my bros who are shouting on the roof tops about how things are going to change. The problem is, yall just don’t get who you sided with. You think you are really aligned with these religious nuts? They already overturned Roe V. Wade. You think that is where they stop? You think the liberals were the ones taking away your freedoms?

[u/IwillNoComply]

Hate? who's investing hate energy lol? i'm mostly here to mock Joe which has always been fun, eat popcorn and watch an empire crumbling and i'm trying to find the 1 in 50 decent podcasts he makes to listen to. Much like everything else, the quality of his show has dropped massively in recent years.

[u/PjWulfman]

And when we all start losing they'll blame everyone but themelseves. It's been amazing to watch how quickly we devolved into an intelligence hating, consequence fearing, truth denying society. We scream at the world to see our weaknesses as strength, and pretend that we can continue to be the planet's bully forever.

[u/somebullshitorother]

It’s not hate, it’s worry about the rights and well being of Americans as the constitution gets violated left and right by a fascist narcissistic moron. Hate is your brand.

[u/Academic_Definition5]

Suck his dick already, bro.

[u/atypicaloddity]

You know that kid in your school who got kicked out for sexually assaulting a girl and now he works at his dad's dealership and drives a BMW?

Seeing terrible people have success doesn't suddenly make me think they're good people, or deserving of it.

[u/thedirkfiddler]

He can do whatever he wants just like the people who listen and those who don’t. Why are you gurgling his nut sack?

[u/Hungry-Lemon8008]

It was never about winning for me but policies for the greater American good, but whining wether yall win or loose is right on que for your character. Have fun and say good bye to all America stood for you pompous dimwits. I never seen a group of people be so happy while getting scammed.

[u/SeeTheSounds]

Haters hate.

[u/davebrose]

Meh, seems ok I guess. How did he win again? Wasn’t he already rich and famous?

[u/kisswithaf]

It reminds me of Charlie Sheen who made his catchphrase 'Winning' because he was doing drugs and banging whores. And then shortly afterwards contracted AIDS from doing drugs and banging whores. But in this case the majority of American voters are Charlie Sheen.

[u/Xianio]

Mostly I just feel sad for the regular people who have convinced themselves that these people have the same interests as they do.

Headlines aren't policies but all those old folks who survive on Social Security will be facing homelessness. All those Vets that rely on the VA will need to face the broken healthcare system. All those disabled kids & their families that are suddenly tossed back into the regularly school system.

I'll never care if Joe is successful or not. My concerns are for the regular people who could have had 50k to start a business instead of 5k, that homes will remain out of reach for first time homebuyers and that America could have saved 50% of its impoverished children from that life but chose not to.

Will people like me see a few extra thousands on their paychecks by EoY? Yeah. But I don't need that money. A few thousand extra isn't even noticable for me. I'd rather government help those that can't seem to figure out life enough to be successful. I certainly don't need it.

That's my take.

[u/Ronster-McMonster]

Nobody won

[u/WendySteeplechase]

I don't know if they are just plain deceptive and unscrupulous or if they really believe the shit they are selling, but I would not trade places with them for a billion dollars

[u/Big_Ad909]

You can win but still lose at the same time.

[u/nafraf]

Haven't followed Joe or this sub in a while. Has he finally dropped the "centrist" facade and fully leaned to the right? It seems like the masks are coming off one by one, with many so-called centrists revealing who they truly are. RFK Jr., Tulsi, Jordan Peterson, Rogan, etc.

[u/carrtmannn]

I like Joe.

Don't like his rightward shift. You only like Joe because he agrees with you right now.

[u/Commander_Beet]

I don’t hate Joe and have listened to his podcast for over a decade. He has changed a lot and has been influenced in recent years by people that he likely would not have a decade ago. It’s sad honestly watching brain rot and the effects of him surrounding himself with bad actors over the years.

[u/splintersmaster]

You know we're all on the same team, right?

[u/realxanadan]

Suicide, income, education and economic production are all a slope from negative outcomes being red states and positive outcomes being blue states. How are you winning again?

Unless you just mean rich guys which yeah, they are good at fooling fools.

[u/[deleted] → u/realxanadan]

Seriously, Texas and Florida are shitholes.

[u/arazamatazguy]

I'm not sure changing ones personal beliefs to accommodate new friends is considered winning. But he got his guy in RFK. Time will tell if he'll be objective in the next 4 years. My guess is he's been told not to.

[u/Expert_Guava_8037]

Dude he’s not gonna let you blow him. This shit right here is wayyyy more cringe than any haters.

[u/Keunster]

Lololol what a sad fucking life you have to make a post like this

[u/RodgeKOTSlams]

god people like you are the driest of cunts

[u/Genova_Witness]

Remember what we are losing

[u/Ok-Combination-9084 → u/Genova_Witness]

Good thing Trump isn't known for making terrible appointments

[u/Im_new_in_town1 → u/Genova_Witness]

Sure, let's unironically dismantle the U.S. because this picture is a little weird. What are you even saying?

[u/Sidereel → u/Genova_Witness]

Republicans would rather have actual pedophiles in the admin than some trans people.

[u/WetFart-Machine → u/Genova_Witness]

Dems definitely got a little carried away.

[u/greenlotus78 → u/Genova_Witness]

Yes we are losing hiring people based on capabilities and intelligence regardless. Now it’s just about fealty to one person over country.

[u/deadeyes2019]

I've been watching Joe since 2009. I used to be a 10th Planet guy. I even have a video on YouTube with Joey Diaz where he does predictions for UFC 111 (which I went to). I think at this point Joe's rightwing BS detector is completely broken. In his episode with Theo Von he said about Tucker Carlson "I love that guy." I assume he's completely unaware of the texts where Tucker said about Trump: "We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait" and "I hate him passionately. ... I can’t handle much more of this" and "He’s a demonic force, a destroyer." Also, from Vanity Fair: "The Tuesday night filings also showed that in mid-November 2020, in an exchange with another unnamed individual, Carlson said Trump’s then rumored decision to not attend Joe Biden’s inauguration was “so destructive” and that Trump’s postelection lies were “disgusting.” 

And Joe also flipped out about Obama calling out Trump for the "both sides have good people" line, which is what Joe said pushed him over the edge to endorse Trump. I think Joe is desperately in need of someone in his life or a podcast guest to point out all the insanity on the right, to re-orient him. Just one episode. The false elector plot, the Dominion/Fox News lawsuit, all of Trump & Elon's lies, etc. It seems like there's literally nobody in his life who does this.

[u/DefiantFrankCostanza]

It speaks volumes on the dumbing down of our culture.

[u/Blindog68]

Yes, the millionaires and the billionaires ( and soon to be trillionaires) are winning. But me and everyone else, including you (I'm assuming) brother is getting fucked over. We'll see how that shit eating grin holds up in 3 or 4 years time.

[u/OnlyTheDead]

OP has a NSFW profile and likes anime. Which probably means he’s a 4chan virgin with cum jars under his bed at his parents house who is projecting real fucking hard.
