the only politician rogan understands is the one who has literal brain worms

[-] hume_lemmy@lemmy.ca 32 points 2 months ago

Rogan is what happens when the barbarian doesn't have a miniature giant space hamster to whisper common sense into his ear.

[-] Daze@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

So like, just your ordinary, run-of-the-mill space hamster then?

Jr: Talks about how he picked up a dead bear to "harvest" it, left it in the back of his car for presumably hours, then dumped it in Central Park as a "joke" when he had to go to the airport

JoRo: That's a man I can get behind

How does anybody take either of these people remotely seriously?

This gives him too much credit.

A barbarian khan would legitimately be trying to understand how the world works. Yes, sometimes he has a scientist on and he's forced to learn things. But, other times he has a guest on so that that guest can promote their terrible worldview -- see RFK Jr.

I think of this every time I read what Joe's doing

I can't wait for the tide to turn against Joe Rogan and he becomes another has-been. He's done way too much damage on a lot of important issues.

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 71 points 2 months ago

I don't understand how more people don't see this. It drives me insane. "Did you watch the interview with Joe Rog-" "NO!!!"

Yes, which is why he’s perfect for Joe Rogan.

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world 76 points 2 months ago

Yes. 1,000%.

[-] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 45 points 2 months ago

He just admitted to leaving a bear cub carcass in Central Park with a bike on it in a scene like the bike hit and killed the bear cub. He had the bear cub in his car so he could skin (and I think eat it) but had to go to a diner and the next logical thing was leave the corpse in a park.

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 33 points 2 months ago

And a man who was only prevented by a red-eye flight from eating a roadkill bear he picked up in the morning and left undressed in his car all day is very much the type of person at high risk for brainworms.

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Prions. Scary stuff. Could absolutely get it from exposure to brain matter from a bear or dear.

Stay away from brains. It can kill you most horribly.

He’s also got a worm in his brain.

That’s not a joke. It’s real, and it ate part of his frontal lobe, and it’s still in there, and it’s necrotic at this point.

[-] nyar@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

He ran an anti mmr campaign in the American Samoas, resulting in him indirectly killing 85 children. He also drove his second wife to suicide due to his sex addiction.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

RFK Jr doesn't have a sex addiction, he's just an asshole (and rapist), as proven when moved that dead wife out of her burial spot.

[-] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 months ago

You have no idea. There's genuinely too much crazy stuff to cover in a comment. Worth looking into purely for entertainment value.

I recommend starting with the recent dead bear story or the brain worm thing.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 10 points 2 months ago

Behind the Bastards just did some episodes on him

The Behind the Bastards episodes on him are great as well. Dude is waaaaay more crazy than I thought and I already thought he was pretty wacko from the vaccine shit.

[-] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

That’s why he makes total sense to moron like JR

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world 77 points 2 months ago

Trump lost Joe Rogan bahaha

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 28 points 2 months ago

Spoiler candidates are mostly bad news for Democrats, but I can't imagine many people who would be swayed by a Joe Rogan endorsement would have voted (D} anyway.

[-] USSMojave@startrek.website 30 points 2 months ago

The way polling is going, RFK seems to be spoiling Trump, not Harris 🤭

[-] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Didn't trump have a talk with brainworms like a month back? I vaguely remember that a poll showed rfk stealing more from Trump.

Thank god Joe is too stupid to understand endorsing RFK will work against Trump.

I welcome his endorsement and hope he has RFK on his show 10 times before the election.

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago

Or he realizes that and he is a coward.

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 64 points 2 months ago

It's because their brain worms are communicating telepathically.

Worms of a brain and all that.

[-] finley@lemm.ee 40 points 2 months ago
[-] NounsAndWords@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago

I think it says a lot that this doesn't really move the needle about my opinion of either of them at this point...

[-] originalfrozenbanana@lemm.ee 34 points 2 months ago

Joe Rogan is the dumb man’s smart man, so of course he endorses RFK Jr.

[-] FiremanEdsRevenge@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

They probably relate because they both have brain worms

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He's straight up just a contrarian at this point. He wants to be "different," by not choosing one of the "mainstream" candidates.

It's also probably a calculated move, financially, as he doesn't want to alienate the people who make up half his audience by endorsing Kamala or Trump. Probably more than half if he endorsed the former.

Typical bourgeois attitude, putting your own financial needs (that are already met 1,000x over) above literally the survival of the Republic.

They're not even nihilists, because they worship at the alter of capital.

It's gross.

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

It's all about money for him.

Brain worms and bear cruelty are hot button issues for Joe Rogan, apparently. Is anyone really surprised the nutjob would pick the nutjob candidate?

I wonder if Joe's use of deworming medication makes him feel like he and RFK Jr. are kindred numbnuts.

“…Only one that makes sense to me” … I mean you are Joe Rogan… that’s not saying much lmao.

Not about Joe just about a better podcast than his: Behind the bastards has a several episode series on RFK Jr and the things he did.

I'm surprised anything makes sense to this guy.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Signs your ideology might lack internal consistency: you cannot make sense of anything unless it is completely harpic.
