Yeah! Just because a racist, fascist douchebag does a seig heil doesnā€™t mean you should tell obvious big mean old lies about him being a Nazi!

You tell those woke mind virus victims, Joe!

    long-format, uncensored interviews with interesting people in en era of heavy media manipulation and short form propaganda.

    There seem to be lots of options for that these days. Heā€™s not so unique anymore.

    But he built up such a large audience.

    I use to casually watch select episodes where the guest was someone cool or interesting. And the fringe topics could be fun.

    But nowā€¦ bleh. Itā€™s all too self aware and shot with bullshit now.

      Sure thatā€™s fair. There is a lot of bullshit from a lot of places these days. Youā€™ve gotta be able to filter it for yourself. You donā€™t have to agree with every position someone has on every single political issue.

        Thatā€™s exactly what I use to do. Iā€™ve never agreed with all his opinions. But it went from ā€œwe just have different perspectivesā€ to ā€œI canā€™t tolerate this nonsense, willful ignorance, etc, etc.ā€

        He really changed. He went from a lunkhead you could assume had his heart in the right place, even if he said dumb ignorant shit, to someone whoā€™s spreading toxic ideologies that ā€œotherā€ people and sow broad and deep distrust in our institutions. ā€” Itā€™s beyond musing about conspiracy theories and talking about ā€œthey.ā€ Now itā€™s active agenda laden conspiracy proselytization.
