I suspect the real reason liberals melt down when Bernie goes and talks to voters without going through the approved corporate media outlets of the liberal intelligentsia, is that their plan to beat him is to ally with Republicans to propagandize America over and over that Sanders is a crazy dangerous radical, and therefore they become apoplectic when they can't control the conversations he's having and voters find out what he really believes and is proposing and they like it.

No you see, Bernie may have spent an hour forcefully advocating for leftist ideas for an audience of literally over 2.2 million people, but Rogan had a chud as a guest once and hence this is actually bad.

This is the dumbest thing I've seen in a while, and let me tell you all why.

See, there seems to exist this nonsense unspoken assumption in certain liberal circles that media outlets aren't good or bad because of what's being said on them but they're somehow just intrinsically is good or bad. We see here an unironic claim resting on the idea that it apparently literally doesn't matter what Bernie says on the Joe Rogan show, because the show somehow is inherently corrupting and will lead people down a slippery slope to chudhood as if it were the loving One Ring or something.

Now, normally you'd think that if Bernie spends an hour promoting socialism it would, assuming that he does a good job, sway people towards his point of view and Bernie would be the person that the viewer gets interested in, but no, apparently the siren song of the media outlet itself traps the listener and turns them into a raging Joe Rogan fanatic first and foremost that will uncritically believe anything they find on the channel. Or at least I think this is the assumption here, because I can't find anything else that could possibly lead to Chilichimp's conclusion. Needles to say, this is just absurd. I guess it's some weird extension of team politics where some media outlets are just on the good guy side and hence all the others must be evil and corrupting.

Did Joe Rogan make Jordan Peterson look good.

I only saw the clips on Sam Seder's show but JP looked like a befuddled moron.

Not saying Rogan is good, and I didn't watch the entire show so maybe Peterson looked good except for those clips, but those clips were damning and it's hard to imagine anyone coming away with a good impression of him after those.

I think you're attributing a thought process where there really is not one. It's the same level of stupid as a CHUD, just using a different vocabulary.

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

I've posted four times on the topic over the span of three hours. That's hardly "continuously." I didn't "refuse" to read anything; I'm at work, so I haven't had the chance to look at it yet. My only point has been that "complexity" in a plan isn't necessarily a good thing; you're blowing my posts out of proportion.

No one's "mad" at this plan; what a weird thing to project.

Seriously. He got an hour to basically make his case free of the usual bullshit, he reached millions, many of which he wouldn't have otherwise, everything so far indicates that his message is resonating and to top it all off he got the whole drat thing for free. Objectively speaking it was a loving coup of Bernie's part, which is why the usual suspects are once again reduced to casting aspersions on where he appeared instead of any actually substantial criticism.

Government infrastructure is exactly what left policy is. Government owned, operated, maintained infrastructure is a tenet of any progressive left or even socialist movement inherently.

In this specific case community owned and operated not for profit ISP sounds pretty good compared to privately owned but publicly funded systems we have now.

Like Yang's entire initial bounce was from appearing on Joe Rogan, if Bernie can snag those voters with an appearance then he'd be dumb not to

Socialist policies can drive out fascist ones and exposing proto-fascists to a positive socialist message is quite likely to win converts

Tucker Carlson or O'Reilly or Rush are probably lost causes and not worthwhile but I believe Rogan is generally a lot less hardcore politically

There are definite lines though. Tucker/O'Reilly/Rush are fash propagandists. Appearing on their platforms (like Nagel did recently, incidentally to trash the DSA) isn't going to get you an audience that you want and your message can get mangled into right-wing propaganda itself (like Tucker's anti-Amazon rant earlier in the year).

Its also inaccurate to say that socialist policies will automatically drive out fash ones. "Socialist" policies for whites only are really well-received, and expect that to be the pivot for some fash as capitalism continues to fall apart... which is why getting leftist ideas adulterated with fash ones (i.e. immigrants are bringing down worker wages) is always a danger.
