Pepe was also, coincidentally, the face of the Free Hong Kong protests before china's bullshit national security law shut it down.

I was living there at the time and was really shocked when I first encountered Pepe plastered on Lennon Walls and protest sites.

Most Hong Kong people had no idea what it meant outside of that context.

I visited during a wave of protests in Oct 2019 and was shocked at the number of American flags I saw in those crowds. I think they were just desperately trying to get the world's attention and bring the US into the fight. Sorry 'bout that, Hong Kong, you caught us in a really bad time to give a poo poo about international affairs. :sad:

Again a very likpatous story
I think Glenn Beck is my "favorite" right wing media personality to listen to. Hannity is a broken record who just repeats the exact same poo poo day after day, in the exact same words every time, and Clay and Buck are just too dull to be interesting most of the time. Jesse Kelly is a smug rear end in a top hat who's just annoying to listen to except when he flips out like he did the other night.

But Glenn Beck is genuinely entertaining because you never know what crazy thing he's going to talk about. They were doing a "Best of" today since he's still on vacation but the small snippets I heard were somewhat recent and crazy as always.

Started out by calling a woman stupid because she traded in her Tesla for a Volkswagon EV. Literally their reasoning was "Uh, don't you dumb liberals realize Volkswagon was founded by Hitler? You'd rather support Hitler than Elon Musk?"

Then it was talk about how the Fed has released the CBDC. He claims they released it on Wednesday afternoon, when everyone was too busy being distracted by the upcoming Christmas weekend to notice. This is simultaneously scary, because it will be the Mark of the Beast, but also we should laugh at it, because it doesn't work.

Finally it was talk about Biden extending the student loan payment freeze again. This is part of Biden's nefarious plot to destroy the US, because you see, government workers have a program where they're allowed to write off any remaining student loan debt, no matter how large it is, as long as they have made payments on it consistently every month for ten years. But you see, even though student loan payments have been frozen, the time since the freeze started still counts as part of the ten years until the payment can be discharged. So these government workers, who are evil liberals trying to destroy America, are being given a big fat handout by BIden by the past two years counting as making payments even though they haven't been!

So yeah like I said. Beck is stupid as hell but at least he always has new material and is usually interesting in the poo poo he says. Like the CBDC being the Mark of the Beast, you think Hannity is going to say insane poo poo like that?

If you can find a Salem Media station, they're loving hilarious, since they're basically dollar store Rush Limbaugh.

The one I used to listen to had lovely knockoffs of all the "important" right-wing talking heads, so they had Charlie Kirk instead of Smol Ben, "The Officer Tatum Show" instead of Dan Bongino, Dennis Prager instead of Rush Limbaugh, and Sebastian Gorka had a show for some reason.

That station also had zero ads for actual businesses (100% of the ads were for their own shows, Salem movies, or other Salem stations), so I'm pretty sure the entire thing is a money laundering operation somehow.

Along similar lines: I'm not sure if Joe Rogan counts as RWM and I haven't listened to his show much aside from some clips but...

He's a good interviewer...?

I don't care much for him personally and my perception may be clouded by the fact that I listened to the shows until recently where he had stand up comics on that I like. I think that might account for my surprising level of entertainment with the podcasts I listened to.

I am not here to defend Joe Rogan in any way but, having subjected myself to his interviews with Ron White, Dice Clay, Dan Akroyd and a few other people who I forget that I checked out, I have to admit that unlike a LOT of super media personalities, he gives his guests a lot of room to breathe and speak and I honestly get why he's popular. Can't say the same for anyone on FOX News or talk radio to be honest.

In a lot of ways, he seems to me like a mirror image of just about where the country is politically and intellectually, like the perfect avatar in many ways. He's not an idiot but he's not bright. He's got a lot of "both sides" poo poo going on and seems to know just enough to have bad opinions, but he's also self deprecating and admits to being as full of poo poo as anyone, which you'll never hear Tucker or Hannity admit to. He gives his guests a very wide berth and seems genuinely open to ideas and sources he hadn't heard of or known about and doesn't argue or shout over his guests. He likes and respects money and those that earn it, like most Americans.

I get the sense that my modest "I don't think he's a monster" take on it may be due to the specific episodes I listened to and that how much I enjoy a particular episode largely boils down to how much I liked his guest -and not him but that's to his credit in certain ways, at least for me.

The thing that defines Rogan for me is when he lost his poo poo at a primatologist who called his show to try to correct a mistake he had made talking about a news story. He kept yelling at her about how she was dumb and I think he called her a oval office as well. I will agree that such a reaction is about where the nation is, intellectually speaking.

I have tried listening to him and he kinda just comes off as a dumb jock, maybe not neferious with ulterior motives but an moron who will side with chuds because chuds arguments are usually simpler then others. i listened to him talk to some photographer and he just came off as dim and would say stupid poo poo, but whatever.

I will say he doesn't have the issue i have with various lefty podcasts i listen to where half the time they never get to the loving subject of the lesson(We don't speak german) or have long diatribes that go no where and then never really cover much(we dont speak german, behind the bastards, etc) its not a bad thing but jesus, like sometimes just get to the loving point.

Prager's bullshit is still blowing my mind because it's entirely on the cusp of understanding something that it absolutely must refuse. He's incensed by the constant influx of his followers explaining that their political views cause their grown offspring to stop voluntarily associating with them, and he has to find some way that this is intolerance and that for some reason old bigoted fucks are entitled to the gracious presence of their family

And to do this he must completely erase any professed knowledge of any circumstance where conservatives estranged their liberal children, despite the part where they hold a virtual monopoly on epidemic estrangement of children who come out as lgbt

No, no. It’s only wrong when the child abandons the parent, because the child is the property of the parent. The obscenity to him is not the cruelty of abandonment, but the fact that the child dares to violate the natural order and not remain submissive. The parent of course has the right to do and say anything to the child.

Most Hong Kong people had no idea what it meant outside of that context.

Over 90% of the people using Pepe never did so in any bigoted context, and nazis have appropriated nearly every other meme for their own uses. Incuding basic emoticons

The only thing that kicked off the correlation was a blog post by the Clinton campaign reacting to an instagram post by Don Jr. In which he posted a photoshop of the Expendables movie poster which included Pepe

Although Don Jr is a bigot shithead for overlapping but non-identical reasons, it seemed like a real stretch to devote a press release to it since apparently Pepe was the most offensive thing in it. And the meme pic didn't seem to include any bigoted content (unless you count all pro-Trump propaganda or the Expendables franchise to be the equivalent of nazi symbology).

They also had to explain that it was "almost entirely" co-opted by white nationalist, which was a claim Matt Furie pushed hard back against even at the time. I have no doubt that their social media staffer was inundiated with nazi pepe posts every time they checked the campaign's twitter accounts, but I suppose everyone has their own tunnel-vision when it comes to defining the internet

I'm fairly certain this would unironically be their argument. "The Bible commands you to honor your father and mother, but it doesn't command parents to honor their children. Therefore if a parent wants to be around his family he is entitled to it and the children are wrong to withhold their presence from the parent, and if the parent estranges the child the child is also in the wrong, because if they were honoring their parents they wouldn't have been estranged."

I listened to Joe Rogan when he would just have on comedians to shoot the poo poo back in the early days of podcasting. When he started having on non-funny guests to back-up his very stupid beliefs and conspiracy theories is when I checked out. I only found out about the podcast because I was sadly an Opie & Anthony fan back in the day and thought Joe Rogan was funny on that show.

Something Awful, so easy even a spaceman can do it!


He is the perfect host for people to come and talk to because he just lets them talk while occasionally going “oh wow, so how does that work?” 99% of the time, he never argues back because of that style.

He also never actually put any work in to learn about the subject beforehand so he can claim that he has plausible deniability if his guest lies. Also, he will never come back on their lies unless it personally affects him. The perfect example of this was Trump grifter, Jason Miller, lying about GETTR and making an account for Rogan while lying to Rogan about how much the site was used. Rogan actually saw how he got scammed and came out to say that the site sucked because he was lied to.

It was amazing to listen to knowledge fight episode on 9/11/01 to hear Joe Rogan call into Infowars. Rogan actually called out Jones’ bullshit but the years and his podcast show seem to have left that bullshit radar to the side.

And I said to myself "this guy is either overselling his enthrallment to the idea to put Stroud over with his audience, or he is the most credulous motherfucker alive", and it turned out the be the latter.
