Feels inevitable that there won’t be a single “digital public square”: Threads will become the platform for libs in the broad sense (center left to center right), Twitter will be the platform for chuds and crypto bros.

Still not sure where the leftists and general shitposters will end up.

Joe Rogaine is the dumbest shithead

Like I've tried just listening to him before to just see what the gently caress the appeal is to chuds and bros, supposedly he is a good interviewer an acquaintance told me.

...He's just not, he sounds utterly smooth brained in every conversation, is a complete loving moron, and his interview style is basically "Wow that's really happening, woooooaaahhh dude" to utter loving lunatics

Can anyone tell me what his appeal is supposed to be?

tbf, I think there's a certain type of interviewer (and type of interviewee) well being a mute and a glorified mic(that occasionally makes that filler noise) is a good style, especially given how the blowhhard style was popular for a good while. but rogan isnt one of them.

I liked rogan a long time ago because he was the only interviewer that basically let his guest non stop talk for hours and not interfere too much

that was great when he invited interesting people

now, not so much, since its a lot of chuds getting 0 pushback and the occasional interesting guest gets lured into these weird rear end conversations about woke and poo poo

I don't think that would have helped. These people aren't using logic and it's not because they don't know about logic. It's because they want to see an attack on them happening and they'll twist logic intentionally in order to get it

Old post but this is such ridiculously disingenuous poo poo. Most huge US companies incorporate in Delaware for a whole bunch of reasons, but one of the biggest reasons is that there are so many companies incorporated in Delaware that there are boatloads of lawyers available familiar with Delaware corporate law. It is basically the default state for a US company to incorporate in.

So I'm sure all of you will be totally shocked to learn that SpaceX is incorporated in Delaware:

The dude got straight up psy-op'd by an organized steady stream of chuds who all took advantage of his empty cup smooth brain to slowly turn him into one of them because he just agrees with the last person he talks to, so they all lined up in a row to come on his show and eventually his empty cup head solidified into a right-leaning chud brain because the last 50 or so "last person in the room"s were all shitfuckers like Dennis Prager, Steve Bannon, Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson and their smaller-scale acolytes like Matt Walsh. Same thing happened to Tim Pool, a similarly empty headed "radical centrist" who was very quickly groomed into a giga chud by those around him who were smarter and more nefarious than he was.

I used to listen to his show years ago. For the most part he would just have good interesting conversations with comedians and stuff and they were natural conversations that didn't feel forced so it was fun to listen to. In those days he was more in the UFO/Cryptid beat but as with everyone that poo poo tends to lead folks all to the same path of being a right wing fuckwad. After Trump idk if he fully bought in or is just cashing in while he can but he went all in being part of the INTELLECTUAL DARK WEB and thinking of himself as some free thinking political thought leader and a larger and larger percentage of his guests were alt right online losers and his politics with farther and farther off the deep end.

If you look at his old studio he used to have like a Jimi Hendrix mugshot as his backdrop. Then he left CA in a huff, moved to Texas and made his background a big ole MURICA flag. Just a full on CHUD turn.

Years and years ago he used to platform a wider variety of guests and essentially just let them talk. It was interesting because for every time pool type motherfucker you'd also get an interesting non-chud to listen to.

He since pivoted to the right wing shithead he is now and is coasting on the momentum of not always being openly right wing.
