    How much exactly do you think Joe Rogan knows about the government of Canada? Pretty sure it’s around fuck all. He’s just a propagandist for the fascist regime at this point.

      What’s crazy is how outright pro-Trump pilled the Canadian right was until about three months ago when Trump took office. You had the Conservative party outright bragging about being Pro-Trump, Trudeau floundering in the polls because of his criticisms of the Trump leadership team, and big oil-exporting states absolutely glowing at the prospect of a climate denialist government joining hands with them in the next election.

      Then Trump took office and started threatening sanctions, he started accusing Canadians of exporting fentanyl, and he started making vague threats aimed at Canadian territory. Public sentiment turned on a dime. The Conservative Party crashed in the polls. Trudeau’s liberals surged. Canadian media and politics turned incredibly hostile towards anyone Trump affiliated.

      And now guys like Rogan are just catching strays for being Trump adjacent. He doesn’t know anything about Canada. He just knows his (increasingly former) Canadian base is suddenly calling him all the slurs they’d historically reserved for his left-wing guests.

        I recall shortly back a lot of us Canadians talked about leaving the monarch, but we seem to have gotten over that in a hurry also. 😉

        People’s opinions change very quick now.

          I think it’s just the propaganda machine being efficient. All the major social media platforms are owned by billionaires (except blue sky but not sure there’s nearly as many users compared to twit/meta/reddit) and they’re manipulated to push the interests of the elites.

      Joe Rogan became convinced Trudeau was a dictator because of COVID restrictions.

      Like they say aboht him, knowledge a mile wide, and only an inch deep. He has been defending women beaters, rapists and anti intellectualism before he became an actual tool of the new regime.

      Most of it will come from Jordan Peterson with his twisted, drug addled take. I think it goes back to his News Radio days from Dave Foley’s horror stories about his divorce however many decades ago that was. You just know Rogan’s wife is locked into an iron clad contract. Don’t nobody mess with Joe’s roll.

        Definitely got it from Peterson. Rogan has called Canada “communist” and claimed that people are being imprisoned here for posting criticism of “wokeness” on the Internet. Both of those claims echo Peterson’s idiocy, but the second one in particular is pretty much guaranteed to be straight from his mouth as it’s the exact “compelled speech” bullshit that earned him much of his early notoriety and, as far as I know, hasn’t really picked up traction with other alt-reich talking heads.

        Peterson brain damage was from getting a coma in RUSsia because he wasn’t man enough to go through benzo withdrawals the healthy way.

        Foley got fucked hard in his divorce. Thankfully he ended up getting back together with that ex after his coma. He was out long enough to get over his alcoholism which was the driving factor in his dovorce.

    It sucks because it used be a pretty solid show until he started bringing in all those alt right grifters.

      Before he went to Spotify I really loved listening to his show because for the most part it was just casual conversation about things that were interesting. Seems like moving to Spotify turned him into an alt right monster.

        He’s been leaning that way for well over a decade, long before Spotify. Just have a look at the guest lists. Same with Elon, he’s been a tool forever. I don’t know why many seem to believe this is a recent development, it’s just escalated a couple of notches in the past 4-5 years.

    What a cunt. Not that it hasn’t been clear for a long time, but just so brazenly a piece of shit. Why anyone gives that waste of oxygen clicks is beyond me.

    Meanwhile, Canadians: “I’m actually terrified to go to the US because of ICE”.

    I wonder if a few Canadian who are fans of this idiot will start to question him now…

    I can dream.

    “Why are we upset at Canada? This is stupid, this over tariffs,” Rogan said during the March 14 episode of his popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, while conversing with comedian Michael Kosta.

    This was only a couple of days ago! He really changes positions as the wind blows
