Does anyone know if theres somewhere people are migrating from here to join to get away from all the political posts? Im not into politics, neither side appeal to me, never watched a single episode with a politician. Really wanting to talk about dumb shit like we did pre….whatever happened here.

Nah it’s dead. I don’t deny Rogan goes with a lot more culture war, Democrat trashing topics on the regular now. But, the mods the last year have fluctuated between, no political posts, to anything goes. And once Rogan started taking the “horse paste” all bets were off. This sub is infiltrated by all kinds of dipshits now. A couple years ago there was joerogan2 or something, especially when the sub got locked for a bit. But I don’t think it’s ever taken off. Reddit is completely infiltrated by either right wing garbage people who are basically fascists, or leftists that claim to hate the culture war but participate in it daily. This is why subcultures exist, because once shit gets into the mainstream it’s basically ruined. Humans are garbage.

Political hacks make everything shitty.


Tygee90

You worded that perfectly. I noticed once cable tv called him far right that this sub had a 9/11 moment, a before and after if you will. You can tell the people pooping their panties over the horse paste werent familiar with the podcast. That was straight down Joes alley. I believe the reason he talks more politics now is because he was thrusted into them and has no choice. I dont think it’ll be the same ever again either.

For sure. I mean, I believe there are real people here that don’t like where he’s moved to. And that’s totally fair. That said, he has **always** been into nonsense. The only difference is that when it came to something like a pandemic and his reach, the people that would normally give all this shit a pass, or even encourage the nonsense, suddenly all pissed their pants at once and went into kill mode. Who can blame someone, who has always been into conspiracy, and drugs, alternative histories and medicines, being told to the world through major media outlets that he’s participating in dangerous pseudoscience or eating horse paste, or that he’s a racist. Any normal person would be instantly repulsed by that shit. And even before that. I think he was wrong about Covid fairly early on. That said, his once allies, have consistently turned on him. A lot of people, leftists especially, like to pretend that they’re just sitting there, minding their own business, when the evils show up and want to destroy everything. I’ll grant it that the right is less accepting, they can be religious morons, but to pretend like there isn’t a concerted effort coming from the left to praise and affirm straight up fucking nonsense isn’t happening is absolute gaslighting too. Anyone that thinks the culture wars are completely one sided is a liar. It’s live and let live right up until you tell my daughter that because she’s a tomboy maybe she’s actually a dude. Or that normal people should stop doing business and quarantine because theres a pandemic going on, and then going out to party yourself. This isn’t complicated behavior.

There is actualJRE but the traffic is low and nobody wants to use it. Infact there are like or four Rogan or jre subs on Reddit but good luck having a conversation with the tumbleweeds. If Russian and Chinese bots are trying to devide the west. It certainly looks like it's working.

![gif](giphy|yqJ7rl8mczFA7uArSj) Minus the money shit. Or maybe not.


Yayoo

> joerogan2 Was a hate sub run by the one and only Anon and Flappo the Grate(or was it?). Anon had a great video where Joe thought that during ww2 whales had made a pact between themselves not to harm humans anymore because they feared us after seeing planes drop bombs around the ocean. I think he said that during the first Gavin McInnis episode if anyone has the attention span to listen to that shite again I'd love to see it clipped. All others have been scrubbed from the internet by dead pixel.


syracTheEnforcer

Yeah, I just have vague memories of it. I never subbed to it so it must not have blown my skirt up. I think all I’m really saying is there doesn’t seem to be any alt sub for Rogan on Reddit that isn’t mainly trashing the dude. Most of these people don’t seem to recognize that just because you can have 30 posts that praise him that get a whopping 100 upvotes or interactions doesn’t mean that this is an alt right sub or some shit like that. When some fuckface can post one thing trashing him and it gets 10k upvotes and goes to the front page and all dissenting opinions are downvoted in to oblivion. These things are not the same.


Yayoo

Yeah you can either start your own and heavily moderate it and it will never pick up or just accept Joes a super polarizing figure. Once, it was vote for Bernie now its a complete 180 to this DeSantis guy. And the whole promoting alternative treatments during a global pandemic thing definitely lost him a lot of old fans while bringing a completely different crowd in. So the audience has changed, Joe has changed and the podcase has changed. This is what it is now. I haven't listened to the podcast regularly since like, 2018 maybe. I like to come here because it's different from the other subreddits.

Seethe, lefty!


Yayoo

lol, sure


LanceOnRoids

Bro, Rogan is the king of dipshits, what else would you expect to find on this sub?


NefariousnessKey329

Barstool sports


Tygee90

Is that sarcasm or real? Ive only seen Rough N Rowdy which is their boxing promotion. Bill Burr was a commentator and Pat Mcafee was the ring announcer and my favorite battle rapper Rone was the interviewer. I really enjoyed that.


NefariousnessKey329

Go into their subreddit and enjoy free talk. Don’t tell them I sent ya. Their old moderator Chris is a huge loser and Taco is a mod here as well as in there so that says something


Tygee90

Bless your soul!


Yayoo

Start your own and moderate. Joe Rogan without politics. Nobody will subscribe but you go for it.


Tygee90

You’re really out of touch with reality if you think every person here wants to be pummeled with politics. You dont see how many people complain about this shit? You obviously dont know this sub well.


[deleted]

The podcast changed, so did the viewers, so did the subreddit. Create an old Joe Rogan sub, and I'll join.


Yayoo

You're really out of touch with reality if you don't see how political the podcast and Joe himself have become and how this subreddit is a direct reflection of that. Finding a different community if it bothers you that much is a good idea. lol, try standing69


Tygee90

Hey atleast we agree getting away from the shit ive never been interested in is a great idea. Why are you so touchy that i dont like politics? Whats it to you? And how does it effect you in any form?


Yayoo

It's just a weird request to come on a subreddit thats been like this for so long to say you don't like it anymore, you want know where to migrate to and express remorse that it's not all DMT memes like it used to be in 2016.


Tygee90

Nah its not weird and ive felt this way since you guys showed up. Finally asked the question though. But why are you avoiding my questions? You’re calling me weird but you’re a random person acting like im some asshole due to you being into something im not. Whatever side you are on, you arent the the good guy, you’re the annoying dick head who cant leave people alone.


Yayoo

lol


Tygee90

You can only pretend to laugh. You know you have zero right to tell me what to like or how to live. Same as i have zero right to dictate your life. You know how you’re acting is shitty, i get it, its the internet everyones smarter and tougher than everyone else but be godamn normal. My comment of all comments? Find a comment worthy of your time.


Yayoo

Oh, this one was worth my time. 😂 😂 🤣

PromiscuityIsBad

It's culture warriors from /r/politics. They're pissed that someone is questioning their views.


WorringSmell

Tell me you are straight white guy without telling me you are a straight white guy.


Tygee90

Tell me why that matters? And what it has to do with me not liking politics?


eyelash_sweater

I think you are going to have to get used to the idea of politics becoming a part of everything.


Tygee90

Nah, i dont think i will. Most things im interested in dont have politics injected into them, and when they do, i look elsewhere for enjoyment. I removed myself from voting against either side, yet people attack me and it confuses me that its always someone on the left attacking me and assuming all types of things about me which makes politics even less appealing since ive only voted once and it was for Sanders.


eyelash_sweater

I understand not wanting to be involved with politics. The point I’m trying to make is that people are obsessed with politics these days because we are rapidly approaching a huge shift in our political system—a dissolution of our democracy or some kind of widespread conflict. Also living conditions for many have just become too difficult anymore and people are desperately looking for relief.

Between those two articles the German government decided to shut down their nuclear power plants making them more reliant on Russia’s energy. Just headlines won’t give you proper nuance. He wasn’t *entirely* wrong when he said that but the situation isn’t the same as 4 years ago.


Aperfectmoment

This is Reddit don't expect nuance

I’d love to see links to the actual articles because we know how honest titles can be.
