Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan?

iforgotmyinstance@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

I immediately assume that once someone brings up Joe Rogan they are easily susceptible to authoritarian propaganda and should be avoided.

Rogan brings on guests who argue in bad faith for topics which they are unqualified to comment upon. They provide no evidence and Joe immediately agrees with whatever random bullshit they spew out. Doing this creates the image of credibility (big podcast man agreed with psycho, maybe I should agree with psycho), and since perception is reality that image has value.

What if they’re just talking about his previous acting career?

    Newsradio was a fantastic show. You think it was filled with bad acting? How much of it did you watch?

    Phil Hartman, Dave Foley, pre conviction andy dick, kathy griffin, maura tirney, and a slew of others.
    
    Did not suck, was very good.
    
    Joe Rogan was not a huge part of why. He was just to show up, look hot, say his lines, dont try too hard, just be near the funny when it happens.

  That’s entertaining, and for frequent listeners it lowers the threshold of disbelief. Because obviously Joe has some areas of true expertise. How to distinguish that from bullshit? He talks about all of these things in the exact same mannerisms.

    I’m not sure what you’re talking about in regards to what I was saying?

    Basically even if someone it talking about the previous acting career, which on the surface should seem credible. It’s really hard to properly judge if the person actually is creditable because of how often Joe will interview uncredible people and spin them as creditable.
    
    Basically Joe’s creditability has be harmed soichbits hard to trust anything or anyone he talks to at face value

    The user you are responding meant “what if that someone that brings up Joe is just talking about his previous acting career?”, not “what if that someone that Joe brings to his show is just talking about his previous acting career?”
    
    I think you read it as the second sentence but it’s quite clear since they quoted your first sentence, not the second one.
