Yeah! Just because a racist, fascist douchebag does a seig heil doesn’t mean you should tell obvious big mean old lies about him being a Nazi!

You tell those woke mind virus victims, Joe!

    long-format, uncensored interviews with interesting people in en era of heavy media manipulation and short form propaganda.

    There seem to be lots of options for that these days. He’s not so unique anymore.

    But he built up such a large audience.

    I use to casually watch select episodes where the guest was someone cool or interesting. And the fringe topics could be fun.

    But now… bleh. It’s all too self aware and shot with bullshit now.

      Sure that’s fair. There is a lot of bullshit from a lot of places these days. You’ve gotta be able to filter it for yourself. You don’t have to agree with every position someone has on every single political issue.

        That’s exactly what I use to do. I’ve never agreed with all his opinions. But it went from “we just have different perspectives” to “I can’t tolerate this nonsense, willful ignorance, etc, etc.”

        He really changed. He went from a lunkhead you could assume had his heart in the right place, even if he said dumb ignorant shit, to someone who’s spreading toxic ideologies that “other” people and sow broad and deep distrust in our institutions. — It’s beyond musing about conspiracy theories and talking about “they.” Now it’s active agenda laden conspiracy proselytization.
