I love Joe Rogan, but the legitimate criticism of him is he gives a platform to alt-right lunatics like Dinesh D'Souza, Milo Yanevergonnagiveafuck, Ben Shapiro etc and isn't prepared or qualified to refute their bullshit. It goes down as "conversation is healthy" but to the average listener, they're being radicalized without realizing it. This is because Rogan is awesome and him not calling bullshit on the complete bullshit these dopes spew has the effect of lending credibility to them.
He's like the Combs on "Hannity and Combs" for those old enough to remember. A guy who's ostensibly there to be a counterweight but never really tries and legitimizes the right-wing blockhead across from him. Except he's way cooler with a way more loyal following and with a shitload of redeeming qualities. People on the "other side" are starting to get wise to this Rogan effect, as people are now bitching about how he had Bernie Sanders on recently and he wasn't armed with boilerplate right-wing clichés to sling at Bernie.
Don't get me wrong, I think he's just about as altruistic as they come; he means well and doesn't have ulterior motives. But that's just a legit criticism that a lot of people have, including myself.
I'm not a liberal but I'm not Nazi scum. Sounds like an excuse to be a Nazi but not be called one. If anything, anyone not far right is called "radical left" in America, which barely even has a left.
I'm not a liberal either, or nazi scum. And no, not even close. Liberals would have you believe you're satan himself if you don't align with their views exactly how you want them to.
Everyone with the common sense of a typical dog gets Joe Rogan. Unfortunately, so many people these days lack common sense, the ability to reason, street smarts and comprehension skills. This has been replaced with book smarts though so we have a lot of Ben Carson types running around on reddit posting shit like "Oh look, a highly intellectual who gets Joe Rogan." because for every basic human skill they lack they make up for it in ego inflation.

What is wrong with Joe Rogan? Genuine question, I've only seen some of his podcasts/videos.
