Following that logic, it means you were watching him in 2020, when he first interviewed Sanders? Around this time, Joe said he was voting for Bernie Sanders.

Anyway…

All is well, peace.

Here is a related video on Joe Rogan. I posted it on this community two days ago.

It gives background on Bernie Sanders first appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience.

Why Joe Rogan Ditched the Left – And What It Means for America [15:07 | NOV 13 2024 | 51-49 with James Li]

Yes, Joe Rogan was for Bernie Sanders in 2020.

Again, the video explains it in simple terms.

I do have a community for his show.

I only post viral or interesting interviews that I think people should watch and not be afraid to listen to.

To restate, I am not afraid to listen to and learn from non-status quo sources or dissidents.

Feel free to see my communities and videos I share.

I try to avoid self-built echo chambers and self-censorship, as we all should strive to achieve.

And the guy pushed COVID misinformation, among other conspiracy theories, to millions of his followers. Guy is no better than the propaganda machine he claims to be against.

The video went over the ‘misinformation’ smear by the MSM.

Putting aside conspiracy and conspiracy theories.

Again, it is political tribalism.

Divide and conquer strategies work to continue to divide the working class.

In this case, it was another of the “are you for or against [insert boogeyman]” (Joe Rogan/COVID restrictions).

Makes me wonder if he ever supported “the left.”

Well, the video explains how Rogan was on ‘the left’ to a degree (when he supported Bernie’s populist policies).

The mainstream media propaganda works; that is why they spend so much on media and politics.

Divide and conquer: the working class is always being divided with political tribalism; another example would be the duopoly.

Joe Rogan advocated for working-class issues, nowhere near what Bernie Sanders spiel is, but they were populist issues.

Now, we know the Bernie Sanders experiment failed, or he only wanted to go so far, similar to Justice Democrats.

No one is pretending here.

They are all capitalist and imperialist governments, but the United States has relied on forever wars to enrich our oligarchs and fund mass murder.

Military leaks and listening to independent journalists can help enlighten us all.

Soft versus hard imperialism—there is a difference.

The Western regimes are the aggressors and the cause of escalation, United States foreign policy being the major player.

The United States took over this role after the British Empire declined in WWII.

True, he is in the tech-bro (oligarchy) bubble of admiration and no pushback (or if any, only minor pushbackand criticism).

Living under a rock?

The working class loves him and his podcast.

Russia invaded Ukraine, not the other way around. Russia was violating international law doing this, invading a peaceful neighbor without provocation, and has since committed numerous war-crimes.

This is the Western regime’s decades-long geopolitical ambitions in the making.

Years versus decades, it is important to know the history and the causes of escalation.

If you would like to learn about non-Western propaganda, check out Professor Jeffrey Sachs. There are also independent journalists that I have shared that lay out the politics and geopolitical events that lead us to this conflict.

In a similar aspect, if you check out the history of Israel-Iran, US-China, and other countries in the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa, you will learn they share a common backing regime and geopolitical goal: the US.

You are not just wrong, your post simply reeks that you are brainwashed by Russian propaganda. And I mean seriously brainwashed, because your arguments are decidedly against the facts to a degree you are not even making sense.

It is no surprise anything critical or contradictory to the Western propaganda narrative gets labeled the boogeyman (bots, trolls, puppets, shills, etc.), similar to the China and Iran escalations.

If you are serious about learning much more, we must always be critical of our own governments’ propaganda and be willing, not scared, to learn what is being said of dissenting views and sources.

Thanks for being willing to reply and have a small chat, even if we don’t agree on the history and true intentions of the escalations.

Palestine is a genocide; they have no army and are in an imprisonment surrounded and controlled by Israel and Western forces fully supporting it.

Ukraine has an army with Western/NATO backing and CIA and MI6 intelligence as well, similar to Israel.

This is the Western regime’s decades-long geopolitical ambitions in the making.

We are now at war with Iran and heading to war with China as well.

More forever wars where securing important resources is the main goal in exchange for the working classes’ mass murder and death.

Quick thoughts:

When Democrat pedophiles are outed, they’ve been kicked out; Republican ones just get overlooked by their party and re-elected.

I don’t think it is out of some sort of greater good. On the blue team, I see it as them being cowards and not willing to risk the scandal, letting those that get separated or kicked out from the herd get eaten.

The red team is similar in that aspect; if they stray and cause a scandal, they will let them be eaten by wolves unless they have backing, then they may be forced to help out to keep on good terms.

The major difference is when the politician has populist backing. We can see this with some politicians when their base goes full force in going against the party line and sticking with their politician.

Trump and his backing accomplished this feat. The Republicans were against him, but he had his MAGA backing to keep him from being eaten and taken out by the party; they did try, though. Not to mention he is also an oligarch with backing, so in some aspects it may be corporatists versus oligarchs.

Kamala was a corporatist, and Trump was an oligarch.

Voting the lesser of two evils quotes:

1. “There’s a terrible danger in voting for the lesser of two evils because the parties can set it up that way.” – Hunter S. Thompson
2. “The two-party system is a bad joke on the American people; when it comes to Republicans and Democrats, remember they are two sides of the same coin. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil and not an answer to our problems. A vote for a Republican or a Democrat will not fix anything and is a wasted vote.” – Aaron Russo
3. “Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.” – Jerry Garcia.
4. “Voting for the lesser of two evils is voting for your own enslavement.” – Gerald Celente
5. “Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” – John Quincy Adams
6. “If you always vote for the lesser of two evils, you will always have evil, and you will always have less.” – Ralph Nader

but when we have a dictator in the White House, the political divide factor can’t be ignored either.

The only difference is that Trump is open with his dictator ways, but do not mistake that the duopoly will always work to help themselves and to let the working class die off.

Interesting take.

Thanks for taking the time to explain your thought process and how you arrived at certain conclusions!

Sadly, it won’t stop until the last Ukrainian is sent to the front lines to die.

The West Regime continues to use smaller countries as pawns to further our geopolitical ambitions and to enrich our oligarchs.

liberals are not blind followers willing to overlook any sin

It seems you confused liberals with leftists.

Liberals are the vote blue no matter who peeps.

Putting aside the divide-and-conquer strategies of political leanings, I think we should focus on uniting the working class on the economic issues we agree on rather than waste our time debating what we don’t agree on.

Chris Smalls achieved uniting the working class in an Amazon warehouse in Staten Island when the Amazon Labor Union (ALU) was formed.

We all get emotional on certain topics; it is understandable.

All is well, peace.

Check out Highlights section.

Only five points.

Political tribalism works.

We must stop falling for the divide and conquer strategies of the duopoly (lackeys of the oligarchs).

“I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.” – Frederick Douglass

Instead of fighting over political leanings, try to hear what their arguments are and see where you agree.

This will help us be willing to discuss and unify all working-class people on what views we share instead of just focusing on what we don’t agree on.

TLDW to TLDR…

A generated summary is included in the body.

I can’t help you more than that; I thought I made it easy enough to know what the video is a bit about.

Random thought I was reminded of:

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink
