Joe Rogan will be skipping an upcoming UFC fight because he has zero interest in Canada's "terrible" government, declaring he'd rather go to Russia.

    I hope Canada realizes how lucky they are. It seems this parasite will never leave.

      Please keep telling him we’re worse than Russia.

      (Isn’t “I’d rather go to Russia” still an admission that Russia’s not someplace he’d want to be? How will his handlers take this??)

            You aren’t wrong, but it doesn’t mean what you are doing is right.

            If you want something dirty done don’t pussy foot around it and do it yourself.

              I think if times were shaping up to be different, I would completely agree with you.

              However, it seems like the US is gearing up to start a global conflict the likes of which we haven’t seen for almost 100 years. There is slim opportunity, now, to maybe stop it. Or at least buy whom I would consider to be the allies of a free, open, and democratic society time to prepare a bit further.

              What this means to me is to not worry so much about how others choose to gate keep or endorse whatever it is you have to offer. To me it means all options are on the table, including flipping the table over. If all you can do is a little, do a little. If what you can do is much more, then do much more. But the gatekeeping, the “Why are you doing X, you should be doing Y” from people who are doing neither…

              I know how these things shape up, in my limited and poor experience. It takes a village. It takes many parts.

    It’s actually really handy when right-wing influencers tell Canadians not to listen to them.

      I’m confident he knew he was going to be booed by the crowd if he did come. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if it wasn’t even his decision. UFC probably realized he’d be booed and that would look bad for their broadcast. They could well have informed him that he wasn’t coming, but allowed him to pretend it was his decision.

    I left Spotify because they promoted this turd’s podcast on their platform. I joined Deezer since. I’m also uploading my old MP3 collection to FunkWhale and will probably resume dowloading music the old fashion way.

    I’m thankful I grew up with 90’s-00’s internet lol

    Joe Rogan Experience in a nutshell:

    Guest: batshit insane shit

    Rogan: uh huh, oh wow, that’s crazy, never thought of it like that

    Rogan: also like, here’s my thoughts bro (insert popular opinion here)

    Guest: continues batshit insane shit that contradicts that expressed opinion

    Rogan: I totally agree.

      Don’t forget

      Morons: Rogan is not a right wing propagandist, he has guests from all over the political spectrum.

        Seriously man, I hate hearing: But He’s had Bernie on!!

        yes, a left-winger on a handful of times and basically inundated with right-wing propaganda on the other hand.

        That’s like saying Fox News isn’t right-wing propaganda because they’ve had Jon Stewart and Michael Moore on.

          Also like, when was the last time he had anybody truly left-wing on? Been a few years since he’s had Kyle Kulinski on, but Alex Jones? Book that guy a slot for next Friday.
