will no longer be defined by or asked about his cancelation from his band;
and that the experience of leaving something he loved so much in order to be free, would be the least interesting thing about him.
Until that day.. 👇
Yes, I will die on this hill. You cannot buy authenticity and love. The reason people *love* Joe Rogan is because the conversations he has on his podcast reflect the conversations that people have in real life.
For starters, the format. It's long and searching and not set up
Life in Singapore (243 cases, 0 deaths) has pretty much returned to normal.
People are walking around, mostly without masks. Shops & restaurants are open.
Big events & school activities such as tournaments were canceled, but schools remained open unless there was a case.
The lessons of the past two years for me was the complete and utter destruction of institutional credibility and the politicization of truth itself, by the very institutions (media) tasked to uncover it. My sense of the world broke in a way that hasn't recovered (and won't).
Well it's a private company so if you don't like it, you can always...
"create your own social network"
"create your own app ecosystem"
"create your own payment system"
"create your own Web hosting service"
"create your own power company"
"create your own... country."
Ok so if context doesn’t matter at all and when “misinformation” didn’t work to deplatform Joe Rogan so they resort to “he’s racist,” surely… surely the standards will apply equally on the usage of the N-word, correct?
Behold,
@TYT
Ideologues have a continued interest in perpetuating racial rifts and making sure the racial pain is never solved so that they can sell you the cure, which is a Revolution.
China is requiring a mandatory app that is ostensibly for "health monitoring" for all Beijing Olympics participants, media and govt officials.
As you'd expect, it turns out to be spyware that records everything said.
Have fun at

So the Mexican national soccer team has been fined by FIFA for their fans' "homophobic chant" using the word 'puto'.
Funny priorities there, considering the next World Cup is in Qatar, where being gay is illegal.
It’s curious why
@libsoftiktok
poses such a threat to the blue-check intelligentsia by simply signal boosting self-uploaded TikTok videos.
Why? Because it is holding up a mirror to the absurdity of a certain kind of activism that is self-refuting to people with common sense.
I'm a centrist: I hold some conservative views and some liberal views.
But I'm more afraid of talking to my liberal friends about my conservative views than I am talking to my conservative friends about my liberal views.
Billionaire sends email on Saturday saying no more funding, Penn capitulates on Sunday.
So this whole time, the billionaire class had the power to abruptly change university policies?
And didn’t think to do so when free speech was under assault? When CRT ate the humanities?
Jon Huntsman, in an email to
@Penn
President Liz Magill, says the “university’s silence in the face of reprehensible and historic Hamas evil against the people of Israel…is a new low.”
“Consequently, Huntsman Foundation will close its checkbook on all future giving to Penn.”
This conflict weighs so heavily on me. I have Jewish friends and I have Muslim friends. I have a deep affinity for Israel and for Arab culture, and do a lot of work in the Middle East.
But let’s be clear about some things. Anti-Israel + Pro-Palestine demonstrations erupted…
Sometimes I wonder if the culture has just stopped...frozen and stunted in development.
The '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s all had unique styles and personalities, innovative vibes with distinctive charm. These past 20 years seem like one blurry long chunk of utter garbage.
Reminder: Legacy media and podcasters are competitors.
Every minute someone is consuming Joe Rogan is a minute they aren't watching CNN or Fox News or listening to The Daily.
Ok I waited 24 hours.
Can I whatabout now?
Can I point out the insane media hypocrisy now?
Can I point out how the race hustlers are back at what they do best?
Can I point out how the condoning of political violence has been ratcheting up for the past few years?
The videos coming out of China show that the simmering rage has now reached a boil. What triggered it? Sure there's the growing frustration with gratuitous Zero Covid lockdowns, but the timing of the World Cup is revealing.
In live broadcasts, Chinese citizens saw large crowds
It takes a special person with an inflated sense of self and narcissism of grandiose proportions to act as self-appointed gatekeepers of a sartorial cultural derivative.
Human progress relies on open cultural exchange & development. These people are REGRESSIVES.
Dear Professor Kendi,
Comparing what it took to fire Lawrence Summers (white male) vs Claudine Gay as president of Harvard, your own thesis here has been disproven.
One was a former US Treasury secretary and economist; the other was a serial plagiarist in a dubious academic…
The question is whether all these people would have investigated, surveilled, harassed, written about, and attacked her in the same way if the Harvard president in this case would have been White.
I. Think. Not. 3/4
Can’t think of a better way to overcome China’s state-induced collective amnesia on the Tiananmen massacre than to make

Tank Man’s futile defiance endures as symbolic of the yearning of the human soul to be free.
Jewish leftists supported:
- DEI programs where diversity and inclusion clearly didn't extend to Jews
- Critical Theory curricula, even though it was obvious to anyone that Jews would be lambasted as ‘oppressors' under such a framework and equity would be used to brazenly…
I'm sensing that the backlash to woke excess is growing. People are plainly seeing the race-baiting by the media. Parents & teachers are publicly speaking out about CRT in schools. Anything that wokeness has corrupted is plummeting in ratings - Oscars, NBA, etc.
There's hope.
In the year 2023, a huge crowd of people holding Palestinian flags outside the Sydney Opera House in Australia are chanting “gas the Jews.”
They’re just resisting occupation, guys!
When you reach the apex of artistic and commercial success and are one of the most famous people in the world, only to find out that the new currency for status is victimhood, this is what you do when you're a narcissist:
The Patriarchy continues to try to crush my neck with their heavy boots, cut off my life force and take away my voice—Even those who call themselves artists..............You know who you are!!! DEATH TO THE PATRIARCHY! Now and Forever.

While I am pro-choice myself, I also see the argument that it’s absolutely not something the courts had the right to decide 50 years ago in the manner they did. The lesson here: if you live by judicial decision, you can just as easily die by it too.
He has disrupted the hold that corporate power players & political leaders have on public opinion. What all of this is, is a smear campaign of a good man.
It's something I can confidently say. And if you don't stand up for him, there will be no more disruptors.

Frame this.
And let this be a warning to stay grounded to first principles. If you don't, you have no anchor in stormy waters. So you get caught out as a naked partisan, unmoored to any philosophical foundation.
What's worse than being dumb? Being a hypocrite.
Everything about BLM was a complete farce, fraud and tragedy.
This is a movement that coalesced around a falsehood. It led to real world consequences. The leaders lavished themselves with luxury properties. Their leading scholar mismanaged funds and failed to produce research.
I used to be into vaccines, but then I just happened to watch one Joe Rogan episode and now I'm injecting DMT into my veins every day and swinging kettlebells.
Horrified by the removal of several sculptures commemorating the Tiananmen Square massacre in Hong Kong.
Grateful to live in a great country where this sort of erasure of history would never happen.

Women will post this shit and then wonder why the entire planet and every major religion has imposed strict social restrictions on their sovereignty since the dawn of time in every place humans have ever lived
I was trying to take a selfie but some people were standing in the way.
Then I realized that coughing violently while Asian works great as a crowd dispersion tool these days.
In the early 2000s when I left Singapore for America, most Singaporeans admired the US.
My sense being back here these days is that not only is it no longer true, there's a considerable amount of contempt for America due to its cultural export of woke garbage.

If you watch Fox, you'll believe that the Epstein scandal is all about Bill Clinton.
If you watch MSNBC, you'll believe that the Epstein scandal is all about Trump.
I'm sick of tribalistic agenda-pushing by the media. This story is about justice for the girls he raped & abused.
Taking a hiatus from social media in order to deal with some personal matters 🕊
Supposed to be celebrating my dad's birthday today but instead, it's his funeral. I don't know how to process any of this. I'm numb and in shock, and need time and space.
See you on the other side.
This logic doesn’t make sense to me.
If all white Australians are to blame for the NZ terror attack, then who exactly is implicated whenever there is an Islamist attack?
I don’t think the writer thought this one through.

Asians teach to the highest performing students.
Westerners teach to the lowest performing students.
The former can be unforgiving, but it rewards excellence. The latter is compassionate but rewards mediocrity.
“The future is Asian” - both because of demographics & culture.
Back in NYC for just 24 hours since moving out. Have no idea how I tolerated living here for 3 years. The filth, the people density, the lack of space.
Did I change or did NY change? Probably both.

This is the “dangerous” man the media has been warning you about.
Maybe, just maybe, if mainstream media could embody the same epistemic humility, open-mindedness and grace, they would be just as trusted and their viewership ratings wouldn’t be a fraction of Joe’s.
kind of corporatized, political establishment bias. That shit is contrived and people can smell it, but it's all we get from legacy, mainstream news sources.
That is not how real people speak or learn about the world. This is why Joe has 50 million views per episode vs. CNN's
Stunningly ignorant.
It takes a corrupted mind to attribute every single assault on Asians to white supremacy. This is the conspiracy theory that faces zero pushback from the mainstream media. In fact, peddling it gets you TV shows and Pulitzer Prizes.
Black on Asian crimes only occur because of our system of white supremacy that strips African Americans of their economic opportunities while taking respect and dignity away from Asian Americans. Also, white people in power are experts at dividing and conquering to stay in power.
The fact that nascent America partook in sins that virtually every society on earth also indulged in is not evidence of permanent moral failure but evidence of the uncivilized and barbaric human condition from which we have emerged.
It’s a reminder of how far we’ve come, how

What those in power loathe the most is not only a purveyor of narratives that they cannot control, but that JRE, through organic support and love, is increasingly able to dictate the news agenda.
Today marks 5 years since Mr. Gibbs came into my life.
He's 10 years old. Which means as we go into 2022, I'll be the human he has spent the most time with.
I still don't know who gave him up or why. But whoever you are, thank you. He's the greatest gift of all.
It starts with: "you cannot express those ideas"
Then it moves on to: "you cannot even think those ideas"
Then: "you cannot even *know* those ideas"
This is why they're removing pro-democracy books from HK libraries. To "de-program" minds.
I always thought the muppets were originless and that that was the point. Then came the muppets based on marginalized identities - gay, HIV-positive.
Fine. But ever notice that Oscar has been living in a trash can for decades and not once have they lifted him out of poverty?!
NYC has tipped so far into elevating “squatters rights” because (tenants = victims) and (landlords = oppressors) that the laws have emboldened the brazen behavior of squatters. It has now resulted in murder.
Police are looking for two who murdered a woman who traveled from Spain…
Whenever I ask Trump voters why they’re voting for him, one of the most common reasons given is: “media hypocrisy red-pilled me.”

How:
- travel restrictions (they did this early)
- isolated infections
- aggressive contact-tracing procedures
- levied tough penalties for not following quarantines
- punished those who provided false info
- effective communication that struck right balance
- full transparency
racist bone in his body. He's being defamed while they throw the kitchen sink at him. First they tried to get him for Covid19 misinformation, laying the probable cause of thousands of deaths at his feet. That didn't work.
Next they tried to accuse of him of racism. And if this
White people vote for Trump: this points to the power of white supremacy

The amazing thing about Critical Race Theory is that no matter what happens, it always gets confirmed!
top news show which gets 400K views. Being humble in search of truth and disarmingly funny in the process is an approach that appeals to the every day person. Has he said things over 12 years and thousands thousands of hours that might be inappropriate today?
Sure. Who hasn't?
Was short on time this year to fix up a costume for Halloween so Gibbs and I went as Amber Heard and the little doo doo that she left in her marital bed.
Banning TikTok doesn’t go far enough.
Think of the litany of US companies banned in China.
Time to adhere to a policy of reciprocity. National security issues aside, the asymmetry allows a closed authoritarian system to exploit the openness of ours.
It’s done enough damage.
Do we see evidence of racism in conversations or did we need a manipulative, dishonestly-edited video to make the charge? What's Joe's arc? Does he show signs, over the years, of adapting to the new social mores?
As his friends will no doubt attest, Joe does not have a
For all the dudes out there. Society has traditionally been averse to talking about these issues you face, but I think this is changing.
It's also a reminder to check in on the men in your lives - brothers, sons, dads, husbands, friends, uncles, grandpas.

I literally had to stop the JRE interview 20 min in to calm my heart rate down. It was either my autism or the "Miami Cola"

WTF is Miami Cola anyway... isn't it just a euphemism for cocaine?
Anyway, going to blame the BANG.
“There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal.
While the first is the condition of a free society, the second means a new form of servitude.”

Look I know you hate legacy media. You see Tucker as an avatar of renegade journalism staking out unorthodox positions and seeking truths unsanctioned by the establishment.
Fine. Interviewing a sitting world leader is itself part of the job description. But that same world…
The best thing about the internet is that people who felt completely alone can find a community that shares their worldview and organize.

If the West falls, it will not be the values of openness, tolerance and democracy that replace it.
It will be authoritarianism and intolerance. Imagine China’s system, but everywhere.
