Can we stop talking about this nobody?
I agree with him, but I'd also agree with my neighbor who probably does something more important than market themselves

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

The finding out stage.
Just what the fuck did all these assholes think they were supporting?
They are so worried about posturing as being masculine, I guess.
Fuck you Joe, this is what you tricked people into voting for.
soon as someone informs him he's too old for the draft he'll move on to his next incorrectly appraised outrage
Don't remove people's agency. Joe isn't some evil mastermind he's just a meathead with a microphone. All those people chose to listen to him of their own free will.
Influencers need no advocats
You can both hate the meat microphone for echoing support and hate the meat sheep for following instructions.
You're right. I do hate everyone.
Joe isn't some evil mastermind he's just a meathead with a microphone. All those people chose to listen to him of their own free will.
Don't remove Joe's either. He's in a situation of his own making.
He chose to be a dumbass meathead who promoted every dumbass grifter that came by and gave him some money to his dumb as shit gullible audience. He cultivated the intellectually incurious as his core audience, then proceeded to shove far right propagandists in their face.
We all knew this would happen, and he was more than happy to support these people until it started having real negative effects. I hope Joe enjoys the products of his career. Namely, being associated with bringing trump to power. I hope he never gets to live it down
He’s also a violent, sexist, racist who joined the Epstein Class when he sold his show to Spotify for a billion dollars.
Don't forget COVID 19 denier who went into a hilarious panic and ran to his walk in medicine cabinet when he got the virus that did not exist.
Do these people have zero foresight at all? Or are they just impressively willingly ignorant?
Yes, and yes.
A quarter of a billion Spotify dollars buys a whole lot of ignorance.
Turns out there's not even a correlation between being rich and being smart.
Also, America is hella propagandized.
Paid millions by russia to sow division. They are enemies of the people
i was waiting for someone to blame russia instead of usa tech oligarchs, late stage capitalist lobbies and aipac money...
Why not both.
well you didn't name both (or all of them), did you? you can pin alot of bad things on the russians, bit this is their own american shit in their own american shithouse.
The draft never left, that’s what the Selective Service is and all men in the US are required to be part of it at 18.
The Service is supposed to be turned off when we are done with the draft.
If only there had been some way to know that Trump would do all this back in 2024.
If only there had of been some sort of document that people could have read.
I cannot tell you how many people thought that Project 2025 was just a "liberal conspiracy theory".
I'd try to tell them it's a PDF they can, you know, download and read, if they had any actual doubts.
Crickets. I know, the idea of getting someone to read something, never mind if they are also some winger, or a low-info non-voter or a reactionary centrist....but still.
Does this talk about drafting citizens to war?
Not as far as I know, I think the only reference to the draft was this one:
The Army no longer reflects national demographics to the degree that it did before 1974, when the draft was eliminated.
There is a bunch of other stuff in there though about military recruitment in high schools, and all high schoolers taking the military entrance exam (ASVAB).
But I can’t read. :’(
This guy is so dense he doesn't get that these people are all chickenshit assholes who have other people fight for them.
He's so dense he makes singularities look like amateurs.
Right? He's so dense he went from hawking propaganda to hawking radiation!
What?!
Like, yeah, rogan is dumb as fuck....
But he's telling them that they should go if they're doing a draft because he knows they won't
For fucks sake man, how did you not get that immediately?
Sure, now he does, but he's been talking about these folks as if they were normal people for a while now; they are not contributing anything except hate, they do not have good intentions, they are not for the people. They are fakers, liars, grifters, leeches, vampires and he supported them through and through.
It's not that what you're saying is false, it's that there's no logical connection to the discussion....
Like you're just saying random things about the subjects of discussion, with no regard to topic
Like, if I said Starlink was causing satellite pollution, and you replied "Elon got his dick mangled trying to make it bigger"...
Even if true, it's just derailing any attempt at conversation, and who really knows if it's true?
If you want to waste time having a discussion about this monkey go right ahead.
If you want to waste time having a discussion about this monkey go right ahead
Even this...
Valid point that this is a waste of time, but if you hadn't typed that it would already be over.
Ranting on the internet is easier than going out on a street corner nowadays and I don't even have to wear the foil hat :P
Exactly the money causes them to be dainty and proper, come hang in slums, we show you how its done
Be woke: https://usmilitary.com/from-18-to-45-a-comprehensive-look-at-us-military-draft-ages/
They will push this shit, after they raised the age, and political dissidents will go to the war front. See Russian playbook.
Joe Rogan doesn’t get to pretend he’s on the other side now and I wish someone would say that to his stupid fuck face
I don't think he has a side other than money tbh. He hangs out with whoever gets his podcast publicity and he agrees with whoever is on his podcast. And once you let a few fascists in, it's gonna be mostly fascists unless you do something about it.
By cultivating radical individualism conservatives shoot themselves in the foot. In their vision of freedom any obligation on the citizen is an outrage.
America is weak.
Who knew that voting in Peter Thiel's Protegé would bring about a billionaire surveillance society and call for a draft in service of them (and for the rest of the Epstein class, of course).
i do not care what joe rogan thinks, says, or does any more than I care what a
Masters of War
Funny how someone like joe has stuck to his guns better than someone like alex jones
