Loveable rogue or mouthpiece for misinformation? Why Australian blokes love Joe Rogan
www.theguardian.com
Some consider it their dirty secret, for fear of being cancelled. Others openly enjoy the long-form format. Either way, the US podcaster’s appeal in Australia is undeniable

I thought this article was interesting, in that I am immediately suspicious of the motives of some of people quoted. The conclusion runs counter to what I want to be true, and I’m curious what other people make of it.

Also men: Do you actually feel attacked? I’m not sure I’ve ever seen someone criticised for like being strong and capable, or a good carpenter, or a protective dad or whatever. Is this a real thing? or just something that is used as cover like the traditional values vs violent misogyny terminology.

P.S. Thinking there are hordes of ravenous cancellers waiting in the wings is extremely funny to me. Not exactly beating the allegations that listening to Jo Rogan damages your perception of reality.

    Could you just summarise it because a video is sort of an inaccessible format for public text discussion?

    which state election? Or do you mean federal 3 years ago?

        Nice one for answering naeva’s question. The part with women’s scholarships is something that does hurt a lot of blokes as they have to work harder for the same opportunity.

        Basically left wing progressives are inherently anti-male and anti-white male and social media helps amplify and push these beliefs far and wide because left wing progressives and women are supplying them with easy content

        You’re describing the liberal wing of the U.S. Democratic Party. A “left-wing progressive” would be someone like Bernie Sanders.

        Have a look at this:
