    Take a breath.

    If you run around calling everyone a fascist no-one will take you seriously.

    Rogan is not an elected official nor really active in anything to rise to the level of fascist. He’s a piece of shit moron, but if he’s a fascist that everyone and no-one is.

      I think the big complaint about him is that he is a propagandist that supports fascists.

      Your user name is very telling about why you believe what you believe. You probably say that Elon did a “roman” salute.

      If I wanted the advice of a fascist I would have asked you.

      Goodbye Mr fascist apologist.

        God damn son, you can’t possibly be this stupid. You’re calling me a fascist now lol look at my comment history and realize that my point is more true than ever.

        You are literarily calling everyone a fascist…

          I’d say the opposite seems more true to me. They don’t “call everyone a fascist”, you just counter every accusation with that line, no matter how true it really is.

      I think you are placing the bar for facism a bit high friend. You don’t have to be in government or influential in any way to be a fascist. You can be a homeless person who hasn’t spoken to another person in a year and still be a fascist. You can also be a fascist without believing that you are…

      Fascism is both a set of beliefs taken to an extreme and actions wittingly or not done that furthers the power or reach of an organized group who holds those beliefs. More or less it means facism can be something you do rather than something you believe strongly in. Your rank and file facist is tricked into the position.

      Joe Rogan is either a facist or a puppet/ tool of facists that serves as a algorithm kidnapper into their pipeline to normalize their veiw points. Whether Rogan himself holds these beliefs personally is kind of irrelevant. It is the use to which he has been put and the damage is done.

      So what word would you prefer for someone who intentionally provides a large platform for fascists to spout their rhetoric and misinformation, thus helping them gain power?
