“I can’t be a racist sack of shit and spew hate speech in Canada so I’m not coming!” - a fetid sack of gangrenous anal sphincters.

    Most of us Canadians never have to worry about hate speech laws Joe, because most of us aren’t running around saying hateful, race baiting, genocidal speech. If you worry about hate speech laws getting you, maybe you’re the one with the issue

      That’s exactly it. It’s always hate speech that those who are braying about free speech are trying to protect.

        You want examples of what exactly? Rogan using hate speech? He’s one of those guys that instead of talking hate speech, he’ll invite a bigot on his show, listen to the bigot being a bigot while Joe goes “that’s interesting… I’ve never thought of it that way”

        In any case I’m commenting on his concern with our hate speech laws, which only hateful bigots are ever concerned about. Is regular folk don’t do that kind of stuff

          So no examples of Joe Rogan being hateful, race baiting or genocidal speech.

          You guys dislike him because he will talk to anyone, even people you disagree with if I’m reading things right.

    Please tell me that’s a direct quote because he’s word saladed himself into giving the impression he hates free speech

    I don’t really get the point of Joe Rogan any more.

    As a comedian, he’s okay? He’s probably no better than over a dozen other comics, and his appeal seems to be limited to a certain demographic nowadays.

    As a commentator on MMA, many in combat sports doubt his ability to commentate compared to other, more experienced analysts. Some of his takes are outright biased or bizarre, and while he’d undoubtedly kick most people’s ass, he’s apparently not that active in grappling any more due to injuries.

    That leaves the podcast…which probably has a lifespan that won’t outlast his other grifts. Once the comedy work dries up, the MAGA love-in is gone, and he stops working for UFC I don’t really see what’s left to prop his name up.
