    What russia has done and what it will do

    If they care so much about that they ought to support concessions to end the war, because prolonging it just means russia will get to do more things

      No, you see, if Russia gets Donbass, they will do terrible things to the people there. For the safety of those civilians, russophile traitors though they may be, the territory must end up in the loving, democratic hands of the Ukrainian state.

    And other such online preoccupations of a very serious activist: (CW: misogynistic insult in Tweet)

      In Commonwealth countries, the term isn't considered a slur as it is in the US. Not saying it's appropriate, but if he's actually from Australia, it's worth contextualizing a bit

        True. I'm from a place where it's almost equally like to be a form of affection as gentle derision for blokes in particular. But I thought it better to CW it anyway and his use of it is definitely more in the vein of it's misogynistic legacy.

        I’d even say in the US in the last decade or so it’s become a lot more acceptable. My friends say it all the time, and they’re not the type to casually say slurs. Older people definitely don’t say it often though.

    I do not understand the need to get Joe Rogan to understand this, or, anything.

        this just feels like doing leftist joe rogan except for actual joe rogan. If you're gonna aim for the stars I feel like deplattform Joe Rogan would be about as doable and a lot more useful than "change Joe Rogans mind on this thing"

          You think it’s easier to deplatform (whatever that means lol, how do you deplatform someone who has their own platform) Joe Rogan than change his mind? To paraphrase a tweet I think I saw once, I could convince Joe Rogan he was gay with a 30-min conversation. Someone who voted for Bernie and Trump couldn’t change their mind?

            And it'd last about that long afterwards. Dude has dragnet ideology and that dragnet is whoever he last spoke to.

              And his fan base might hold it a little longer. You didn’t answer how you plan to deplatform one of the most platformed people on earth

                Why would they?

                You didn’t answer how you plan to deplatform one of the most platformed people on earth

                True, my criticism was that Drew Pavlou also didn't lay out any plans as to how to get Joe Rogan to change his mind for good and if you're just wishful thinking, might aswell wish for the better thing

                  Because they’re human beings who’ve been misled rather than a homogenous blob of reaction. This is clearly a pointless conversation so enjoy the fantasy of a world without Rogan, without reaction

    This guy really needs to get bashed a couple more times. I think he's gone fully online though, cause he's a shit removed who will get bashed if he shoots off his mouth in public like this.

    Rogan's opinions are identical to whoever spoke to him last so this will probably work for about 30 minutes
