That’s probably a good explanation. Pretty much everyone of these podcasting guru type people start of centrist or leftcenter then once they start to mix with the big leagues and make lots of money, all of the sudden they become right wing figures.

Joe Rogan, Lex Friedman, Andrew Huberman, Bret Weinstein

Man, I miss the r/decodingthegurus reddit sub where we could make fun of and expose these dipshits.

Sigh, Lex Friedman used to be an interesting listen for financial stuff, and now he’s just another MAGA loser spouting bullshit economics

Joe Rogan has made it very clear over the years that he believes whatever people he knows tell him without bothering to check for himself to see whether or not it’s true.

So he may have actually had no idea what Bernie’s platform was.

He used to be pretty progressive and had Bernie on his podcast. He used to be in favour or medicare for all, legalising weed, etc.

idk where he stands now though.

Bernie was criticized a lot for going on the Joe Rogan experience.

I listened to the man until around 2018, by then it was starting to get clear he was becoming increasingly “macho” and elitist so I stopped.

Same. Even saw him and Tony Hinchcliff live in Detroit at one point. Seems like he went hard right after moving to Texas.
