    Default Joe Rogan Apologizes...Again

    So some race baiting lunatic recently posted to social media what is basically an n-word highlight reel of Joe using this word at various times during the last 12 years of his podcast. Of course absolutely no context is provided. It's more of the same disingenuous tactics used by the same cynical actors that have been perpetuating the same bullsh!t for the last year or so.

    Joe of course never once called anyone an n-word. Not once. He only used the word in a descriptive sense when explaining various things, like Richard Pryor's album titles for example. I won't delve into every example but they're all in that spirit.

    I said a couple days ago, after his last misguided apology re covid, that the blood was in the water now, and the sharks would soon be circling. Well they're circling alright.

    First he's a covid denier. Now he's a racist. Of course. It couldn't have been any more predictable. It's page one of the radical left's playbook.

    Well Joe has apologized yet again. A truly boneheaded move on his part. First of all, he did nothing wrong and therefore had nothing to apologize for. Second, even if he did do something wrong, you never apologize to the enemy, as Steven Crowder explains here. They are not interested in Joe updating his thinking and they're not interested in working with him in the future; they are only interested in gaslighting him and manipulating him into an apology to gain ideological power and highground.

    Joe has just metaphorically bent the knee to the mob twice now..in a matter of days. First for the covid thing, and now this. It makes me physically ill to watch it.

    Here are a couple takes on all this, one by Crowder and one by Sam Harris..both basically agreeing with my take here. Joe's apology is in the Crowder vid.

    Sam drifts off into covid briefly, where his opinions - in my view - are painfully obtuse. But I generally find him to be sane and grounded in every other way

    His apology made me cringe. It's one thing to say "I apologize if I offended anyone; that was not my intent." I wouldn't have had so much of a problem with that, despite its weakness, but the way he apologized was just pathetic, and frankly, wrong.

    I'm not sure what form exactly the second apology took re the N word attack but the first one was (from memory) 'sorry you feel that way' - kind of thing rather than sorry for what I did... in fact he defended what he said and did... and pointed out he was taken out of context with the racism one... that attack was a very well organized move from 'the enemy'... there's more about that in this post on the other thread about Rogan...

    https://projectavalon.net/forum4/sho...=1#post1481111

    It's up to Joe Rogan to say and do what he feels is best at the time and under the circumstances IMO... that's where I stand on this...

    The saying 'you can please some of the people all of the time...etc etc...' comes to mind...

    But anyway he's ok and according to this InfoWars article, in a good place...

    https://www.infowars.com/posts/joe-r...-been-happier/

    Quote The comedian is excited to represent a symbol of free humanity and a truly authentic expression of dissident thinking against regime orthodoxy in these unprecedented times.

    Indicating that he will share more good news on his podcast soon, Rogan remains ever the happy warrior.

    He’s invigorated, audacious, and he’s not going anywhere.

    The truth is if you are a straight white man you can absolutely NEVER be woke enough. No matter how much Rogan apologizes, removes content or defends himself it will never be enough. I understand Rogan coming out once and apologizing, it was a naive ill-advised response to those seeking power through the use of race and victimhood. Apologizing a second and third time and removing content shows a true lack of understanding.

    To my knowledge, Rogan is not politically left or right he is a man that allows different viewpoints to flourish and encourages people to critically think so they can make up their own minds. This is his power and this is why he is a danger to the politicians, media and the elites.

    You hit the nail directly on its head. Listening to the second and third apology, I honestly think the dynamic afoot here is something Joe might not understand.

    Rogan, just a podcaster, gets crucified for saying the N-word, even though it was out of context.

    Now this has surfaced, of the President of the United States doing the very same thing in context. The question is - what now?!

    In my humble view, an apology is no good. He should step down immediately.

    Thanks Paula. I retract the "in context" remark. The clip was in fact him saying the words out of context. But doesn't that still count? According to the wokists, it still very much counts. Ask Joe Rogan.

    Also, re Biden:

    Wow, gotta love Adesanya! That dude is just awesome.

    The n-word is a harsh, dogmatic word, loaded with a brutal history. I'd prefer no one say it ever again, but it's here to stay and and it's inevitable that we bump into it from time to time. And it's also inevitable that the bumping into it will sometimes be clumsy and awkward. But it should be clear to anyone with just a modicum of intelligence that Rogan is a good man caught in a deliberate political attack. That's all this is about. Everyone knows that, but in this day and age it's considered socially advanced to pretend he's racist. We've become a planet of actors, and it's just the strangest thing. I really have the greatest difficulty trying to wrap my head around it

    That singer, Indie Arie, who put out the Rogan video, shame on her. She's just perpetuating the ruse and making it harder on all black people, ultimately. If she truly had an issue with Rogan she should have approached him back channel, opposed to the public grandstanding. Any sincere individual seeking authentic dialogue would have done that
