Bro, I just drove 15 hours cross country and needed literally anything to help focus. I saw this article and decided to listen to a recent Joe Rogan episode to see what was what.
In the same 5 minutes span, he talks about this and how they’re clearly trying to hide things AND then just blankly accepts that Obama must’ve committed treason because the SAME GOVT that is trying to hide Epstein would clearly not lie or distract with a new claim against Obama.

And in this case of this:
“If Hitler learned about suffering and shortcomings, so the people believed, he would swiftly issue orders to rectify the problem. As in Good Tsar, bad Boyars, pleas for help were directed at the Führer in Berlin, while criticism was leveled at the lower level bureaucrats and officers.”
I think this results in a paradigm that “Hitler-stans” like to explain away his failures (both innate and calculated) assuming that anyone who could so capture the hearts and minds of otherwise reasonable people couldn’t possibly fail so readily in other aspects of leadership.
They do this via the “heroic businessman” trope as well, with no small amount of “my team!” mentality poisoning the proceedings…

“Small government” to them just means fewer people making important decisions. This is largely why religious people are so easily swayed by right wing politics; it requires unquestioned faith in that handful of leaders to do the right thing, which they are already accustomed to in their churches.
“Big government” is when there are too many citizens participating and debating what is actually best for society before making any decisions. Objectively, it’s a much less efficient system, but the added bureaucracy provides checks and balances that prevent any single person from having too much power.

I thought this seemed a paradox too - so I just googled it: "Authoritarians often oppose "big government" not because they dislike all government, but because they see it as a potential threat to their power and control. They prefer a smaller, more centralized government that can be more easily controlled and used to enforce their will, rather than a large, complex system that might offer more checks and balances."

Exactly! This is a prime indicator of cult-like behavior.
Trump never fails, he's only failed by those around him.
Of course in reality a leader who routinely picks staff members who fail, is himself a failure at his most important task. But when people cross over into cultish behavior the leader can never be seen as failing and can easily pass their failures off as someone' else's fault. It's this utter lack of accountability that allows the cult group to accept abuse and extreme underperformance. (See Vladimir Putin)
However Rogan and others claim that Trump is trying to pull one over on them is a challenge to the cult mindset, even if he can't quite bring himself to say it explicitly. Breaking that wall of impunity is really dangerous to a cult's leadership, that's why panic has set in. Look for Trump to go to extremes to keep his hold.

u/True_Paper_3830 29d ago
It's always the same in authoritarian cults of personality. In Germany, even before the war when there was abuses by officials, they'd say 'If only the Fuerher knew'. It's always everyone around the cult leader, but never the leader himself, because they are either in the cult, or fear the leader's power. Like Rogan no doubt does.
In this case it's because the leader has huge power, abuses it, and the likes of Rogan are understandably afraid. This is the guy who helped puff up Trump along with others like Musk to win the election. Musk really regrets it, but not because he's a good guy.

I hate Rogan and don’t think that’s an apt description. He’s intellectually “curious”, from what I’ve seen his whole show is him being curious and exploring different ideas, he’s just not intelligent or discerning or good at evaluating evidence and determining fact from fiction. He’s conspiratorial and easily fooled. But that’s not due to a lack of curiosity, it’s due to a lack of empiricism and intelligence.
Point is, his conclusions shouldn’t be taken seriously. He’s a fool. A curious fool though lol. He’s just not intelligent enough to grapple with the topic he explores.

I truly believe it's some form of mental illness. Almost everyone with that of wealth will take almost any action, including objectively illegal or immoral actions, to acquire more. They gleefully lie, cheat, steal, and exploit other people if it gets them another dollar.
Think of it this way. If a wild animal hoarded more food than it could eat in its lifetime and spent all its time taking food from other animals, scientists would probably dissect its brain to figure out what was wrong with it.
There are exceptions. There are a handful of extremely wealthy people who put some of their money toward the betterment of society. Dolly Parton and Melinda Gates come to mind. But in this case they are the exception, not the rule.

It's because guys like Rogan and Schultz still fucking LOVE Trump. They want that UFC match at the White House. They love that he's always hanging out ilat Mar A Lago. They love that he's fucking around with crypto. They love that ICE is taking kids out of schools and taking men who are trying to go to work and disappearing them. They love "Alligator Auschwitz", they love Concentration camps. They love the Big Stupid Fucking Bill. They love the tariffs that they can't understand. They love that gas is cheaper than ever! (It's up a bit, I believe) They love that inflation is way way down! (It's also up)
They just hate that he's so obviously in the fucking Epstein files because it makes it more difficult to pretend that he's not a fucking piece of shit criminal. All the other shit, Jan 6th, stealing Govt docs, campaign fraud, legit crimes that are difficult to see if you aren't paying close attention, which they aren't.
But this one is easy. If you write a birthday card to the guy that sounds like code for fucking kids, it makes it REAL TOUGH to imagine he wasn't using Epstein to fuck kids. And every new piece of evidence is deadly to his image to these fucking idiots.
They're idiots and now the evidence is so great that even fucking absolute moron idiot assholes can see that Trump was fucking kids.

Yup. Now to make direct comparisons to Nazi Germany back then, when things went wrong - as rights went away or the economy suffered, etc. - there were some Germans who would say “if only the furher knew” - refusing to blame hitler and trying to say that it was his associates and if he knew the truth he’d stop it.

That was also a thing in Russia with Tzars and later Stalin.

Even in April 1945 right after Hitler killed himself and Germany had been completely destroyed by WW2 with millions of Germans dead, it was estimated that about 30% of Germans still supported the Nazi Party and believed the only way the country could recover was if they had a strong fuhrer leading them.
Trump will always have his supporters. Even if it's proven that he raped young girls, his supporters will just move the goalposts. They'll either claim his rape allegations were a liberal deep state smear campaign or that "even though he's a pedophile, at least he supports America and is protecting us from the evil democrats ."
They're in too deep and it's going to be nearly impossible to deprogram them from their cult. In every regime, there's always that 1/3rd of lemmings that will go off the cliff with their leader even if their lives are totally destroyed by that regime

It’s more than appropriate to compare what’s happening to Nazi germany, as ICE are not only acting like Nazis, but concentration camps began as holding areas for Jews they wanted to deport. Hitler also attacked higher education and any media or news outlet that criticized him, just like the Trump administration is doing. There are more than a few similarities between what happened then and what’s happening now and it’s important to point all of them out.

There's an extraordinary documentary called "Beyond Utopia" that follows a North Korean family as they attempt to escape NK. It's a harrowing, months long journey through a modern underground railroad.
Their first stop outside of NK is a humble Vietnamese home. The oldest member of the party, a woman in her 80s iirc, is devastated to find that this average home has running water and interior plumbing.
At first, you think she's realizing what an absolute shithole NK is and is angry. She's angry alright, but she's angry at herself and the people of NK for failing the Dear Leader. She says that if only the people had worked harder and been better for DL then they too could have running water.

This is why I abandoned many of the podcasts and so-called "intellectuals" I used to listen to before the 2024 election. I just couldn’t believe how easily they were conned by Trump and his enablers during the campaign.
They placed all their hope and faith in a literal felon and conman — someone with a well-documented history of lying, grifting, and stealing from charities. And yet, one by one, they just smiled and nodded whenever he announced a policy or idea that happened to align with one of their pet concerns, all while ignoring the batshit insane things he was saying and the violence he was openly promising to unleash. Then they endorsed him. It was unbelievable.
It’s like building a mansion on a swamp, or on a rotting foundation. Come on. These are the same people who constantly talk about “starting from first principles,” and yet they put their faith in a man whose entire life - at least as far as I can tell - has been a monument to fraud and self-interest.

I've always said that Rogan is a 19yo stoner musing on the couch with his buddies in a 50 year old body. If he was actually 19, and sitting on that couch, it would be healthy curiosity. But he's not. He's a 50yo man with a platform that reaches millions. He discovered weed a little too late in life and didn't build up the bullshit meter that most people do after a few years of toking in young life. He's stuck in the "woah dude, check this out..." mode forever now.

I dunno, that description is also dismissive of his intent. Like he can't help it or doesn't realize what he's doing. I think he's fully aware of the bullshit.
He's a 50yr old stoner drop out that hangs out at 19yr old parties because 19yr olds are easier to manipulate for personal gain.
(I haven't fact checked this, so maybe someone out there knows for sure) didn't he promote the horse dewormer, then when he got covid received the best medicine money could buy at the time, then got better and went back to his show and promoted horse dewormer again?

And exactly by Joe Rogan. Who went out of his way to not just promote Trump and all his cronies, but deliberately laundered all his talking points and positions specifically to influence the election.
And it will work on Rogan listeners. Who love to think that because they know Rogan is an idiot, it somehow means they're infallible to an unreliable proxy, and don't understand what intellectual auditing is.
Round and round we go sharing this planet with the terminally fucking stupid.

It will go like this. False names reported. Justice Dept will act quickly and indict the people listed. And it will go straight to detaining them in the camps to "await trial".
The whole thing stinks. We all can see it. Maga will love it because they will get to see people they hate get hurt so they will let Trump off the hook.

dude, trump could write "epstein list" at the top of a random grocery list and MAGA will say "thats all we needed" and drop the matter entirely and tell the rest of us we're stupid fucking idiots. if something needed to be true to support trump, he'd never have made it much further than the GOP nomination.

At least one of the pardoned J6 insurrectionist got re-arrested for being a child sex predator. Iirc I think he even tried to argue that his pardon preemptively covered that too.

“People were like, ‘Why didn’t you push back more?’ My thought was like, ‘I’m just gonna put this out there and let the internet do its work,’” Rogan said. “The guy’s saying there’s no tapes, there’s no video. That doesn’t make any sense. Everyone knows it doesn’t any sense.”
no, they don't, you roided-out micro-penis. you need to fuckin handhold them because in your decade long journey of teaching impressionable plebes to question everything they don't ever question you. you are the mainstream media now. you are the truthsayer to the masses of gullible dunning-kruger missed-abortions.
Rogan is the cause of this bullshit. A soapbox figurehead with a chance to actually hold people accountable but never does. Because he's a coward on a big pile of money.

Rogan, Tim Pool and all those dumbasses are responsible and we know THEY won't take responsibility because that's one page from the book of Trump they'll follow to a T.

u/Lightning4747 29d ago
Reminder that Tim Pool (along with Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson, and others) are literally documented, paid Russian assets. They’ve made millions from a Russian state media company (Tenet).
They aren’t stupid. At best, they’re grifters that know exactly what they’re doing, and more likely, they’re literal traitors. Follow the trails, and time and time again it lands back in Russia. Rogan may be a useful idiot, but 90% of the right-wing content sphere is made up of actual traitors to the United States.

Maybe because they are, in fact, baby brained? The entire MAGA movement believed Trump was some anti-pedophile, anti-elite crusader even though he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, was Epstein's friend and guest over decades and has a long and documented record of treating women terribly. Of course Trump knew about Epstein's abuses - Trump himself probably was involved.
The phone call is coming from inside the house, my red-hatted friends.

They believe they're above the law and entitled to our children.
They're mistaken, they need to be removed from every aspect of society and held accountable for their crimes.
Despite Trump's narcissism this is definitely a THEY. There are at least 100 predators over the decades being protected from prosecution.

Joe Rogan really thinks he’s winning back the left. Remember, this d!ck thinks the answer to homelessness is to go out and shoot them. Don’t forget about the Covid/ Ivermectin grift. He also is super stoked on RFK jr and he now has primarily tech bro billionaires. He and Musk (the Nazi he glazes up every time he’s on) handed trump the presidency on a silver platter. It’s not hard to see whose side he’s on.

Not babies. Willfully ignorant cult worshippers with a dogmatic zeal that allows them to support an orange greasy shit stain on the fabric of humanity. Rogan, bless him, is slowly realizing that he was nothing more than a useful idiot.

He pandered to the lowest common denominator throughout Covid. And anyone that disagreed and spoke up about listening to the experts and scientific fact….he roasted them over the coals.
