I feel you.

Don’t you like everyone getting a voice though?

Of course, but I don't like elevating pseudointellectuals like Rogan as that gatekeeper.

The Alt-Right Pipeline and all that. I think it's a fair critique at least.

the left is becoming borderline mccarthyist the way they categorize anyone who talks to anyone they disagree with as the enemy

Bunch of limp wristed ideological puritans

Rogan is pretty smart.

He also doesn't present himself as an intellectual. In most conversations he has, he's the non expert on the subject. The only exception really is MMA and stand up comedy.

Quite funny him being an expert on stand-up though, given he doesn't have a comedic bone in his body.

I actually agree I don't really care for his stand up.

But the podcast is good.

I like his stand up and love his MMA commentary.

He’s not a split your sides laughing comedian but he holds my attention is an entertaining way.

I wanted to like his stand up cause I like his taste in comedy, but something about his delivery just puts me off.
