Are we all fucked?

Rogan has massive influence over who knows how many tens of thousands of impressionable youths who think that he is the absolute man that he presents himself to be.

Isn't this the same type of argument used against Marilyn Manson at the time of the Columbine High School shootings? Granted these are different times with most online now + social media amplifies as you said but this still doesn't sit right with me. I agree with the push back against Spotify regards their military investing and extortionate ways they treat artists. Not a fan but I've watched some Rogan podcasts and his latest response to all this seemed reasonable enough to me.

My pessimistic view on all this is these impressionable types, if it's not Rogan, it's someone else or some group that they will cling onto, these peoples viewpoints are somewhat already set in stone, via parents/environment way before they latch onto social media and podcasts. Remember reading how the majority of peoples viewpoints just get reinforced after arguing/debating so all seems kinda pointless.

Manson never told anyone to murder anyone, afaik. Rogan, many times implicitly, and at least once explicitly, said that if a young man asked him whether he should get vaccinated, he would tell him no. And he's also not creating art, which makes it a whole different ball park. He made it into a badge of honour not to be vaccinated. Manson never did that with murder, notably not being a murderer himself. A rapist though, as it transpires!

true, all valid points good sir. We cannot shelter the people who are in the running for the Darwin awards from the beast that is the internet I'm afraid. I mean...on the other hand there's a very small....slight chance that the anti-vaxxers are right and they will laughing their heads off when we've successfully eliminated ourselves from the gene pool after our 10th booster shot

If only we could figure out a way to cure sleeping we'd be twice as productive.

Wouldn't we be happy then - twice the profits!!

Yes we are....

The irony of this fucker Trudeau's behaviour is unreal.

Watching World At War recently and the narrator line that comes back to my mind today is from the 1938 type episode -> "Many watched on in horror but in the end, did nothing."

Was that the French again?

It's always the french. Macron must feel foolish now.

This however, is not good news (EDIT: Journalist now deleted tweet)
