His use of racial slurs, plus the fact that he keeps platforming reactionaries like Jordan Peterson while agreeing with all the crazy shit they say? Why would anyone think he's not right wing?

after a video compilation emerges
Does anyone have the link?
PS: here it is, you know what this is: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=zrxgU8w_5Hg
is this a bit?
it's because of all the right-wing ghouls he has on his show, of course?
Paraphrasing here but ”Rogan’s podcast is an excellent way to see how the posture of neutrality actually fails to adequately challenge falsehoods and toxic beliefs.”
Why don't you?
I think it’s because he espouses the ideas of a generic rich white person who thinks all their success came from their hard work.
I don’t think he is actually right wing, I think he is way more of the apolitical type who thinks his perspective is new and refreshing.
Why do people think of Joe Rogan at all?
He'll always be Joe Garrelli to me.
Couple years ago I got clips from Newsradio recommended to me on youtube and I thought "Oh yeah, I remember watching reruns of this. I should watch it again." And then I remembered both Joe Rogan and Andy Dick were in it.
If he isn't openly a right winger, his "centrism" and "being open minded" are excellent ways to launder reactionary worldviews to people in an easier to stomach way.
he's too pro immigration
