You wish to deprive other people of the ability to listen to an entertainer you disapprove of on the platform of their choice, the fact that you're doing it as part of a group doesn't change the nature of what you're doing.

What ever happened to the days when if someone didn't like what was on the Telly\wireless they would simply change the channel\station to watch\listen to something else instead?

Now it seems that many prefer to attack what others like\wish to watch\listen to but they do not, rather than simply watching\listening to what they like and leaving others in peace to watch\listen to whatever they want...

Sadly, "live and let live" seems to have gone out the window in favor of a heavily jackbooted "you can only do what I approve of" approach among certain sections of the population.

You know what, now I'm starting to question whether you actually read what you post, as the only thing that article talks about is Rogan being anti-woke, which in case you haven't noticed, is an opinion I happen to share with him. What am I supposed to be seeing in there to show that he's a bigot like you claim?

Generally the only white men that worry about losing their voice are ones that make comments they shouldn’t.
I’m not worried about losing my voice become minorities are finding theirs.
Yeah he’s just a charming individual.How is it laughable that women were coerced into having sex they didn’t want to advance their career.

So...whats a self-respecting anarchist to do?

Support a radio personality who defies the government?

Or, support a musician who defies a big corporaton that gets rich off of some yahoo who spreads quack medical advice?

Which is...the cooler way to...stick it to The Man? :lol:

Update from the non-racist podcaster:

Quote:

The US podcast host Joe Rogan has issued an apology over his past use of racist language on his popular show.
A widely-shared compilation video showed him repeatedly using the N-word in early episodes of his show, which has been running for over a decade.
The 54-year offered his "deepest" apologies and called his past use of the slur "shameful".
Rogan also apologised for making a racist comment about visiting a predominantly black neighbourhood.
He said he "felt sick" watching the compilation, and wished he could take his comments back

I ended my long-standing subscription to Spotify in summer 2020 over a combination of Rogan getting more of my money than artists I like, and UI changes I didn’t like. I’m pretty satisfied with that decision as I have managed to hop around music streaming providers and constantly get good deals.

While I think it’s fair to say Rogan probably isn’t as bad as someone like Dave Rubin, I am feeling pretty smug that I was ahead of the curve in noticing that he’s a useless dick who is in deeply over his head and has questionable values.

All that being said, Rogan does defend some of his comments as being quotations from Tarantino. While I don’t think there’s anything wrong with quoting Tarantino to discuss the morality of using racial slurs in art or education, I do think you’ve got to be pretty damn stupid to record yourself doing it if you’re not black. Enough people are going to find it objectionable that it could come back to haunt you.

Don’t see any contradiction in people who are anti-establishment criticising each other. People’s reasons for being anti-establishment are varied. Rogan is an MMA commentator who criticises “the establishment” from a conspiratorial right-wing anti-intellectual standpoint. Young and Mitchell are musicians who musicians who criticise the establishment from an anti-capitalist, anti-war perspective. Yeah, they’re going to disagree on things. And lol @ the idea that multi-millionaires are ever truly a threat to the establishment… all of them are part of the establishment.

Are you implying that he's a racist because he's used the word? Cause I've said that word a lot over the years, including here before it was bowdlerized, in the exact same manner Rogan did, for use in discussion. The way we treat it now, like a taboo that can't even be spoken in order to discuss it instead of as a merely offensive term that shouldn't be used casually is absurd and offensive in it's own right, as if black people are so fragile that they'll fall apart if they hear the word or see it written out by someone lacking sufficient melanin in their skin.

Rogan shouldn't have apologized.

I can't wait for people to roll their eyes when the racism accusation comes out, like how people from today react to old accusations of communism. It's coming, we're just not quite there yet.

I suspect the establishment media are secretly fuming over the fact they can't cancel Rogan, and that his viewers will continue to increase even if Spotify did give him the boot.

I hope we've reached a tipping point with this nonsense, but I'm sure they'll have another run at him.

Given he had the largest podcast prior to his Spotify contract (which took him from multiple sources where people could access his work and limited it to solely being Spotify), there's a reasonable chance his audience would actually increase if he was kicked off, as he could simply return to the many other sites he previously used (as opposed to the people requesting the removal of their work, which is decreasing the number of locations where their work can be accessed, and so shrinking their "customer base"\people listening to their work).
