Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan?

  I don’t think he’s QAnon. I don’t think he believes MOST of the nutjobs that he lets on his show, or even cares what they believe. But he lets a bunch of QAnon people on his show, so a bunch of QAnon people listen to him. And he keeps letting weirdos on his show because that’s what his listeners want.

    I don’t think he’s separable from qanon or the alt-right. Enabling them to the extent he does means he’s one of them tacitly, if not officially.

      Posted elsewhere, but what do you call 4 nazis drinking with a 5th person? 5 nazis.

    i meant that the person i know is not qanon, i was responding to “I don’t know but if someone told me they listened to Joe Rogan, I would assume…Worst case is Qanon nut job.”

      Part of this is bad phrasing because you are unaware of the movement but no one knows who Qanon is.

      What people are talking about in this thread are people who follow the movement, and not who Qanon is. Of course your friend isn’t Qanon. That would be absurd.

      But how do you know they aren’t posting on 4chan and following the movement? Is that what you are trying to say, that they don’t follow that sort of thing because you think its a movement that solely rooted in American politics?

        i didn’t mean i thought they were qnon, i meant they are not part of the qanon movement

  i don’t think we have those kind of people here in asia

  qanon is a 4chan/8chan thing that is part of www - that includes people posting from Asian countries. There are definitely Asians on there. There were definitely Asians who went along with that movement.

  I’m Asian too. Has nothing to do with the qanon movement.
