Joe Rogan Blasts ‘Bulls**t Game’ of ‘Pretending’ Everyone Is ‘Hitler’ After Elon Musk Accused of ‘Nazi Salute’: ‘Crying Wolf’
Joe Rogan called out the “bullshit game” of accusing “everyone” of being a Nazi following Elon Musk being accused by critics of giving a Nazi salute at an inaugural rally for President-elect Donald Trump.
Musk giving what appeared to be a Roman salute to the Trump crowd this week has sparked debate between supporters who defend him and critics who insist the gesture was an intentional Nazi dog whistle. On The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan argued that those pretending “everyone is Hitler” are “broken” and not constructively contributing to any conversation.
“This is why they want to conflate and they always want to pretend that everyone’s Hitler. The problem with that is, it just after a while, it’s crying wolf and people are like, ‘Oh, this is a bullshit game you’re playing, and you’re just using it as an excuse.’ Elon has talked about this a lot. He’s absolutely correct,” Rogan said.
People, the comedian and podcaster added, use “woke ideology” as an “excuse to be an asshole” and a way to bring perceived “virtue” into their lives.
“People use woke ideology as an excuse to be an asshole, and it’s really just people that are assholes that are attaching themselves to things that make them feel righteous,” Rogan argued. “So they wrap themselves in this idea to give them virtue and to allow them to say the most awful things about other people that have different perspectives.”
“Horrific unfounded personal attacks,” Rogan continued, only make you “less and less effective.”
“Intelligent and aware people who have control of their emotions recognize that,” he said. “They’re not going to take your perspective seriously, so you’re going to be less and less effective with what you do.”
