Joe Rogan Shouldn’t be Removed From Spotify.
Now there have been calls to remove Joe Rogan from Spotify. Neil Young has said to Spotify to take down Joe Rogan or takedown him. Spotify opted to take down Neil Young.
First of all Neil Young and CNN and the others are wrong he should not be taken down and here's why.
First of all Joe Rogan is not a journalist or a news commentator. The Joe Rogan Experience is for entertainment, not news. He talks more about hunting, life, and other stuff he does talk about politics around 20% of the time though. He had on was Robert Malone and other doctors to share their views on Covid and he also plans to have other people in support of the vaccine.
Also, this would set a precedent and a slippery slope that will have disastrous consequences. The government should not have the power to decide who is fake news and who is real news nor should Silicon Valley have the power to strip people of their power to have their voices heard. No person or entity should have that much power.
I know liberals who spend 23 hours a day on Twitter, watches Rachel Maddow Steven Colbert every night will disagree with me on this but hear me out. If Trump becomes President again then that means he gets to decide what's fake news if the government had that authority. So be careful what you wish for because soon Steven Colbert and MSNBC will be taken out of the air if the government got to decide what is misinformation under the Trump administration.
I find it very troubling that a plurality of Americans 48% and 65% of Democrats think the Government should take steps to restrict false info online. People are not seeing the bigger picture here and really thinking it through.
It is better to counter misinformation with real information, not censorship. Because in a society with free speech there is a tradeoff with that and that is misinformation from nutcases in their basement and conspiracies.
If you get rid of all of these things then there is no freedom of speech and instead, there is misinformation of the government. I would prefer to deal with misinformation from crazy nutcases than from the government because I and other people actually can speak against misinformation. While from the government they will censor and restrict that speech while crazy conspiracy theorists don’t have the authority to do such things.
However, I did hear that people argue that First Amendment protections don’t apply to social media because they are private companies. However, the government has in the past made contracts with social media companies and cordinated with them to take down misinformation they also have a lot of lobbyists and connections with Senators and Representatives. So Corporate Censorship Is State Censorship because the corporations are running the country.
Anyways on Joe Rogan, I disagree with him on many issues on transgender issues on vaccines but I really like him I think he is a nice guy. He is straight to the point and shares what he believes and is not fake or polished. I also like how he can make anyone feel comfortable talking like a normal person. I think what makes Rogan so popular is that his guests or the host don’t feel fake to people and people relish in it that is what makes him so popular.
The reason why the establishment wants him off spotify and even want his podcast gone is because he inadvertantly became a threat to the oligarchs that rule the United States.
He is no revolutionary he is simply a podcaster but he has invited people on his show that threaten the status quo such as Andrew Yang and is likely to invite on his podcast people who will threaten the status quo that could use Joe Rogan to gain a following and supporters that could threaten corporate rule of the USA and that is something the oligarchs desperately wants to avoid.
They are losing control of the narritive and the public now hates them if someone shows up with a message and a vision the people can beleive in and a strategy to get rid of the oligarchs that can work then the corporate oligarchy and Joe Rogan is a potential powerful outlet to spread that message and vision that can change the course of human history.
I think he handled the controversy very well. He has stated on his instagram that he will have more pro vax people on his show. He pointed out that he is a podcast for talking to people and is not about news. He also pointed out that many things that has been considered misinformation months ago are now considered the mainstream opinion and attacked CNN and other corporate media for misinformation which he is correct on that.

The Joe Rogan Podcast is not a news source it is a podcast for entertainment only, but if I had to pick who to get my news from CNN, MSNBC, FOX or Joe Rogan I will pick the latter without hesitation. That is how bad the Mainstream Media is. These outlets are why many people are anti vax not because of Joe Rogan.
Instead of trying to actually listen to the podcast and fact check every claim one by one and taking time on it MSM just says ban Joe Rogan which just shows how pathetic and lazy they are.
That is all I have to say on the Joe Rogan controversy. My view on Covid right now is a subject for another article so I will end this article here.
