Two Joe Rogan Videos on Woke Madness

Saturday, October 29th, 2022

A double-shot of Joe Rogan videos on woke culture to start your weekend. First up, Rogan and Coleman Hughes (formerly a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and contributing editor at City Journal) discuss the poisonous nature of social justice’s push for equality of outcome.

  • Asians in San Francisco got tired of being called “white supremacists” and rose up to throw the woke off their school board.
  • Hughes: “You can’t just shut people up by calling them racist.”
  • Rogan: People don’t want to be “boxed in by these crazy type of rules, where they’re getting rid of gifted classes. And they’re making, you know, a lottery, which is the craziest fucking idea I’ve ever heard, for people to get into colleges. That’s nuts. Like, what what is the purpose of working hard? You’re supposed to reward people. This idea of a equality of outcome, Jordan Peterson talks about this a lot, like how dangerous it is to have equality of outcome.”
  • He brings up sport as a great example of meritocracy.
  • Hughes: “If you think about the NBA, [very few] people are upset at LeBron James and Kobe Bryant…[They aren’t bothered] that they make so much money, because you can see how much better they are than you at the thing, and you know that the process by which they got from A to B is untamperable, right? There [is] no paying your way into being great in the NBA.”
  • Rogan: “In there’s certain areas that have been stagnant. And when people talk about equality, that’s where it’s all fucked. It’s not all fucked in equality of outcome, it’s all fucked in equality of opportunity.”
  • And of course, pretty much everything “social justice” does makes all those inequalities of opportunity worse.

    For the second video, Joe Rogan and Tim Kennedy (the retired professional MMA fighter out of Austin we touched on here) discuss the insanity of woke culture and gender pronouns.

    Ted Cruz/Deadspin Follow-Up

    Thursday, January 26th, 2017

    After Ted Cruz pwned Deadspin, the rag’s previously quiescent editor Tim Marchman inexplicably started talking smack.

    Keep in mind that Marchman had not exactly been an active tweeter before:

    But this did not deter him:

    This was odd for a number of reason, not least of which is that after you’ve been brutally pwned, it’s best to not draw attention to how badly you’ve been pwned. If you’re Marvis Frazier, and Mike Tyson has just put you down for the count 30 seconds after the opening bell, the last thing you should do is start bragging about what a badass you are.

    But that’s precisely what Marchman did:

    Like his minion’s original Cruz tweets, it appears that Marchman did not think his cunning scheme all the way through:

    Tim Kennedy is a retired professional MMA fighter out of Austin whose record was 24-18.

    Strangely, since then Marchman’s Twitter feed has gone silent again…
