Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

[Noisy noise annoys]

Rogan was right place in the right time. Quickly found a target audience. If it wasnt him it would be someone else. I don’t particularly begrudge him his success but he knows he has a huge following and is continually pulled for talking [Poor language removed] but shows no remorse or accountability and carries on regardless.

It is this that kills me - so much harm being done and not a care in the world

I remember listening to the Tyson fury/rogan podcast someone sent me just before fury wilder I really enjoying it . I then thought I’d listen to a few more of his as I didn’t really know much about him . After an incredibly short time I realised that it was not the podcast for me .

As has been eloquently said it’s the parroting of complete BS which seems completely without consequence and it’s scary .

I had to scroll through their live feed to find a pan-out shot of the crowd at the *major earth-shattering social revolution* and it looks like about 3-6000 people if I'm being very generous. Some aspiring grifters hoping to make it into the larger pantheon of grifting were saying "we expect 100,000 people today".

Not sure why I'm so obsessed with this, but some right-wing "news" outlets as well as some of the speakers (like Jack Posobiec) are still trying to claim that 100,000 people attended this idiotic rally. Absolutely nothing supports this. Here are screen shots of RFKjr speaking, and apparently he was the largest draw of the whole event:

I never put much credence in those depopulation conspiracy theories, but asking blokes to think of Hopkins every time they #ahem# is a surefire way to do it.
