Joe Rogan ist kein Rechtsextremist - das ist schlicht Unsinn! Was er hat, sind extrem unterschiedliche Gäste, die von links, zentristisch, wissenschaftlich, wirtschaftlich bis rechtsextrem gehen. Die Positionen die der Mann selbst vertritt sind meist moderat bis konservativ. Zu sagen dass er deswegen ein Rechtsextremist ist, ist quatsch.

Rechtsextremist geht mir persönlich auch zu weit, aber er ist sicher auch nicht nur "meist moderat bis konservativ":

It is about exposing who Rogan really is and admitting that his brand of conversation, which at times traffics in conspiracy theories, cultural intolerance and blatant racism, attracts millions of avid listeners and corporate sponsors hungry to advertise their wares to such followers. Rogan is, in fact, an agent of these social ills, which he packages and sends out to his audience clothed in the language of moderation and moral equivalence. For example, in addition to his uses of the n-word, Rogan has made waves by suggesting that because “you can never be woke enough … it’ll eventually get to [where] White men are not allowed to talk.” Rogan laughed uproariously when comedian Joey Diaz, one of his guests, described pressuring women into performing oral sex on him. Rogan has horribly and deliberately misgendered a trans MMA fighter. He’s discouraged young people from getting the Covid-19 vaccine, hosted guests who question its validity and given a platform to climate skepticism from controversial clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson.[...]

Rogan also seems to delight in contradicting himself, posting a now-deleted tweet in 2012 to add fuel to the false birther conspiracy theory about President Barack Obama while also proclaiming Obama to be the best president in his lifetime and insisting that Michelle Obama could defeat Trump in a presidential election.

In another episode Rogan said aired 11 years ago, he recalled being accidentally dropped off in a predominantly Black neighborhood in Philadelphia with some disbelieving White friends. He likened the situation to being in “Planet of the Apes,” the 1968 science fiction classic starring Charlton Heston as an astronaut who travels in time to a future earth ruled by intelligent simians. Rogan’s comparison of Philadelphia’s Black community to the “Planet of the Apes” is morally reprehensible, politically indefensible, and yes, racist.

Joe Rogan biedert sich permanent bei konservativen bis rechtsextremen Amerikanern an und gibt dabei vor, eigentlich nur ein moderater Konterpart zum linken Mainstream zu sein.
