‘He may be on to something…
Podcaster Joe Rogan has once again triggered the “woke” mob with a grim prediction on where America is headed if the cancerous cancel culture movement that has waged a campaign of terror isn’t reigned in and it isn’t going to be a good place.
In remarks during a recent edition of his Spotify podcast, Rogan warned that if taken to its logical conclusion, the “woke” ideology will lead to the total suppression of speech to the point “where straight white men are not allowed to talk.”
Rogan, who last year moved his enormously popular show from YouTube to Spotify in a $100 million deal that gives the platform exclusive rights to the podcast, was engaging in one of his trademark extended, far-ranging interviews, this one with comedian Joe List when the discussion turned to cancel culture.

According to Rogan; “You can never be woke enough,” he said. “That’s the problem, it keeps going, it keeps going further and further down the line. If you get to the point where you capitulate, where you agree to all these demands, it will eventually get to a point where straight white men are not allowed to talk.”
Rogan added; “Because it’s your privilege to express yourself when other people of color have been silenced throughout history. It will be, you’re not allowed to go outside because so many people were imprisoned for so many years. I mean I’m not joking. It really will get there, it’s that crazy.”
He continued; “We just gotta be nice to each other and there’s a lot of people that are taking advantage of this weirdness in our culture and then that becomes their thing, their thing is calling people out for their privilege, calling people out for their position, you know, it’s f**king crazy times.” He said addressing the mythical concept of white privilege.
Predictably, Rogan’s comments were like chum in the water to the “woke” sharks that prowl Twitter.
Can Joe Rogan point to one day in American history where straight white men shut the fuck up?
If you start the clock in 1787 they've had roughly 85,500 opportunities to give it a rest for A DAY, and have never ONCE let the goddamn Earth spin without offering an opinion. https://t.co/ZsIwzZnmCT

Joe Rogan really thinks that straight white men are fighting for their right to continue being allowed to speak? He's that insecure about people in other demographics finally get a shot at an equal voice? What a fucking loser.

Guys like Joe Rogan not being allowed to talk sounds like a win for humanity in general. https://t.co/VWJSTDlvoI

After Rogan signed his big deal, he was welcomed to Spotify by his new co-workers who threw a temper tantrum by threatening to strike unless they were given authority to censor anything in his podcasts that might harm their delicate feelings. Spotify has since removed dozens of Rogan’s podcasts that they deemed to be offensive.
Rogan’s warning on the “woke” cancel culture zealots is the second time in a matter of weeks that he has kicked the hornet’s nest after he dared to suggest that younger people who are in good health should refrain from lining up to take “the jab.”
Teach your children that if Joe Rogan can be cancelled, no one is safe.

Rogan said; “if you’re like 21 years old, and you say to me, should I get vaccinated? I’ll go no. Are you healthy? Are you a healthy person? Like, look, don’t do anything stupid, but you should take care of yourself. You should — if you’re a healthy person, and you’re exercising all the time, and you’re young, and you’re eating well, like, I don’t think you need to worry about this.”
It was a stance that put him at conflict with the Biden administration and Big Pharma and the fallout came fast and furious, including a rebuke by Dr. Anthony S. Fauci who accused him of being socially irresponsible during an interview on CNN.
Dr. Fauci responds to Joe Rogan discouraging young people from getting vaccinated:

While Rogan is likely way to big to be canceled – at least not yet anyway – he has become the sworn enemy of the “woke” revolution that seeks to impose its will on America in a very Maoist way.
