Big dumb whiny baby Joe Rogan is at it again, and this time he is more ignorant than ever. Now, I know what you are thinking, "come on bro, it does not get much more ignorant than Joe Rogan. I mean, the dude said a strengthened immune system could beat covid for crying out loud." Yeah, that was a doozy, but it is nothing compared to his recent statement. Rogan has now officially jumped on the good old straight white male oppression bandwagon that conservatives have been riding high on ever since Barrack Obama announced his candidacy for president some fourteen years ago. White conservatives love to play this card; it is the same card they have used for centuries to justify every crime they have committed. It is an uninformed appeal to emotion that has no basis in fact whatsoever; the idea of minority hegemony has always been a myth ever since the fascists used it during world war two. But it is an effective myth for as people continue to lose their jobs or not to be satisfied with the wages of their jobs they will seek to place the blame not on themselves, but elsewhere. It becomes quite easy for a corporate thug to redirect the anger you should be feeling toward them back at your neighbor, who most likely lost their job as well. The odd thing about paranoia is that wealth only seems to exacerbate it; the wealthiest nations in the world are currently waging propaganda wars on one and other and therefore it only makes sense that corporations do the same. This atmosphere is rife with paranoia about worker uprisings that, in actuality, are quite overdue. Many of the marches and protests we have been horrified by on television were really just working people asking for a fair shot at the American dream, people who were so broke that they had nothing to lose. Is that really something to be afraid of? Do you really think starving people are going to have the energy to break into your two bedroom apartment for some of that Trader Joe's frozen salmon burger? No, my friend, no one is that hungry. These people decided to go big or go home, and in order to do that they knew that they would have to show you how brutal these corporate thugs really are. You saw them sick their police goons on their employees like they were a bunch of damn crooks. You saw them beating old people in the street. You saw them shooting paint balls at black people who were on their property, who were not even protesting. You saw a black man's windows busted out on live television for the world to see and you saw them proceed to taser this man until he went into convulsions while their friends jumped all over the woman he was with. You saw them castrate a black man who worked with the police department, a man who they knew, who they then shot in the testicles. You saw it all. This oppression is made up. It is the same oppression that the Christian bemoans in the United States of America, a nation that is so obsessed with Christianity that it begins Christmas six months early. We have all heard this delusion before. Perhaps Rogan is running out of material. Perhaps droning on about fitness for 1300 episodes has fried his brain. Or perhaps the boys at Spotify really are pulling strings. I personally believe Spotify is much like Twitter; they know how to play the game. They know that their audiences like "liberal" or "progressive" companies now. So they show up to meetings dressed like college students and treat their employees kind of okay when people are looking. Let us not forget that companies like IBM had similar perks until they left Silicon Valley hanging, laying off and eventually displacing thousands in the process, a small price to pay for capitalism according to the captains of industry. Both Spotify and Joe Rogan are a joke; what they offer is not entertainment, but distraction. Their messages only confuse and divide; they have no valuable information to offer. Perhaps that is the real reason for their success. More white noise for white people.
