    You might be confusing First Amendment Rights in the United States with totally unfettered speech. They are not entirely congruent. The Court has ruled on this matter. In the U.S., there are established legal limits to your freedoms, and that includes your freedom under the First Amendment.

    Interestingly, under our First Amendment, you have the right to express yourself as you did in your post.

    Well now they ate trying to scrub all the offensive Joe Rogan episodes where he used the N word or called other races names. Sorry... it is too late to scrub all the offensive content from the Joe Rogan White Supremacist Show.

    Joe Rogan episodes disappear from Spotify
    https://boingboing.net/2022/02/05/joe-rogan-episodes-disappear-from-spotify.html

    Internet-watchers report that a significant number of Joe Rogan episodes vanished from Spotify late on Friday— the traditional time for corporate action that one doesn't want widely noticed. Rogan's been in the spotlight lately for constantly featuring medical misinformation on his show—a simmering scandal brought to a boil by a viral supercut of all the times he's used the N-word. You can't call the year-old funny video below prescient, exactly—if anything it's testament to just how obvious it was that this was how things were going to go.

    spotify every day since they signed joe rogan

    Yeah.. as usual, says the pseudolibertarian.

    I'm not even American. You either have free speech or you don't.

    Regardless of a private company having a right to take off videos from it's platform or not. That was not what I was talking about. What I said was simply that anyone who defends any kind of censorship, legal or not, can go fuck themselves.

    And, since you defend it, like any other socialist idea that gets your pseudolibertarian panties on fire, you are one of the people I was talking about.

    eh, I dunno bro, I think this is going to come back to bite dems in the ass.
    I don't think Cenk is a racist:



    His racist jokes are more problematic, but I don't automatically assign rapist, pedophile, murderer, etc... to comedians joking about those topics either. My hot take: there are racist comedians that make racist jokes, and there are non-racist comedians that make racist jokes. I.e. Chappelle can be a transphobe while making trans jokes, C.K. can be a serial masturbator while making masturbation jokes. Those two have joked about things that I wouldn't automatically assign to them.

    Rogan's gone down the deep end w/alt-righters, and people now hate him over COVID, they don't really seem to care how he falls as long as he falls it seems.

  8. The thing is Rogan has never been mainstream enough to earn the cred needed to get away with some of his views. Chappelle was at such a high stature that the transphobe outcry is not going to cancel him. C.K. got taken down by harrassment issues but in general he had staying power.

    Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy could make white v. black jokes because of the genius of their comedy.

    Joe Rogan started out as a funny comedian but then became a joke with Fear Factor and roiding up for MMA hosting....all that was left for him was being on the fringe in blogs and keeping any attention on him...

    The black neighborhood being like The Planet of the Apes and a mixed child getting thier intelligence from the white parent is pretty darn racist imo.
