let the bald meathead cry about his lost hundred million lmao who gives a ****
Rogan is a complete tool of a dude, the exact sort of brashly charismatic and completely empty-headed greedson that ALWAYS ends up being a major media personality in this country, and additionally one who has already made enough money to last him a hundred lifetimes. Throughout this whole debacle I'm having a hard time being convinced it matters at all one way or the other whether he's allowed to keep making more off of whatever Spotify deal or whatever else. If ye believe there be damage in paying him to say naughty words, the damage is done, and if not, he has the money already- who cares? What's going to happen about this that changes anything for anybody? What, is every ventilator-bound antivaxxer that took Ivermectin because he did going to sue him for their medical bills? I doubt it, though that would also be pretty funny. What negative outcome does he face, really?
Also, Spotify is awful for any musician that isn't on the top 40 charts and definitely deserves to be destroyed for the things it has done to the industry over the past few years. Bring on the reptilian Democrat establishment if that's what it takes, whatever. I don't see this as power creep, how could it be? There's maybe literally no position or power of government left that them and the Republicans haven't apportioned up the chain. This is a natural consequence of allowing the dancing interregnum of neoliberal clowns that have constituted the presidency since Raegan took office to continue to act as vassals to party and interest instead of as an actual executive figure.
That first video... is literally just two dudes reading a Twitter thread they like. Zero sources, zero substance. I also reckon their stated reasoning for the "establishment intervention" they claim weak. There are very few things that would constitute either party "losing control of the narrative" outside of an armed rebellion or revolution of some kind, or some other major disruption, the narrative is well and truly controlled. It has been for years at least; I suspect decades, though I don't have the life experience to back that up enough to say it with confidence- since it's also possible this sort of tightening and party-line-based fracturing of the Overton window was only really doable with the advent of social media, and before that party cohesion was a purely strategic matter.
