Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson offers support for Joe Rogan - “Great stuff here, brother”
- Thread starter RBH
- Start date
I never understood why people put celebrities up on a pedestal. They are regular people with a particular talent and got money for that talent. It doesn't make them smarter or have more common sense then the next person.
90% of that thread everyone got clowned on for thinking that LOL
Complete buffoonery.
On face value, the Joe Rogan thoughts video The Rock liked is actually decently communicated and if I didn't know anything else about Joe Rogan and I would be like "OK that makes all sense".
But since I know both his audience and everyone he has platformed in his past. That's the problem. If his audience was sophisticated intelligent critical thinkers and he platformed someone with a different view while objecting to them correctly, then what he said would be OK. But truth is his audience is full of a bunch of right-wing racists and platforming (and he validates them as well) those people spreads it further.
He won't admit that.
EDIT - And of course that isn't talking about all the racist shit he's said himself as well.

Like it's stupid but it's kinda a non response by Rock PR wise just saying nice "get it done" stuff to Rogan without giving his real opinion.
I mean Rogan post was dumb but he was trying to say it a half assed way he will do better about misinfo, and while I still don't believe him, Rock is just taking his statement at face value because what else would Rock say publicly?

When The Rock got Covid, didn't he indirectly call out trump and failed leadership?
This is confusing.

Rock, you didn't have to start off black history month by embarrassing us
Nobody does.
It was always clear to me that The Rock had right-ish tendencies, but after that pro-vaccine video I'm still surprised to see him jump into defend Joe Rogan in this context.
Like, for sure he likes the guy and listens to the podcast and wants to sell his tequila or whatever. But I would've expected him to lay low here.

The Rock is pretty shallow as far as "let's all get along and sing kumbaya" with a basic surface level approach to most things. That's the reason he never really articulates any political views despite always being floated by people for a presidential run, he seems to communicate solely in blandly positive PR statements.
Yeah I'm asking why this website isn't a banned source to be quite honest. Blatantly biased narrative writing.
Rock has tequila to sell these days! You gotta hustle and grind to sell that tequila!
Please try a free sample of this delicious tequila. I bought 40 skids of it and my wife told me I need to clear out the space it's taking up in the garage.
Lot of Rogan fans I know are "free thinkers" and also hated Trump.
Did anybody bother to verify if there is any truth to this absolutely shitty article? Or are we suddenly believing The Daily Wire at face value?
I really think we need a better source than The Daily Wire.

Ohh that explains it, then. Huh.
Gonna have to join you in that. Any site promoting COVID disinformation should automatically go into the shitlist.
Well, Arnie was Republican governor who sexually harrased women. So it's not like he is such great guy… but Arnie does have better filmography.
