This is what happens when people get triggered by something someone says, one time, and that something is taken WAY out of context.

Rogan doesn't victimize himself. Rogan isn't spouting white supremacist talking points. He doesn't believe white people are being mistreated.

In fact, he realizes the exact opposite - that POC are mistreated. He talks about this regularly.

Rogan's interviews are the best interviews of any journalist I've ever seen. He gives them enough time to either explain themselves, or fully hang themselves.

If he disagrees with someone, he'll come out and say it; depending on how adamant he is about his own belief on a subject, he will disagree vehemently, albeit respectfully.

Rogan is not how you've portrayed him. You do not have to agree with everything someone says all the time to appreciate their value in a conversation. In fact, this is part of Rogan's issue with society as a whole.

The moment you say anything, either mistakenly, or out of context, the pack of wolves come nipping at your heels, especially if you are a public figure.

It has nothing to do with playing a victim - he's right. This is what people are doing these days. People will love someone for years, then that person will say ONE thing that that 'group' disagrees with, then that group turns on that person and act as if that person is the worst person in the world.

This is happening right now in our world and it. is. a. problem.

Take you for example. I've never heard of you and you've likely never heard of me. I do not believe this one article should dictate my view of you as a person because it's one snapshot of your ideology and thought process. I will not judge you as a person because of this one article that I COMPLETELY disagree with. But I will openly and vehemently disagree with you and that's okay.

I don't agree with everything Rogan says, but his platform and the way he conducts his podcasts are unique and valuable to the country.

Don't try to paint him with a broad brush when you likely do not have a full understanding of him, which is evident from your myopic view of his ideology.
