I think people like Joe Rogan et al are, themselves, slowly nudged towards the far right by their sponsors and endorsements and partnerships and guest appearances etc etc. Those idiots didn’t play some kind of long con to trick normal people into becoming rightists, they themselves changed and dragged their audiences with them. They don’t have a playbook, they’re being played.
Joe Rogan is the ultimate example of social being determining your conscious. As he got richer and more popular he became more right wing.
I also agree and don’t think it was a deliberate long con by any of them (well maybe Tim Pool?). They are all just products of their environments. The right also understands how important it is to control the cultural hegemony. Theyre not just talking to people about politics, but all sorts of different niches.
I don’t think that’s actually what happened.
