    Barb wire meatheads aren't meatheads is kind of the point

    I've run into a lot of barb wire or full sleeve guys in construction who are very bright

    And they wouldn't hurt a fly

    This guy wouldn't go after Black athletes with full body tats

    Joe likes weed, boobies and fighting.....

    How can ANY male take umbrage at that?!?

    Edit: I forgot the @Dennis_DeYoung s probably don't really give two fucks about boobies - but weed and fighting is still cool, right?

    I felt like I learned less about Rogan than I did about the worldview of self-loathing males.

    That was exactly how I felt reading this piece. The writer went to great lengths to emphasize and establish his own metrosexualness while grappling with his attempts to comprehend an alien meathead species like Joe Rogan.
    I'd like to think there is a 3rd lane here for non-metros, who also loathe meathead, barbed wire ink, bros. I stand with @creepycoug .
    But not with baze

    Joe likes Jack. He likes Milo Yiannopoulos. He likes Alex Jones. He wants you to know that he doesn’t agree with much of what they say, but he also wants you to know that off camera they’re the nicest guys. If we all have fatal flaws, this is Joe’s: his insistence on seeing value in people even when he shouldn’t, even when they’ve forfeited any right to it, even when the harm outweighs the good. It comes from a generous place, but it amounts to careless cruelty. He just won’t write people off, and then he compounds the sin by throwing them a lifeline at the moment when they least deserve it.

    This sentiment is what I find most revealing about the author. People he disagreed with because of their beliefs, not actions, should be written off.

    True extremist Progressive. Cult mind-control.

    Tom Cruise and the Church of Scientology are the only ones more radicalized in their defense of cult-think.
