he is right wing, but is deeply afraid of being exposed as right wing because he would lose his left wing audience
he also, like the Daily Show, pretends to be nonpartisan because it makes him more effective at influencing centrists & swing voters
thus he randomly takes silly & stupid left wing positions sometimes in order to pretend to be an "enlightened centrist". examples include: his flirting with Bernie Sanders, his love affair with UBI (many fake centrists use UBI for this purpose because they know it will never happen) and others from time to time
he totally refuses to take "right wing" culture war positions so that he can cast his real right wing culture war offensives as being centrist. bear in mind this man put a lot of right wing culture warriors on his show and gave them a huge platform, like Abigail Shrier, and sold their message to his bipartisan audience.
Personally I think he's far more effective at helping the Right by being a fake centrist than by being openly right wing.
Of course this sub is going to cry and purity test him for the dumb shit he sometimes says when he has done 1,000,000,000,000,000 times what anyone criticizing him has done in helping the Right.
This kind of attitude is why the Right loses. People like you trying to tear down some of the Right's MVPs because he didn't meet your purity test makes you the Left's MVPs. You guys are addicted to losing & seething. You're like the incel community except for politics. People who would rather complain about women instead of fuck them. You guys would rather complain about politics than hold any power & make any changes for the good.
Joe Rogan takes the right wing side on almost every major issue. He gives a platform to right wing figures who are being actively suppressed by all the major platforms.

Allow me to explain the game Joe Rogan plays:

As a counterpoint, we can bitch people we generally like say dumb shit because we aren't bootlicker (or at least, I'm not).
I agree he's done a lot of good, but that doesn't mean he's immune from criticism either
If Rogan’s behavior can be controlled by criticism, why wouldn’t I criticize him for saying something stupid?
I agree no one is immune, I'd just rather complain about <10th percentile libs instead of >80th percentile conservatives.
He's only right-wing in the "let me do whatever I want" sense. He's left-wing in most everything else.

You know what? I'm running my mouth without knowing what I'm talking about. Maybe his drug talk gave me the wrong idea.
he does love drugs
