      The last time Marc commented on these issues on major platforms, Rogan felt the need to respond and effectively said Maron was jealous and not as „in the know“ as he was. Maron is doing his „I was right“ tour, but whether it’s Von, Schultz or Rogan, they’re all variously trying to avoid the subject.

      I suggest this: Thunderdome. Rogan v. Maron in a pod-off. Rogan doesn’t get Jamie and Maron can’t storm off.

    2. Theo comes off as the dumbest person Alive to me. Rogan knows exactly what he’s doing tho.

      All of this is just so crazy. Rogan is such a trash human why is Marc even giving them his breath?

      They didn’t get duped. They found an audience and cashed in. If these people got more views simping for a different candidate, they would have done that.

      So many of these dudes are coming out and saying they were “duped.” It took a pretty healthy level of gullibility to be fooled by him the first time around. The second time? You’re lying.

      I wish we would stop treating grown men like they are both the most powerful and logical of beings while also being helpless toddlers who can be so easily fooled by the most obvious con while millions of people tell them they are being conned.

      They weren’t duped, and despite what Maron says about it ultimately coming down to free speech, it was never *really* about that. It’s always been about the grift. It’s incredibly lucrative right now to make money by stroking the egos and assisting to launder the reputations of the ultra wealthy. The little bit extra you make off MAGA sycophants and „free speech absolutists“ is just sprinkles on top, if that.

      This isn’t a new concept, albeit Rogan arguably figured the modern formula out first, which is why Elon’s been on his show at least half a dozen times; along with Peter Theil, Marc Andreessen, Zuck and friends. But now we see almost every single „comedian“ Maron listed in the article following the same strategy.

      It’s consolidation of power in the guise of „entertainment.“

      Saying „Duped“ absolves them of responsibility of how they helped to allow what’s happening today come to fruition.

      They made their money, „Enriched by Trump“ is more accurate.

      Just stupid and greedy largely, no great tricks have been pulled in this era, it’s all very mundane and stupid, endlessly stupid.

    10. Everybody is talking about it being a grift rather than being duped but I don’t think that is always the case.

      When a lot of these comedians started talking about taking testosterone shots I started looking into it. Testosterone started becoming widely available to people whether they needed it or not. This started in the early 2010s. Then you start seeing these comedians always complaining about how you can’t say anything anymore. Then people started getting more angry in general and buying in to Trump’s grievances.

      Of course there are all kinds of factors in how we got here but I think we need to start looking more at testosterone’s role. If you don’t need it, it’s going to make you more aggressive. Some preliminary studies say that except for people who are solidly to the left, testosterone will shift your views to the right to some degree.

      I swear this guy played Bernie Lomax in another life. He and Terry Kizer from Weekend at Bernie’s? They sound and look a lot alike.

      Like Maron himself said, everyone should checkout the Elephant Graveyard doc on this – it’s very funny and well done

    13. busdrivermike on

      I object to the word “comics” being used in reference to these ghouls

      The daily beast, routinely reporting non-news as breaking news for over ten years.

    15. I dressed up as a clown and got paid well for it. But I am the victim because people laugh at my clown car as I drive home. It’s not fair. 🙁

      „Duped?“ That’s not what it’s called when you get a dump truck full of money.

    17. nooneknowswerealldog on

      Rogan should be more grateful. Decades of diversity advocacy in Hollywood is the only reason he can get parts outside of theatrical runs of *The Wizard of Oz* and *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory*.

    18. Sevia_the_Rogue on

      Duped? Trump hasn’t duped anyone. Duped means you were told or expected something and got something different.

      Trump has been upfront with his awfulness since 1980.

      Who knew the guy that led a mob to attack Congress to overturn an election might create lawless mobs in his second term

    20. CascadiaSupremacy on

      There is nothing to “get duped” by. Maron is a misogynist in denial of reality.

    21. I can’t help wondering how many of them were supposed to get paid to spread propaganda but got stiffed and that’s why they’re speaking out now. Just a dumb little conspiracy theory I wouldn’t be surprised was true.

    22. They weren’t duped into anything. Chumps racism and hatred tickled their fancy and they jumped right in without testing the waters.

      > ”You could say whatever you want, and you’re just gonna have to shoulder the burden of the consequences.”

      See, it’s the consequence part that they don’t like.

    24. Capable-Criticism625 on

      Not my favorite comic, but man was he spot on about this all along. Straight up said „They’re getting conned, and eventually they’ll regret being a part of this but will ultimately dismiss the impact they had.“ Which is basically exactly what they’re all doing now.

    25. Fit-Switch-5795 on

      Trump’s first innings was stupid, but not utterly catastrophic like this one, and at that time fear of a trans planet with controlled speech was at its peak, and hatred of the extreme left seemed more rational than worry about the right – but the Trump went full-dicktater.

      Loved his podcast. He stopped doing it. He’s very reasonable and backs up his opinions with facts.

      Marc Maron BLASTS.

      I hate these shitty lazy articles. Dude’s been railing against the manosphere „anti-woke“ comics for years, and every so often these paeudojournalists just go back to the well make another BLASTS or DESTROYS article for clicks.

      Now that they don’t have his podcast to pretend to do journalism about, they’ve gotta find other low hanging fruits.

    28. Gibbly_Gorkoroo on

      They knew and they are responsible. Never let them pretend. Never let them backtrack.
