No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I don't think he's QAnon. I don't think he believes MOST of the nutjobs that he lets on his show, or even cares what they believe. But he lets a bunch of QAnon people on his show, so a bunch of QAnon people listen to him. And he keeps letting weirdos on his show because that's what his listeners want.
I would agree that the context is entirely different in Asia, his show is mostly harmful to Americans and wouldn't affect other countries much.
I don't think he's separable from qanon or the alt-right. Enabling them to the extent he does means he's one of them tacitly, if not officially.
Posted elsewhere, but what do you call 4 nazis drinking with a 5th person? 5 nazis.
Exactly.
i meant that the person i know is not qanon, i was responding to "I don’t know but if someone told me they listened to Joe Rogan, I would assume...Worst case is Qanon nut job."
Part of this is bad phrasing because you are unaware of the movement but no one knows who Qanon is.
What people are talking about in this thread are people who follow the movement, and not who Qanon is. Of course your friend isn't Qanon. That would be absurd.
But how do you know they aren't posting on 4chan and following the movement? Is that what you are trying to say, that they don't follow that sort of thing because you think its a movement that solely rooted in American politics?
i didn't mean i thought they were qnon, i meant they are not part of the qanon movement
I feel like the latter conclusion isn’t entirely true. If this is other countries’ exposure to political discourse, you should be concerned about the generations to follow, if we even make it that long as a species.
Fair, I think what I'm trying to say is that I wouldn't expect Joe Rogan's show to be as immediately offensive to those outside of America, who are missing the context of all the internal conflicts we have here.
