Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.

      pesant-minded

      My comrad in class, unless you are a multi-millionare we are all peasants together. Many of us have excellent minds, as you likely do yourself. Do not tie our mental capability to our economic caste.

      What does it mean to be peasant-minded and why are you using it as an insult.

          No, its a bizarre thing to say, just like if someone said serf-minded, slave-minded, or using any other economic group minded.

          How is that trolling? imo that was quite a funny point, if the original phrase was meant to be an insult, it was a very weird one.

          You’re being a much bigger troll. You took any kind of criticism of someone else’s wording as an attack on your agenda. Congrats, you’re at least as bad as the people listening to Rogan.

          Edit: someone please explain what am I missing.

            You’re not missing anything, people either think you’re defending Rogan by pointing out the insult or they just don’t care about the fact that the insult is degrading for peasants.

            Calling someone a peasant as a humorous jab is okay, but using it as a serious insult isn’t.

        If you think listening to the Joe Rogan Experience is an insult you’re either listening to the JRE or you’ve never listened to the JRE.
