[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5165821, member: 24302"] The problem is every last one of us at one time or another has said something we wished we hadn't and if someone has an axe to grind they'll use that against us if that statement is on some kind of record. Rogan was reliably liberal, supported Bernie Sanders, but he's willing to do what the cancel culture absolutely abhors, discuss any subject on its merits and from any angle. That's what makes his podcast so popular. Jumping on a bandwagon to run Rogan out of town is exactly what the extremists want and as usual racism is the preferred weapon. Rogan could've just meant that like "The Planet of the Apes" when he got out of that cab he was in a totally different world than what he was used to. Not a smart way to put it and in today's super heated polarized society giving your enemies ammo like that will get you burned. But you have to know that going along with the attacks on Rogan means another avenue of honest, open discussion will be taken away at the detriment of all of us. Luckily the capitalists at Spotify aren't willing to give up their cash cow and sooner or later this will blow over. And probably pick up a lot more listeners to Rogan. [/QUOTE]
