Joe Rogan dethroned by anti-Trump podcast in the charts
Rogan slips into second spot, as the MeidasTouch Podcast becomes the country's most downloaded and listened-to show this month.
You're viewing a single thread.
Less than a month into the new administration, the rise of the left-leaning MeidasTouch to become the country's most popular podcast indicates a potential shift in tone currently resonating with Americans.
Is it actually Leftist or is it liberal? I'd welcome a number one Leftist show, but I don't think most USA citizens are politically literate enough to know the difference. We've been brainwashed by decades of propaganda to think liberalism is synonymous with Leftist.
They self identify as progressive and it seems that they are, so definitely not liberals. I stopped clicking Brian Tyler Cohen videos though because he does clickbait bullshit like "trump gets NIGHTMARE legal news" or "trump campaign SUNK" and it ends up being some legal bullshit they have to re-file because they messed it up the first time, or something stupid like that. Seriously just scroll through his shorts. It's awful.
Gotta play the YouTube algorithm sadly
Soft clickbait I don't mind, but BTC's titles are "the sky is falling" levels of bullshit. I didn't even block his videos, I just stopped clicking and they completely fell out of my feed.
It's a shame because it's not bad content, I'm just sick of clicking a video expecting some big news involving actual consequences for terrible people, only to be told they will get away with a finger wag at worst.
I stopped watching him when he did his show from that expensive looking booth at the DNC.
Center right liberal
They specifically said "left-leaning" to stop people like you from asking stupid questions like that. Stop gatekeeping anti-fascism.
I don't think you're as familiar with the meaning of terms as you think. Some people call the NYT left-leaning. They absolutely are not. They are a liberal publication and that has a different meaning.
This is what I meant when I said USA citizens have been corrupted by decades of propaganda. Conservative idiots genuinely believe socialism is about making people eat bugs as opposed to helping people out and doing things for their betterment. And liberals genuinely believe that they are Leftists. But go ahead and call my question stupid.
Its shitlib echo chamber stuff
Oh, so like Pod Save America. Ok, I'll avoid the shit out of it. Thanks!
Pod save America isnt what surpassed Rogan, it was Mediastouch, they are garbage
Oh God, not this hexbear twisted logic. Back to Shillville.
Liberalism isn't Leftism. It's corporate.
Can you imagine if every time someone pointed out the difference between Democrats & Republicans, we had to sit through endless comments of people speaking up to say things like "don't gatekeep fascism, mom!!" or "not this moneybear twisted logic!!"?
Liberalism and Leftism broadly disagree on their respective core economic tenants. They're ideologically further apart than Democrats and Republicans. And yet, you struggle to comprehend them as distinct entities without getting upset and triggered... if you seriously consider it divisive to understand that diversity of opinion on the left is good and a sign of a healthy democracy, I don't know what to tell you.
You need to take a good long hard look at what you're promoting here. Not everybody needs to think the same or adhere to exactly the same ideology in order to be deserving of respect and work together with others for common causes. We don't need everyone to be grouped under one label for collective action and agreeable democratic reforms to take place. In fact, it's important that we aren't grouped that way... it's detrimental to us all regardless of whether you're liberal or left.
It’s tenets, not tenants. Add that to your Russian:English dictionary.
Of course. Anybody who disagrees with your personal narrow sliver of opinion must just be a Russian bot. /s
Thank you for proving to every person reading that you're only commenting in bad faith.
Leftists would care what you think about it if liberals hadn't just spent a century killing and persecuting them.
Being a leftist is not the same thing as being on your national left, cope.
leftist, almost always comes from right wing sources. in the usa there isnt a true political left.
There is... but it's not the Democrats.
I wanna see TrueAnon up there…
My friend. May Brace bless you and keep you.
Next up, QAA Podcast.
This guy's close. Tried watching it and it was hard. But then again I never tried Rogan as he seems like a turd. Maybe people just want loud obnoxious content that doesn't teach you much... Guess it feels better then it being on the right wing nazi sphere...
We need to start calling ourselves something else. Liberal and Leftist isn’t doing us any favors and is keeping people alienated from messages that may otherwise reach them. Maybe Centrists?? The labels are keeping us divided, but Centrist is like saying you are a rational human, and I think many people consider themselves to be that. Need to have a more unifying “label”.
This will only lead to the workers' cause being diluted. Leftism is socialism. It is anti capitalism. It is named in opposition to the right wing deliberately. The dichotomy exists for a reason. Our enemies are capitalists. They are the ruling class. Diluting our cause achieves nothing but losing revolutionary momentum.
We need louder leftist voices. We need the messaging to get as far and wide as possible. The far right has been winning at this. They own the tech companies, the social media giants, they run the algorithms. We need to push people further and further off of those platforms and amplify leftist voices as loud as we can. We need more propaganda. We need more organization.
Centrist conveys not having any clear ideology. I am for helping people.
