Joe Rogan Is the Aleph – Tablet Magazine
What matters about Rogan is that his interests and instincts both defy standard left-right and Democrat-Republican divisions and appeal to an enormous audience the show is downloaded nearly 200 million times per month. The tenets of the Rogan worldview include rugged individualism, swings between techno enthusiasm and techno skepticism, the value of hard work and thrift, patriotic social obligation to the needy and disenfranchised, anti-interventionism in foreign affairs coupled with strong national defense, and cultural traditionalism nagging at a libertarian faith in sovereign individual rights. He preaches personal growth through risk, pain, and confrontation, supports both police reform initiatives and the imperative of maintaining law and order, evinces a live and let live attitude combined with a disdain for the maximalist social positions ascendant on the left. In short, he has opinions that resonate with many different kinds of Americans yet are systematically underrepresented in organized politics.
This is pretty good.
