Fun Fact: Rot Brain Peterson has, on the record, unironically advocated that "society needs to work to make sure men are married" so they don't become violent.

And he says feminists are the ones besmirching masculinity.

Incredible, he's infantilized men into big dangerous toddlers that throw a violent fit when they don't get what they want.

The best part is his incel base ate it up and assumed he meant government-issued sex slaves, so he clarified that he just meant society, aka the literal patriarchy, needs to shame the very idea of not being in a monogamous hetero couple so hard it is socially unacceptable to do anything else (you know, again)

Maybe the other 45% never heard about it.

I searched for JRE the other day expecting a link to Java Runtime Environment.

Now Google thinks I like Joe fucking Rogan.

It’s hilarious to me that Republicans have now decided that whole generations of Americans are the enemy. They love to shit on millennials especially but any young generation is a weak, woke, twisted mob come to ruin the world. Hating all young people (aside from Kyle Rittenhouse) is not a well-thought-strategy.

[–] macrocephalic@lemmy.world 58 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Millennials are not young anyway. I'm a millennial and I'm 40.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Definitely: they got this “millennials” idea stuck in their heads 10 years ago and they still use it as shorthand for “these kids today.” You try to talk to them about GenZ and Alpha and they roll their eyes and say “the who now?”

I always get a kick out of this, I tell people that I am one of the younger millennials and I'm 32. Older people just have millennial=young person in their head.

Fucking "woke" man... it's kinda nice in a way, because now I know whenever I see that word brought up I can safely ignore what comes after it as the person has proven that they're brainwashed by Reich wing media...

It's absolutely fucking ridiculous seeing the "discussions" section on Steam about a goddamn video game be filled with "Is this game woke?" "BOYCOTT WOKE GAME" "Remove the option to have pronouns or we'll cancel you!"

Absolutely fucking brainwashed... Literally a bunch of Pavlov's dogs running around getting triggered by options in a video game because they were conditioned to.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I actually remember before the term “woke” got stolen by Fox News and was frequently used across Black Twitter as a shorthand for taking the red pill on seeing racism and intersectional grief in our society. Once your eyes are open to these truths, you can’t stop seeing them.

Ah OH BOY some people have a PROBLEM with the truth being plainly seen and spoken about. Can’t have that!

I nearly noped out on a date with someone when she revealed that she thought the Joe Rogan experience was "funny".

[–] Jaytreeman@kbin.social 40 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Weirdest thing about listening to jre is that you realize that Joe is deeply unfunny. He has a few funny friends though.

[–] AFaithfulNihilist@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Even his old stand up was just not very good. He seems to be likable on a personal level though so he got along well with the actually funny comedians. I think the Golden age of his career started when he went on Tom Green's internet TV show and got the idea to do the Joe Rogan experience.

I'm Gen X and I'd rather sew my vagina shut than go near any man into Musk/Peterson/Trump/Rogan, etc, for what it's worth. Can't speak for the boomers though.

What's dumber than these surveys which are always filled with loaded questions and questionable sampling methods, is the fact people take them as fact without even looking into them. I spent so much time trying to track down where the original survey is, and it doesn't exist. It's not on the Change Research website, it's not linked by any article that mentions it, and it's not reported by any credible outlet. It's reported on by 5 or so tabloids like The NY Post, The Daily Mail, and Teen Vogue and nothing more.

GOP politician : The younger generation isn't voting for us!

It's almost as if even regular young people can see that Rogan's show is a prototype of how to normalize stupidity and give platforms to manipulative grifters. Medical misinformation, not-so-subtle right wing agenda (read: anti-science, anti-LGBTQ, or at least the willingness to platform people with those views) and giving safe space to regressive "common sense" type debate. Panty melting shit, that.

I really cannot wait until millenials and GenZ grow older take over the world. The youth of today are just so much smarter than us, and I feel like they are more exposed to internet media that they aren't easily influenced. I just hope there is enough of the world left for them after we are done with it.

[–] ActionHank@sopuli.xyz 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As a millennial, I disagree. Plenty of my friends, whom used to be outspoken idealist have taken industry jobs for known bad actors. Not being poor, not living in squalor, and being able to afford a visit to the doctor, being able to afford housing, being able to afford to raise a family, these are not minor things. And at a certain point many will just give up, and give in to those who offer security and comfort. And also there's just a ton of youth media whose only core value is wealth obtainment. I've several friends proudly proclaiming they can't wait to be rich, will grind and hustle, but can't be bothered to vote; including a couple with graduate degrees.

I think a lot of people put way too much weight on these terms: baby-boomer, genz, millennial etc. They're primarily used for marketers to try and segment us into targetable demographics. And by lazy journalist to make very broad sweeping categorizations of huge groups of people. Sociologists and economists probably use the terms with a bit more specificity on average, but that gets lost when communicating with a general audience. I think we have way more in common then a lot of us like to think. I typically get down-voted for having this opinion, because a lot of people don't want to hear that, no they are not actually special. There have been many amazing people that came from the generations prior to our own, there will be some from our own, but most of us will behave the same way humanity always has when put in similar conditions.

I have little hope that future generations will be better at running the planet. So far they appear to be arguably just as easily influenced, open to fads and greedy as their parents.

On related news, their standards are pretty low, as a whooping 45% of Millenial and GenZ ~~woman~~ women would drop as low as having a partner that listens to "The Joe Rogan Experience".
