Watched you as a kid on fear factor, discovered you do podcasting a couple years ago as an adult. Now every time I explain something to someone and they don’t know what I’m talking about I ask “do you listen to Joe rogan podcasts?” 😂
Hey hey hey you self righteous americans what more freedom do you have more than australia or u.k or canada yo we both work shit n sleep stop america is so free you
44:25. This illusion that the U.S. has freer expression than Canada. U.S. citizens are highly indoctrinated (e.g., in U.S. exceptionalism and triumphalism), so despite your Bill of Rights, your free expression is circumscribed in ways that ours isn’t. We are not (as Canadians) asked and expected to by in to as strong and pervasive a national myth, for instance.
Smart guy – but I think that he misunderstands "stand your ground" laws. They don't let you kill someone if you're offended – it just allows you to use self defense if in (reasonable person standard) physical danger without having to try to run away first.
That guy they talk about sounds full-on Anarchist rather than Libertarian. Blackmail legal? Lol – people like that are why I refuse to ID as Libertarian.
