Joe Rogan Concerned Over Cultural Shift Demanding Acceptance of ‘Crazy Ideas’

People nowadays are more aware and well-informed about various political and cultural issues than ever. It has been named the ‘woke culture’. It mostly caters to marginalized communities. Joe Rogan touched on this topic many times in his podcast: the ‘Joe Rogan Experience.’ If this culture keeps up, it can prove to be detrimental to people who advocate free speech.

Joe Rogan previously discussed the state of the comedy scene. He discussed that there is no scope for a good comedy movie due to the oppression of the ‘woke culture.’ Rogan also commented that straight white men are being silenced by the ‘woke culture.’ But he believes that nobody can be ‘woke’ enough.

“It keeps going further and further and further down the line, and if you get to the point where you capitulate, where you agree to all these demands, it’ll eventually get to straight white men are not allowed to talk. Because it’s your privilege to express yourself when other people of color have been silenced throughout history,” said Rogan.
