Will the Coronavirus Lessen SJW Activity? w/Adam Eget | Joe Rogan

Do you think all the PC bullshit and the social justice warrior shit is going to be tempered after we... No. No. No, I think it was tempered because of the real danger. I think the real threat and the real fear tempered it. And now that that's gone away, the real fear is going to give way to a new level of anger because of this level of despair people are going to be experiencing financially over the next few months. So there's going to be a heightened... It's almost going to be... Look at that. It was a slingshot effect. Like people got less conti and they're going to get more conti and more self-righteous. Yeah. More, more self-righteous, more people chastising, criticizing people. And on Twitter you really see it because people are literally forced to be at home. So if you're forced to be at home and you don't have the discipline to stay off Twitter and you happen to comment something and someone comments on your comment and then you start talking shit to each other, that's your day. Not only is that your day, but you're going to be crazy. You're going to be thinking about it in the middle of the night, what the fuck did they write? You get up to pee, I'm not going to check my phone. Let me check my phone real quick. Fuck. And they said something's pretty good. You're like, God damn it. Now I got to come up with something to say back. So you start Googling statistics. Yeah, man. This is what a lot of people are doing. It's making people sicker and sicker. I have almost completely avoided Twitter other than I'll check my DMs occasionally and occasionally I'll check what other people have posted that I'm friends with or that I follow. Check a little bit, but I might give it five minutes a day. I deleted my Twitter icon about a year ago and then I just reinstalled it maybe about a week or two ago. And I'm already starting to see like, what am I doing? Why am I even looking? It's just getting me pissed off. It's just too many people are angry. Yeah. It's just too many. About nonsense. Well, maybe it's to them it's important. Right? It's like when you post it, it's important. But when you're dealing with whatever the fuck it is, a hundred million people that are on Twitter or more, probably more that are posting on a regular basis. And then most of what they want to say is angry. Most of what they want to say is negative. Most of it is complaining. It might be like 60% complaining. So when you tune into that, like you're getting all the problems of all these people. It's just too many people. You're supposed to deal with the problems of the people that are around you. So if there's like 10 people around you and Tommy's got a problem, what's wrong with Tommy? Let's go talk to Tommy. It's not supposed to be 10 million people. And then there's hundreds of thousands of Tommy's just flooding your fucking, your feed with bullshit nonsense. My fucking girls lying about this and they say we can't vote in November. Fuck that. I say we sue. And whoa, all this craziness. It's like you just deal with the worst aspects of everyone's day or everyone's thoughts or everyone's opinions. You're just dealing with all this negativity. And it's so rare that it is really very much appreciated when you do find it, like a really well structured conversation or disagreement about something where people don't get shitty at all. Like, wow, that's beautiful. That's pleasant to see. Oh, there's people that want to dox people because, you know, they, you know, they don't like this politician that they support or they don't like, they want you to not have to wear a mask. And people want to dox you. Like, there's, there's so many people that are so fucking angry and weird online. And then you add this pandemic to it and you just got this boiling pot of shitty thinking. And anger and meanness just mean. Yeah, there's a lot of that. Where's the love? Where's the love? Where's the camaraderie? Where's the hugs? Isn't that the best part of your day? When you rather be friends with people, like, I know you can have disagreements and not be shitty. It's possible. And that's what I loved about the comedy stores. People that, you know, didn't disagree, but they fucking, you know, they're still the camaraderie and they're, they're at the end of the day, they're in the same boat. Like they love each other. Pretty much. Yeah. There's just a, there's a lack of conservative comedians, I would say. If there's anything that's odd. Yeah, that is. I think that's, that's very true. There's a few, you know, that you know of, but it's pretty, it's pretty rare. I think there's probably more than we know that they're just, just not on stage. They're, they're, they're avoiding it. Maybe. Yeah, maybe. In acting, it's like fucking 99% percent. It's crazy. Yeah. Which makes me think that can't be real. It makes me think that it's probably a lot of his people shaping their opinions so that they're more accepted and loved by the community that they've chosen to try to excel in. Yeah. Definitely. All business decisions. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
