So anyway, back to the podcast. In comes Andreessen to lobby to Joe's large audience about how bad the CFPB is, and to do so he lies repeatedly. He lies about what the CFPB is, what it was set up to do. He lies that CFPB is debanking right wing people (CFPB is trying to stop this practice). He lies that only right wing people get de-banked (it happens to people all over the political spectrum). He lies about who runs the CFPB. He's very smart about it of course and he presents his lies in a way he knows much of the audience will lap it up because people are always open to hearing about how their people are being oppressed.

Rogan was rightly taken aback about it and couldn't believe what Andreessen was telling him because Joe is a very sensible guy. I'm not sure he really realised how bare faced the lies were though.

And yes I'm a lefty, although that probably doesn't mean what you think it means.

wow, that’s very antisemitic of you..

Cause the US 'left' is now as much in bed with big business as the right ever was.
I'm always good for an anti corpo rant - not just banks but pharma, military etc too. Usually not on this forum, I know it's not the place where that kind of thing is welcome any more.
But I'm still one of those old school lefties (probably because I'm old) that still thinks the left is about workers, consumers, is anti war, anti corruption etc. Maybe one day that kind of left will return.
Disagree with most of what you said and think you're spectacularly wrong, but I appreciate that you engaged on it.

“Old school leftist” who voted for Kamala.

Araysar make that make sense

Is there a US federal agency that you DONT like? You strike me as a guy who thinks it's always better to err on the side of more government

CIA and NSA should both be erased and maybe built back with a set of directives that are less anti civil liberties.
DOD obviously needs a clean out since they don't even know where the huge % of the US budget they spend goes.
FDA and whatever other health affiliated departments are responsible for oversight of the terribly corrupt health industry since they're failing miserably.
I'm sure there's others, I'm not exactly across the 10000 or however many agencies there are.

There are no "old school leftists"

The Overton window shifted has so far to the Left that "old school leftists" are now voting Trump.

sakkath · Thursday at 9:46 PM

Well given that I neither live in nor am a citizen of the US I couldn't vote for either Trump or Kamala. Even if I could have I wouldn't as they're both terrible options, so I'd have thrown my vote away by voting 3rd party. Luckily in Australia we have a preferential voting system so voting independent or 3rd party isn't a wasted vote

Nobody cares about your shit opinions.

Ah of course, and there it is folks.

TheBeagle · Friday at 6:58 AM

Preferential voting. "Luckily". LMAO. Preferential voting is just another end run that allows the ruling elite to maintain power while fooling the plebs that their vote counts for something. Us stupid Yanks have seen this first hand in the shit show that is Alaska elections.

Also Sakkath, you're dead wrong if you think anti-corpo arguments arent welcome in FoH. Being anti big pharma is literally bullet point #1 on the list of things that current year libtards consider to be Right Wing extremism.

I'm willing to have a nuanced conversation about this if there's anyone who's actually interested in that kind of thing any more.

There are people who would do it, but there's a dozen power posting trolls who won't allow it.

No one gives a shit what you have to say.

Don't play the victim. This response is the result of lefties silencing opposition for years.

On this forum? When did that ever happen?

The difference is that you think big pharma turned the frogs gay and your bright idea is to hate gay frogs instead of actually doing anything that would substantively regulate big pharma, or any other corporation putting chemicals into water supplies, in a way that would harm their bottom line and force them to change.

You can't be anti-regulation and anti-corpo at the same time and expect to make any sense. The right's stances on these issues are functionally identical to the left's irrational defense of Islam. A lot of horseshoes and not a lot of consistent application of principles.

So you've become what you hate. Nice one I guess, you and them are exactly the same. You and the blue hairs can go hold hands in the corner.

And still nobody has even bothered trying to produce a rebuttal of the evidence I provided that Andreessen was lying about the CFPB. We all know why.

Bandwagon · Friday at 5:58 PM

I couldn't give a shit less about arguing with woke losers anymore. I've done it plenty. I'd rather just kick sand in your face and call you a faggot. I'm going to stick with eating leftover turkey sandwiches with my family and not arguing online with people that think ackchually Rogan's podcast is the real source of misinformation. Go write about it in your diary.

sakkath · Friday at 6:33 PM

You could put me in my place but you don't feel like it huh.
You're about as interesting as a drunk idiot yelling "fuck youuuuu" at every stranger they pass on the street.

Bandwagon · Friday at 6:37 PM

That's exactly what I was going for. Fuck you.

I produced the evidence. You just didn't like it.
