Joe Rogan Spreads AIDS Denialism To Spotify’s Massive Audience – The Majority Report w/ Sam Seder Feb 22, 2024 Transcript: 9:20 “it’s not just conspiracism because I’m prone to a little bit that myself it won’t ever be any type of conspiracism that doesn’t also align with say a libertarian billionaire’s priorities in public health right like with the AIDS thing it’s look at these gay people doing this inappropriate stuff that is getting them in trouble and we all have to act like it’s it’s our problem when it’s really just their problem same thing with Covid it’s just fat people and we also we shouldn’t have shut down businesses it’s I will be shocked if Brett Weinstein ever comes to a conspiracy that suggests that the government should provide healthcare to everybody as a public good”
For those who don’t know who Brett Weinstein is, he made a name for himself splitting the skeptics community in 2017 and revealing many to be alt-right libertarians, when he criticized non-white student activists for asking white people to stand with them as allies and people were outraged that he was criticized for that. He then went on to become more prominent as a covid denier & anti-vaxxer when the pandemic began, and is so extreme right that he was actually featured in TWO episodes of the Nazi-focused podcast, I Don’t Speak German (episode 60 in July 2020, and episode 90 in July 2021). Brett Weinstein’s brother is also famous, also has a podcast, and used to work for Peter Thiel.
