      My understanding is Ye/his guardians have not paid his taxes, so the IRS froze his bank account. Ye thinks the bank and some imagined Jewish oversight force took away his bank account.

      Ye is crazy, Rogan is an ass, and we’d all be better off denying both of these fucks the attention they crave.

      I came here to say the same thing.

      “If you ban it, then people want to hear it more, and then it becomes more popular,"

      Me: Yeah, banning things tends to make them more popular a lot of the time. Probably won’t happen in this case but sure…

      "…and then it kind of supports what he says, which is that there’s this concerted effort, if you talk about Jewish people, that they’re going to remove you from everything,”

      No, that’s not how that works… But Rogan is well-known to be pretty dumb (in addition to being ignorant). So maybe he’s just confused.

      “Remove you from banking, which is what he’s saying. They run everything.”

      Nope! He’s just a scumbag. All benefit of the doubt is gone with that statement.

      We can all safely mark Rogan down as an actual Nazi now 👍

      …and to those public figures who get accused of being a Nazi (like this) let me tell you something: The way to swing yourself out of it is to not just say, “I’m not a Nazi” or “You’re stupid if you think I’m a Nazi.” You say, “I fucking HATE Nazis!” (loudly and publicly). Then you point to other Nazis like Rogan and Ye and spell out, specifically why their beliefs are wrong. Then maybe make a huge, public donation to a pro-LGBTQ+ organization and say something like, “attacking minorities is wrong!”, “Trans people are harmless! Leave them alone”, and then later you can clarify your position with something like, “Genocide is wrong—and that’s why I’m mad at Israel; not Jews, specifically.”

        The fact that this obvious public relations formula, which someone pretty crappy at heart could put on as a front, sounds like advice from an all-star agent right now…
