Topic | CNN Compares Joe Rogan's n-word Controversy To 1/6, Genocide |
professor_jack 02/14/22 7:36:08 PM #6: | Unfortunately it does not look like the original article was cached, so I'm not sure if they changed anything but the headline. Original Headline: "Joe Rogan's use of the n-word is another January 6 moment." And if you read the article even as it is it contains things like this: The podcaster Joe Rogan did not join a mob that forced lawmakers to flee for their lives. He never carried a Confederate flag inside the US Capitol rotunda. No one died trying to stop him from using the n-word. But what Rogan and those that defend him have done since video clips of him using the n-word surfaced on social media is arguably just as dangerous as what a mob did when they stormed the US Capitol on January 6 last year. "When unwritten rules are violated over and over, we become overwhelmed -- and then desensitized," Levitsky wrote. "We grow accustomed to what we previously thought to be scandalous." And this article contains this image: https://i.imgur.com/8YbmjfP.png So I can see why some might have found it a bit hyperbolic. --- "Let's see what's gonna kill us slowly!" - Jack Packard, Wheel of the Worst #6 ...
