“Like, who the f*ck gets to decide what’s information? Only the government? The people that have lied about basically everything?”

“One of the things that has been discussed is cracking down on misinformation, and that free speech doesn’t include misinformation, which is a wild thing to say after what we just went through with COVID, where what people were saying was misinformation turned out to be a 100% true. And not just about COVID, but about a bunch of things, Hunter Biden laptop story. There’s quite a few different things you could point to.”

This whole video is a great listen.

TRANSCRIPT

Joe Rogan: Because one of the things that has been discussed is “cracking down on misinformation”, and that “Free Speech doesn’t include misinformation,” which is a wild thing to say, after what we just went through, with COVID, where what people were saying was “misinformation” turned out to be 100% true.

And not just about COVID, but about a bunch of things, the Hunter Biden laptop story, there’s quite a few different things you could point to.

Like, who the f@ck gets to decide what’s information? Only the government? You guys? The people that have lied about basically everything? Like, this is a crazy thing to say, and to be running on that, and to get people to support that!

Just the lack of understanding of what it means to be able to freely express ideas and communicate and whistleblowers; whistleblowers from corporations that are telling you about something they’re doing, it’s illegal. Whistleblowers, from government agents that are telling you they’re spying on you, when it’s illegal – all that sh!t.

Like, to have that be filtered through the government is an insane position!

And yet, that’s something that they talk about, and this is something, bizarrely that the Left supports.

Well, even if, because even if it is, most of the stuff they call “misinformation” isn’t – but in the case when there’s something that is misinformation, it’s just not true, plenty of that goes around the internet.

That’s still Free Speech, too. You have the right to say things that are not, as long as you’re not slandering somebody, you have the right to make claims about the world that don’t happen to be true.

So the idea that that doesn’t qualify as Free Speech is, of course, absurd. But then, that also requires some central authority to be the arbiter of what is true and what is not.

And it’s like a childish view of truth and lies.
