"It's easier to fool people than to convince them they've been fooled"
Joe Rogan exists to gatekeep just like Alex Jones. Alex Jones exists to discredit any legitimate inquiry into conspiracy, and Rogan exists to conflate it with drug induced hallucination.
Their mission is to deride legitimate inquiry into (CIA JFK assassination term) "CONSPIRACY" research so that any findings are dismissed by the general public. They are weapons against truth. They are high profile weapons in controlling public consciousness of various events, especially of those on the fringe into getting tripped up on the firewall.
For instance, the "firewall" for pizzagate is that Epstein fucked underage girls. The reality is they had an underground satanic child sacrifice temple and the blackmail was for Mossad. You can see how the first is much less shocking and impactful than the second. The tactic is to isolate Epstein, ignore and deride the connections to people like Prince Andrew, British aristocracy etc, and paint it as an isolated incident
