The short ver of my Greater Theory of Jo* Rog*n is: he is a central distribution point for acquiring & funneling people into the more hard core transphobia, sexism & racism of an entire movement of bad skeptics whose primary organizing principle = 1950s America was peak society.

He is one of two flavors of self-identified skeptics. One flavor is interested in applying the tools of scientific inquiry to their every day life and challenging all assumptions, which can get annoying, but is fine...

The other finds that too much work & sorta share a mutual understanding of an imaginary version of America in the 1950s and any thinking that matches that concept they automatically agree with and anything that challenges it they will argue w/on principle. "Just asking questions"

These 'skeptics in behalf of the status quo' tend to use key phrases to mask the fact that their philosophical approach values white men over all others: western civilization, the west, M*n's R*ghts, etc... It's bad thinking and a bad approach and we shouldn't support it.

On the bottom of this acquisition funnel are the straight up N*zis. R*g*n is on the top of the funnel, if he realizes it or not. I dunno what to do about that, but this construct to understand this community is much more useful than the *ntell*ctual d*rk web bs.

It helps me better understand how huge swaths of the atheist movement (which is inside this duel skeptics community) have become racist, why there are a bunch of semi-liberal trans- and homophobes, and how a whole variety of wildly different assholes stick together.

It does not help me better figure out solutions or how to peel this group's listeners/consumers away from the alt-r*ght.

There's a pretty large community of skeptics and many don't fall into this funnel and if I had unlimited money and time I'd probably invest some of it in entering the movement and interrogating what differentiates the two groups because that might be useful information.
