This week on Inspire Change, Gunter is unpacking something big, one of the biggest masculine influencers out there! Yes, we are going to have a very thoughtful conversation on, you guessed it-- JOE ROGAN: Misinformatoin and the Masculine Echo Chamber.. While some feathers will be ruffled, but feel free to engage in a thoughtful discussion and challenge Gunter with your thoughts.
Now this conversation is not about about taking down the man, but its about breakdown on Joe's influence on men and culture. Rogan claims he is a just a guy who asks questions, but he is more than that. He is shaping a culture, he is a platform and he constantly features guests who promote: control, old school ideals on what it means to be a man, dominance, emotional attachment, His guests like Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson reinforce a world where feminism is a threat, and vulernability is a weakness. Rogan rarely challenges these positions and he normalizes them. He creates a false since of balance and presents harmful ideologies as if they are normal. SO LETS DIVE RIGHT IN
On a side note: Gunter Swoboda and Lorin Josephson's neo-noir/supernatural thriller novel Amulets of Power, Book I A Brian Poole Mystery is officially ON SALE EVERYWHERE you like to get book, but if you want a discount please consider ording direct.
