Joe Rogan reflects on left-wing authoritarians with rapper Killer Mike: ‘Horrible narcissism, psychotic behavior’
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: UFC commentator Joe Rogan and acclaimed American rapper Killer Mike recently engaged in a thought-provoking discussion that centered around the intense criticism the rapper faced for his political beliefs. This captivating conversation took place during the renowned podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience,' where Mike fearlessly revealed that he was mercilessly attacked by individuals simply because he did not align himself with the Democratic Party. With a keen desire to understand the underlying reasons behind such unjust backlash, Rogan eagerly delved into a recent study on extreme leftists.
Delving into his own beliefs, Rogan astutely recalled his previous affiliation and inclination towards left-wing ideologies.

'Horrible psychotic behavior'

He explained that the study unraveled a myriad of psychological conditions that were similar to debilitating disorders such as narcissism and psychotic behavior. Rogan delved deep into the complexities of human ideology, acknowledging that within any ideological group, whether it be left or right, there will inevitably be individuals who are fanatical. The danger arises when these fringe figures go unchecked, resulting in the unfortunate association of the group as a whole with their worst aspects.
"There was a study that was done recently about left-wing authoritarianism and the way certain people behave. It's like a bunch of different psychological conditions that are almost indistinguishable from like, you know, horrible narcissism, horrible psychotic behavior," Joe Rogan said.
“What happens is, when you have groups that are ideological groups, whether it's the left or the right, you're going to get people that just join that group that are absolutely insane and if you don't call it out, then you have a giant problem because people are going to associate you with whatever the worst aspects of your [group]" he added.
Previously, Rogan has expressed that he was leaned towards left-wing a few philosophies and was a devotee to radical ideas like subsidized medical coverage and general fundamental pay as they helped in the improvement of society. Rogan and Killer Mike tackled the topic of political backlash head-on. Rogan and Mike emphasized the dire need for open-mindedness and rational discourse in today's polarized world.
