1. About #JoeRogan and his comment on Biden X Trump.

I know this is too abstract for Americans but you are not talking about real people: you are talking about "agents" in a political "field".

2. Rogan's support of Sanders, Sanders sectarian refusal to compose a coalition and Rogan's statement that Trump is an option are as clear as water.

3. Rogan declared his "option" for Trump over Biden (when we all know that there is no option: it's fascism or barbarianism) now. And now is when Trump has his highest public support ratings.

4. There are no coincidences because this is a field with agents. Stop thinking of them as people. The "piece" Rogan was played at the right moment, when the "piece" Trump-puppet reached his highest-ever approval rate.

5. It is not that complicated. That's how politics is done. Rogan doesn't need to know anything: he just needs to follow instructions. He's a pawn in this game for a long time. That is this pawn's move.

6. I don't like or dislike Rogan. Or Trump or whoever. In their little corner, they are people. On the public sphere, they are not, nor am I.

Except I'm not a relevant piece in this game (nor I will ever be, by choice).

7. That's all. Save your emotions. You will lose a lot of people to the pandemic. Don't waste your emotional output on a game you have zero control over.
