Podcaster Joe Rogan has blasted the media and leftists for ignoring a massive crackdown on free speech and a move toward total dystopian surveillance in the UK, while focusing instead on Jimmy Kimmel being suspended for a few days.
“The fact that our mainstream media is relatively silent on this is insane,” Rogan stated during a recent episode of his show.
“This is an Orwell nightmare coming to life right in front of our face,” he further warned.
Joe Rogan expresses pure OUTRAGE over the media rushing to defend Jimmy Kimmel while saying nothing as the UK government ARRESTS people for speech.

“You’re seeing a complete, total attack on one of the most fundamental principles of the Western world, which is your ability to express yourself,” Rogan continued, adding “And your ability to call out that you think that the policies that are being implemented in your country are destructive.”
Referring to people who have been arrested and even imprisoned for social media posts, Rogan noted “These people are not calling for violence. They’re not. They’re being arrested for wild things. People are being arrested for liking posts. Some people were investigated for viewing posts.”
He further cautioned that “12,000 people arrested by the police in the UK, the same place that just implemented digital ID.”
“No one’s flinching, no one in America is freaking out about what’s happening in the UK at all,” Rogan urged.
“I mean, you get people online that are kind of freaked out by it, but they’re way more freaked out by nonsensical things like whether or not what Jimmy Kimmel said in his monologue was offensive. They’ll go to the ends of the earth to fight that,” he asserted.
As we have highlighted, Prime Minister Kier Starmer recently announced Chinese communist-style digital tracking is coming to the UK with a new mandatory “right to work” scheme in the form of a universal ID called the “Brit Card”.
It’s all predicated on the back of out of control mass illegal immigration, with the leftists using the crisis created by the previous Conservative government and amplified by Starmer’s cabal in an attempt to rollout Orwellian style surveillance and control.
While they claim the scheme will help to stop “illegal” immigrants from crossing the channel by denying them access to work, the possibilities for control via biometric tracking are endless.
Meanwhile, the police in Britain are still visiting people’s homes in the middle of the night to interrogate them about spicy Faceboook posts.
Have they not got any actual crime to investigate or prevent? There sure seems to be a lot going on.

Joe Rogan has clearly decided that the level of weird stuff in his own country is so high, that he cannot find a distraction for his audience in his own country, he has to point at the UK, a country that there is no reason to think he understands. If “free speech” means anything, it should mean that you are free to speak about your own country, not desperate to talk about other countries because you are scared witless of saying anything about your own country.
And he is, of course, wrong about the state of free speech in the UK. But that is to be expected for somebody who isn’t even here and has had his mind warped by American politics.
““The fact that our mainstream media is relatively silent on this is insane,”
Because the Liberal MSMEDIA, (97% Liberal) are all rubbing their hands just waiting for free speech & the 2nd amendmnt to disappear here too.
They don’t wanna be called “hypocrats” if that happened, do they? lolol
Clever, isn’t it? They created a problem through mass immigration so that they could “solve” it by not actually solving it at all but instead instating an Orwellian state.
Reminds me of Star Wars Episode 2. The Emperor-to-be creates a drone army which he then takes out by creating a clone army, which he then uses to hold on to power. He created his own problem to cause more problems.
