Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.

      No, its a bizarre thing to say, just like if someone said serf-minded, slave-minded, or using any other economic group minded.

      How is that trolling? imo that was quite a funny point, if the original phrase was meant to be an insult, it was a very weird one.

        You’re not missing anything, people either think you’re defending Rogan by pointing out the insult or they just don’t care about the fact that the insult is degrading for peasants.

        Calling someone a peasant as a humorous jab is okay, but using it as a serious insult isn’t.

        Pay no mind to these overly censorious bastards; you say what you want to say. Nothing wrong with being a peasant though, I actually agree with that. But you can use it as an insult if you feel like it.
