Why is the carnivore diet a thing? Why do Jordan Peterson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Joe Rogan, and Tucker Carlson care what you eat? What exactly is ‘slonking?’ And behind all the sillyness, why does this all actually really really matter?

    i legitimately thought “Raw Egg Nationalist” was a fake name the authors of this invented for comedic effect using a simplistic naming formula for these meat reactionaries.

    i never hear of these people through the algo. its always some IRL person bringing them up as an example of ludicrous shit online. like i had inly heard of “Liver King” after his star had cratered. it is blowing my mind that such an obvious bullshitter was turning over 8 figures in revenues for their supplements (and they used to be a pharma sales rep LMAO).

    im not really a fan of the nearly 6 hour YT video format, but so far this delivers a great combo if education and entertainment.

    EDIT: legit, this video has been my only direct exposure to the rhetoric of the meaty-man-o-sphere. the joe rogan ad for “alpha brain” is fucking killing me. first, the name is hilarious, and then the ad is fucking notoriously stupid Joe Rogan talking about how he uses it every day. i have no clue what’s in it or how its meant to work, but my every instinct is saying to stay away from it or ill end up with a head full of buttery sawdust like fucking Rogan. how is this a commercial and why is it successful!!?
