That need can be easily hijacked, most evident with the toxic empathy on the left, but in young men on the right, particularly during times of war. We are seeing a lot of conservative “influencers” preying on that need, guiding it it for the benefit of whoever is paying the influencer. As for Rogan, it is true that he is a mover of the conversation, but he can also limit it.

I’m glad you did not think my comment too critical.
