Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Does anyone have suggestions for a gentle de-radicalization along these lines? I wish I had more books, podcasts and YouTubers to send people drifting into the Rogan-verse 3361079106
lordfrieza.bsky.social @lordfrieza.bsky.social · 25/02/2025This doesn’t quite sound right but since you said “not a book”….Contrapoints? I’ve seen multiple guys in her comments say some version of “these videos stopped me from becoming an asshole,” and it makes sense really 1330
Adam @adamronhovde.bsky.social · 25/02/2025@knowrogan.bsky.social is a new pod breaking down Joe's credulity and bullshit with a skeptical lens. Excellent work! 070
Ian Danskin @innuendostudios.bsky.social · 25/02/2025I mean, I dunno, you could try this youtu.be/P55t6eryY3g?...youtu.beThe Alt-Right Playbook: How to Radicalize a NormieYouTube video by Innuendo Studios 5562
Leah @leah.myatproto.social · 25/02/2025We need service clubs to somehow come back in fashion, like I'd honestly send them to the Lion's Club if they are from a rural area. That, or tell em to start a band with some others with similar tastes. Dudes are lonely! 080
The Awful Rowing Towards Texas🏳⚧ @estrocringe.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Outlaw country, genuinely: Jerry Jeff Walker Willie Waylon Jennings Johnny Cash Kris Kristofferson The Highwaymen a lot of progressive messaging in a mostly masculine fun package. Certainly has its issues, but a wayyy better starting point. I always use it to make inroads with conservatives 170
Erika @raddishh.bsky.social · 25/02/2025I think he should volunteer and walk dogs at an animal shelter. Shelters tend to have both young people and retired people who volunteer, animals work wonders for toxic masculinity in prisons so I assume they'd be fine out of prisons, it gives purpose and it's fun. 030
Sad Gay Bird @asingingpenguin.bsky.social · 25/02/2025I know a few people have said Contrapoints, but I think specifically her video on Men is going to be a soft landing spot. PhilosophyTube MIGHT be good too, but she can sometimes be very intellectual and would depend on where the person is at (Her Men Abuse & Trauma might be very good) 030
Blåhaj Blast @blahajblastoise.bsky.social · 25/02/2025As others have recommended: - Dropout TV - McElroy podcasts (MBMBaM, The Adventure Zone, Sawbones, etc.) Both are "edgy" comedy (lol) that lean left and have great communities. 1130
wilp @youaretraffic.bsky.social · 25/02/2025i think i would ask them to come to a place where they can help people in a way that is not overly politicized. maybe not go volunteer at a soup kitchen but a ridealong with meals on wheels? 2270
Colby Mecher @colbymecher.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Purely comedy, and irreverent but Stavys World is funny, he’s got left politics but he’s a dirtbag. Not for everyone, but if they’re veering that way, Stavvy is adjacent enough but not a fascist simp 000
Give me trolleys or give me death @trollyman.bsky.social · 25/02/2025I would highly recommend Belle of the ranch youtube.com/@beauofthefi...

Kot (he/they) @bibliotekot.bsky.social · 25/02/2025@innuendostudios.bsky.social has a great series of videos called "The alt-right playbook" which would probably work. They're well made, and have a lot of depth. @wtyppod.bsky.social is a good de-radicalization pipeline as well. A great engineering disaster podcast besides that. 0120
Dr Audrey Glover @draudreyglover.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Sometimes the greatest help is to just volunteer to go help other people - be that old neighbors, school children, the homeless, teach kids to read or play sports, even join a sports club. We can get wrapped up in our (online)world forgetting that there are actual people we could help. 050
OverUnderClover. America i cant w/you right now. @overunderclover.bsky.social · 25/02/2025I would say is there any guy in the world they DO feel has it together that isn't a piece of shit like this? Have them talk to that person more, and explain what losers they feel like these conmen are and why. 000

I feel like they do a pretty good job as entertainers and commentators, while eschewing both toxic masculinity and the scolding impulse. 000
Annie D. Piombo @prostoserdov.bsky.social · 25/02/2025my recommendation is that anything they do alone - including read a book etc - will not help. the best way to de-radicalize someone is to involve them in activities that are A) social B) rewarding my go-tos are rock climbing, the gun range, and trail-work 130
Baja Blastronaut @rawlers.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Pretty sure @somemorenews.bsky.social has something for that in this episode youtu.be/GHkhTIEe254?...youtu.beAre Men Okay? – SOME MORE NEWSYouTube video by Some More News 030

Aurora 🩷💜💙 @briarrose1987.bsky.social · 25/02/2025@wilwheaton.net 's memoir Still Just A Geek comes to mind. Wil is so clear-eyed and holds his past self accountable for how and why he fell into the toxicity of that way of thinking, and what it took for him to fight his way out of it. 120
Loren @lmburr.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Dropout TV, especially Game Changer. It is mostly jokes and theater kids clowning on each other, but that is the Trojan horse for the diverse cast and regular anticapitalist messaging 51031
Hugh @hughrawlinson.me · 25/02/2025Your work!! YWA, MP and IBBK. Usually people are talking about a specific culture war issue, and a lot of the time you have covered it somewhere or other. Then if they don’t pull a stupid boomer “I don’t like how their voice sounds and they swear too much”, they get hooked on your thorough analysis. 1100
WizardCat @markseventwo.bsky.social · 25/02/2025The podcast Tooth and Claw. Its about animal attacks, but its hosted by a wildlife biologist and focuses on conservation and science.

Amelia Chappelow @ameliachappelow.bsky.social · 25/02/2025The best guest in this topic is Dr Jackson Katz, we recorded a couple of episodes with him on Jameela Jamil’s podcast and he’s incredible in this space 000
Abs @anustrt.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Honestly? Libbing out here but John Oliver. He’s quippy and a good entertainer and often is able to discuss progressive viewpoints through a topic people haven’t been radicalized on yet (like international politics, SLAPP suits, Civil Forfeiture, etc). 150
Kevin White @kevinwhitejr.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Not sure if it’s overly academic but one thing I’ve noticed underpins this whole “movement” to some degree is fake history. Kinda like that post about everyone saying Elon is a genius when he talked about stuff I didn’t understand and then he talked about stuff I did and realized he was an idiot. 040

Chico Arraes @chicoarraes.bsky.social · 26/02/2025I don't know if gentle is the ideal approach... early Contrapoints used to be really awesome with this, but I don't know if those videos still exist. 020
dynamoxie.bsky.social @dynamoxie.bsky.social · 26/02/2025Honestly, I thought of W. Kamau Bell's CNN show (now on HBO Max? maybe?) "United Shades of America." Maybe only if someone has already listened to his interviews with Rogan first as a gateway? Also, what's Bill Burr been up to, lately? 030
Doug Greig 😷🍁☮️⚖️📚🎵 @douggreigyyc.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Old guy here. Been rewatching Taxi episodes. One foot in 70s/80s backwardness, but the male characters are all at various stages of learning how to be better men.

Maddy @fullofwhoa.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Maybe find out what this person’s interests are and find some content that is related to it that is de-radicalize-y? I also came across a podcast called the Know Rogan Experience that kind of reviews episodes of Joe Rogan. 000
Braden @niyate.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Hasan Abi, people sometimes squabble with particulars but he has the positionality to appeal to men and has the patience to meet stupid replyguy responses with explanations at their level 070
busillis @busillis.bsky.social · 25/02/2025While it's probably not, technically speaking, de-radicalizing, the podcast Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff is pretty good. 0150
New Mexico Man @newmexicoman.bsky.social · 25/02/2025A Brief History of Time or Rum Punch are good choices. 000

seth @sethdujour.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Your kickstarter sucks! Great podcast. Very funny but also genuinely likable dudes with good politics. 071
Tom @tbestig.bsky.social · 25/02/2025In my experience guys like this don’t respond to gentle stuff, what they like out of Rogan et al is the bravado and dunking. Since they’ll reject any dunking on their own positions, I’d recommend Dunk Content™ that focuses on going after “apolitical” but right-leaning misinformation 230
robarch27.bsky.social @robarch27.bsky.social · 25/02/20252 suggestions 1.Twitch streamers focusing on variety gaming. Most mid level to low streamers avoid controversial topics like the plague (fear losing subs). Good opportunity for parasocial relations. 2.become a gym rat. Obsessing over gains is better than radicalizing. 000
Cody @happyconfusion.com · 25/02/2025It very much so depends on why the person is engaging with Rogan in the first place, but the below are all really entertaining while also being good choices for either direct refutation or indirect replacement for shit like Rogan. 110
mcfungusface.bsky.social @mcfungusface.bsky.social · 25/02/2025The Fifth Risk is an easy read, and although it is supposed to be about how Trump v1.0 was not interested in transition, it was really about how freaking cool and important the work of the Fed Gov’t is 000

Jesse Barnes @jsbarnes.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Behind the Bastards usually isn't gentle (and sometimes involves machetes) but it's almost always fun. 0100
Taco Sommelier @tacosommelier.bsky.social · 25/02/2025I played in an over-30 sunday soccer league because I love soccer and wanted to get in better shape. Turns out I made a bunch of new friends too!

Friend Titan @friend-titan.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Behind the Bastards. I generally think that there is enough dudeness there and the early episodes are quiet about the politics. I think the key is not deradicalizing but solving alienation. Leftist podcasts with a chatty audience, and hobbies are great. 0220

Mega-Carnie @mega-carnie.bsky.social · 25/02/2025The problem is that no pushback can be gentle enough. His feed is priming him that all counter-messaging is manipulation.

Dr Bendigeidfran 🏴 @lazycynic.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Personally I think podcasts Knowledge Fight and QAA are pretty great. They focus specifically on right wing figures/groups and completely break down all of the bullshit claims that they make. I’d say they’re not overly “woke” either but that could be my bias 010
Dr. Kaitlyn M. Sims @kaitsims.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Honestly I might take a bit of a left turn and go for something that doesn’t feel to him like it’s “about him” like Educated. Still hits the importance of social services, education, overt control, religiosity, conspiracy theories, etc but in a way that feels like it’d be at arm’s length. 000
Ian Boudreau @ianboudreau.com · 25/02/2025Might be worth suggesting Henry Rollins' spoken word stuff 1701
Ruthie T @condiala.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Hasan Piker because he uses some very familiar language and reactivity to people in those situations but then says a lot of ultimately reasonable things.

mossgardener.bsky.social @mossgardener.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Fine Homebuilding podcast- great bunch of guys who promote careers in the trades and give great renovation advice. Terrific advice for homeowners 000
Strobe Lazer 🏴☠️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ @stroblaizer.bsky.social · 25/02/2025HASANABI is the only non cringe and correct answer I literally hate to say 010
sammysnack.bsky.social @sammysnack.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Stavvy’s World or the Downside might be good podcasts. Not too serious, left leaning comedians 010
crumbled columns @crumbledcolumns.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Stuff from the Some More News podcast is always good for specific issues IMO 020
jennystrath.bsky.social @jennystrath.bsky.social · 25/02/2025The Blindboy Podcast has some great mental health podcasts. But also has a bit of the conspiracy hit, but harmless things like, "How Baileys Irish Cream is from a sex cult," and "Our modern vision of Hell is from Cork." I feel it would be a good substitute. 060
Giant Space Ants @spaceants.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Some ideas for "dudes hanging out" podcasts that aren't toxic: Doughboys Blank Check The Flop House Podcast: The Ride Guys 010
AdroitRev @adroitrev.bsky.social · 25/02/2025I actually think If Books Could Kill podcast would be great for this sort of thing. Comedy content and there is some overlap in enemies. 0240
caverylittle.bsky.social @caverylittle.bsky.social · 25/02/2025My general recommendation is something that appeals to egalitarianism and open societies as needing to be enthusiastically defended through heroic action. History (from the right perspective) is a good place to find this. Specifically, I recommend Mike Duncan’s Revolutions podcast. 1120
unluca★★★ @unlucastarstarstar.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Why not just Chapo? It's mean and edgy, but with worthier targets 030
RafaelEsteban 🇩🇴 🇨🇴 🗽 @rafaelesteban04.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Stavros Halkias’ content might be it. If you’re unfamiliar with him he’s a comic that is friends with all of the “Rogan-pilled” comics, but doesn’t follow the herd. Very good at speaking the language of that demographic wgile challenging their points of view. youtube.com/@stavvybaby?...youtube.comStavros HalkiasSee me live on The Dreamboat Tour 🛥️💕!!

Now with dance mode! @lauramarie.bsky.social · 25/02/2025That reminds me--that episode of You're Wrong About you did about older people and Fox News several years ago was great, but I think we need something similar about Rogan/the manosphere for the younger generations 000

All also in a similar format to rogan, with not overtly leftist undertones until you learn to recognize it (except bhopal. That one is rough though) 010
LettuceHater @lettuce-hater.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Belle of the Ranch on YouTube (formerly her husband's channel, Beau of the Fifth Column). They're both badass in a special way Rogan wishes he was. 021
Randy Potemkin @wisco-disco.bsky.social · 25/02/2025This is a shot in the dark, but maybe left wing guntube like tacticool girlfriend or inrange? 040
Perra @perrafortunata.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Maybe inviting someone to a gathering of non-radicals, like a potluck, art show, square dance, music show, to remind them how good they can feel? 000

Galaxy Class War @galaxyclasswar.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Late to the game but Stavvy’s World is a really great intro into not being an off putting weirdo that isn’t explicitly focused on politics. 000
MP @mapp.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Part of the reason this stuff speaks to them is that they are bored and lonely. Go to lunch, find a volunteer project, get them out of the house. 010
Matt @movematt.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Be chill to these poor snowflakes But really, I’ve spent time on this precipice. I genuinely wish god speed to the asker and I also wish I had something to offer. Basic training in August 2001 is what helped me. Nothing like having gay comrades in arms while we go to war to wake my Midwest ass up 180
Rosie Planet Dev @connorleary64.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Honestly, depending on the episode I'd say chapo trap house 030
Esther @clawhammercrone.bsky.social · 25/02/2025If the guy is even a little into sports, I'd say send Defector articles. Ease in with the sports and the cooking and the very great articles about putting bologna on cyber trucks and then branch out into their political stuff. 160

🍂 Maple Cinnamon Claire Season🍂 @greenw77.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Certainly in terms of misogyny, Will Hitchens (insta, YouTube, etc) is my favourite. He talks about masculinity, dating, the grift of manosphere content, there plenty of funny & short form he’s done. Always a choice. 110
Devin𓅃 @devin-eleven.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Take him to a bar, help him relax in a social environment. It sounds like he is drowning in his own isolation. Bookwise, Legion of the Damned. That should at least help steer him away from Nazis. 000
Mark Schmidt @markschmidt.io · 25/02/2025Michael Lewis isn’t the best author (see him getting suckered by SBF in Going Infinite) but I thought The Fifth Risk was really great at exposing the complexity, fragility, and importance of government systems that we all depend on. 050
The other robot @emitc2h.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Ah yes Knowledge Fight. Dan will appeal to the types who think they’re super rational. Jordan will annoy the frick out of them at first, but when they come around to like Jordan, that’s when you know the deradicalization has been successful. 060

Super straight white guy @subparhetdude.bsky.social · 25/02/2025I feel like links, podcasts, more videos and book recommendations are just easy to ignore. I don't know what the answer is but maybe a couple of friends doing a subtle intervention? 000

Shireen @sheermean.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Not gentle & with some problems but I think someone like Hasan Piker is a possible antidote. Seems lofty to try and reach someone drifting that way with anything other than a dude in the package/style they are looking for and trust, but with a different message. 11410

Amyville Hoyrror @amyhoy.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Drew Gooden on YT. he does a lot of sort of manosphere-adjacent content (scams, ways modern society sucks, commentary) but always with a good lens and he works his beliefs into basically every video and he makes fun of himself a lot and is not confrontational 1190
Charlie, No @charliewhy.bsky.social · 25/02/2025@whatahellofawaytodad.com and @lionsledbydonkeys.bsky.social and all adjacent affiliates remain my standbys for this kind of thing 030

Iysha @iamiysha.bsky.social · 25/02/2025The Ringer has a lot of interesting podcasts. Maybe Mike Duncan’s podcasts, they are historical but not too academic. 040
Our Lady of Perpetual Disappointment @rkfatheree.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Is he able-bodied? What are his hobbies/interests? If he can find an outlet - rock climbing, hiking/biking club, train museum, Habitat for Humanity - something physical that requires some conversation is best. Ideally co-ed so he can practice being friends with women without the pressure of dating. 060
Mike Williams @redmcwilliams.bsky.social · 25/02/2025I'm thinking a more science focused podcast, something like The Skeptics Guide to the Universe. A good way to combat a lot of the ideas Rogan espouses without being overly confrontational. 040
The Cooler @thegreencooler.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Behind the Bastards for sure. Accurate history with humor and it just sounds like talking to your dude friend who is really well-read on that ONE topic while you toss back a couple of beers. It also points to ACTUAL societal problems without browbeating or lecturing. 070
