"Evil almost won that one" - Joe Rogan shares unfiltered take on what scares the world about Poland's push for ethnic homogeneity

Joe Rogan recently shared his thoughts on the growing global pushback against Poland's emphasis on maintaining demographic homogeneity. The social and political discourse in Poland has focused on the concept of national homogeneity, leading to strict immigration policies and measures regarding refugees.

Some members of the intellectual community view Poland's pursuit of homogeneity as a threat to the principles of inclusivity and diversity. Conversely, others support Poland's policies, pointing to low rates of violent crime, terrorist attacks, and communal tension in Poland, especially when compared to rising issues in countries like Sweden, France, and the UK in recent years.

In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast that aired on March 13, Rogan highlighted that Poland's striving for homogeneity - often perceived as an aim for an "all-white country" - is frequently criticized. However, he noted that this same idea is rarely challenged when discussing the racial or cultural identities of other nations, such as China. Rogan said:

"It's also a thing when an all-white country wants to stay all-white,w where people get very nervous of. If you have, let's say, China... Like, China is Chinese people. We all agree that it's filled primarily with Chinese people. There's people who live there from all walks of life, from all over the world. But it's mostly Chinese people. If China had decided they wanted to remain Chinese, and stay Chinese and that being Chinese is very important to what China is, no one would have a problem with that."

Rogan explained why he thinks there is a global backlash when a white-majority country like Poland advocates for homogeneity. He noted that the promotion of racial and cultural homogeneity among white populations is often linked to Nazi ideology, which led to World War II, a conflict of global scale.

Rogan suggested that Poland's push for homogeneity might be getting associated with concerns about similar consequences, resulting in significant opposition to the country's immigration and integration policies. He added:

"When a country like Poland does it, you're like, 'Oh, those white people! They want to keep everybody out. They want to be all white.' That's post-World War II. That's post-Aryan race talk, that's post-Nazi talk. That's what people are most legitimately freaked out about. That's the most recent stain in our history, where we look back and say, 'Wow, that was close. Evil almost won that one."
