RoganThere are many other things to consider. Joe Rogan Experience,A three-hour interview was conducted with an author and public speaker Nawaz. The two covered everything from Nawaz’s past as an Islamist to his present stance and work to counter extremism. They also discussed Nawaz’s unique views on the tyrannical tactics of Big Tech. 

Rogan noted that Twitter once was a platform where any information could be shared. “It’s so confusing now,” Rogan said. “You remember in the old days when you would just say, like, ‘@Maajid, I’m having a pizza with friends?’”

Nawaz then slammed the platform as a “weapon now” and suggested that we’re in a “hybrid war” with information being a core part of combat as Twitter and normal people wrestle  over simple definitions of reality. Nawaz alluded to Twitter and said, “If whoever defines reality gets to win, and Twitter is, as a result, in that context, it’s a weapon that is being used to define reality by molding people’s minds.”

Rogan replied, “What’s interesting is the people that are being molded are fiercely defending the rights of those people to mold them.” 

“Yeah, that’s the best way to do it, right?” Nawaz said.  

Nawaz then related slavemaster and extremist tactics to the way that Big Tech, and Twitter specifically, mold people’s minds. 

“If I wanted to enslave you, I don’t think I’d have much of a chance physically, right? I don’t know about you, but I’ve only been training for about a couple of years. Yeah? I would convince you. Use a Jedi mind trick,” he said. “So you voluntarily follow me; that’s the way to do it.”
