I think Neil is being played for a fool by his handlers

Interesting idea. To what end?

My Boomer 75 year old Mom and Dad (had he lived) would have been the propaganda targets of Neil's content and as HUUUUUGE fans of his they would have been on board with the authoritarian bullshit.

A fool to us, a hero to them.

To the same end as all the other people calling for Spotify to dump Rogan, to silence Rogan.

My reasoning is this: Young can not have any real opinion on Rogan. If he heard him, how could he have a problem with him? Rogan's interviews are great, but not shocking, not edgy, not anything that should bother anyone. So, what is motivating him? Is he so stupid and reactionary that Don Lemon or the real "fear factory" got him off his couch and motivated him on his own to demand Spotify choose between them? It strikes me as very odd.

I don't think I'm giving Young too much credit, or expressing disappoint in him. I'm just thinking that he is being moved by the same forces that are moving all these other idiots clamoring for censorship.

Yes. A pawn in the propaganda war to train you to stay in line remain in fear, especially fear of truths.
