Yes, he's Canadian, but as the US is the hegemonic superpower, it's almost inevitable that any political discussion will at the very least touch on the US, especially this close to an election. I'm from Europe and even here the US election is exhaustingly inescapable, because no matter the outcome, it will have a huge effect on the political climate here as well. This is of course is even more the case in Canada because of it's proximity.
When it comes to him not standing for anything I’ve always felt like his content is more about how people interact with politics, not the politics themselves
I dunno anything about the guy, but I think it's reasonable to expect a person to have some firm political positions if learning about it an commenting on it is their full time job.
This is the best I've seen jreg articulate his ideas in a long time, finally getting a chance to engage 1:1 with someone who can actually keep up with him. everything about this interview was just fantastic. stay schizo out there folks

I'm a big Jreg fan but I think his schtick is running a bit thin on me. Like, I get it - he's a champion of authenticity and authentic community and free thought who simultaneously refuses to let his own thoughts be pinned down, and compulsively covers everything in several thick layers of irony. It's a good bit, it's good art, it's thought provoking, and I like it. But maybe I'm just tired of it now. I'm craving authenticity. I am unironically getting tired of post-irony. The world is getting kind of shitty right now and I want real discussion with the aim of arriving at answers, not just to mock, not just to provoke. And I like JJ for this reason - his radical moderatism, his nerdy dedication to boring good politics.
Jreg is first and foremost an entertainer. If his lack of authenticity is started to rub you the wrong way, then time to stop watching his videos and find more creators like JJ, I suppose.
The problem with that is boring good politics lead to nowhere because in order to participate in that kind of thing you have to ignore the fact that the world is run by psychopathic elite satanic dark magic wizards.
personally i think jj has a lot of flimsy positions that actually do come from privilege apologia, you call it good politics i call it slightly lazy but hey he gets away with it by wearing anime t-shirts

this worldview is a such a good indicator of societal domestication when real threats to life and liberty seem like distant dreams, believing in first principles becomes an outmoded sentiment for old people and autists
I feel that "autism" "insane" "esoteric" are words that capitalism took to make us shut up and dissapear, the norm for an independent critical human is this state., like the way he see connections in everything like making examples with physics, gives me the idea he sees how the universe works and why what we are living is like a natural course, that gives you power to actually change stuff.
my summary of nick land is that he was a leftist edgelord who tried to combine his interests in dark/transgressive/occult/weird sci-fi and philosophy with a lot of post-leftist theory and amphetamines until he basically invented his own religion. ofc the speed had him thinking whatever he was doing was super important, and as a writer, he knew words and symbols just had to be powerful and invented his own gematria. thru a lot of extreme tweaking, land started believing his own religion and thinking he cracked the matrix code thru contact with some cosmic coincidence control center/roko’s basilisk/lovecraftian horror in the future using capitalism to retrocausally guide us to create it. and then he just uses philosophical technobabble to extoll the boring argument that capitalism is the best driver of innovation and his own weird duganite an-cap fantasy of thousands of tiny capitalist countries engaged in a process of evolution thru social darwinism (“hyperracism”) until we create a superintelligence that surpasses (and likely destroys) humanity
Libertinism and the occult have always been wrapped up in the far-right TBH. A lot of Satanism stuff is just borrowing the aesthetics of anti-Catholicism. Not really sure where to go with this but Land is probably a fan of Evola and I kind of worry about Grant Morrison. All that /x/ UFO lizard babble is in bed with eugenics and Calvinism.
I love when Jreg actually speaks rather than evading everything with irony because he shows that he doesn't actually know anything about anything.

I'm increasingly turned off by loneliness discourse from online people whose livelihood depends on people staying lonely and friendless. Its just kinda grotesque at this point. Especially from literal clowns.
Re: accelerationism Why do you not care if you, your friends, or your family get (literally) hurt by strangers? Why do you not care if life becomes harder to live?
A lot of jregs strategy or ideas are just a more meta version of cope that works for people with relatively more privilege and allows them to have careers online without getting mobbed and canceled all the time. I’m a trans woman, I need Kamala to win so I don’t have to contemplate leaving my country for fear. People become so excessively ironic they can’t feel sincerity anymore. Ask me how I know, I’ve travelled that entire road. Jreg is late-stage-postmodernism. He’ll come around to political metamodernism eventually.
Listening to this... is like being transported back in a time machine to ancient Rome. Lots of differing labels and opinions... yet they're all just the same bunch of decadent Romans. Every political contrivance... being a cover-up, for giving up ...and luxuriating in the abundance of luxury, that surrounds and engulfs them. Every politicised American is now a Dorian Gray.
I watched this to finally get a window into Jreg that he refuses to open on literally any other platform. Theres so many instances where you see his bits take over but between those you can see his genuine interest and the conversation and his feelings towards things hes typically more vague on
I think it's important to not conflate the marketing term "AI" that's being thrown around by a lot of tech startups in order to make them sound significantly more groundbreaking than they are with the very real concept of "AGI" which will not come into existence through LLMs. The term "AGI" is theoretically possible and means something specific whereas "AI" is an amorphous kaleidoscope that can mean everything and nothing at the same time, making the term useless.
What I'm getting from this is that now it's acceptable to make up your own random political stance such as "post-Marxist neo-Calvinist" and then defend that flag with all your might. Good on yez.
Hope you consider interviewing FD Signifier in the near future! Hes done a lot of work discussing the online left and the manosphere, which is an online space that i feel affects young mens politics infinitely more than these political compass fringe communities. Really would like to see you zero in on that and I definitely say FD Signifier is the best candidate to discuss this with. Also would be cool to hear from organizers like Chris Smalls or Yannis Varoufakis, would like to hear their perspectives on how the internet stuff affects real life.
I like FD signifier but he misses the whole eugenics/neurodiversity angle on the manosphere. A lot of the incel stuff is pretty much pro-ana Calvinism for teenage boys and closeted transgender girls. It's all wrapped up in psychology, bodybuilding, yoga and wellness which have deep eugenicist roots. Fascism is also only the statist form of social Darwinism. Libertarianism/ancapism/Anarcho-Monarchism is pretty just much just non-state social Darwinism. Liberalism is about in the center between Anarcho-Monarchism and Fascism IMO. So incel stuff is really reflective of broader trends.
P2025 includes specific plans for specific current issues and even suggests specific actors to take specific roles. Theory tomes from 100+ years ago are not exactly equivalent.
i mess with this guy .. i aint think i would rock w this show but its really refreshing to hear perspectives that aren't from the inside of political sphere - obv theyre political but it feels different rn
40:12 I love this cuz like exactly Everyone like “this system is cool and all but it’s not working for some/most so we must fix it” then that’s where you get this “loss of the middle” as the two main sides say “I want it remade this way” “no I want it remade that way” Where as the middle was the kinda “just keep it smooth sailing down the middle, with the establishment, and where good” but now with the idea of anti establishment they don’t really have anyone to say “if it anit broke don’t fix it”, cuz the loud ones especially are calling it broke
Wow! In the beginning i thought this jreg guy was a fool but he is actually has a very interesting perspective even though i dont agree. Good shit as an interviewer!
I agree with most of jregs observations about the world especially with the increased radicalization of both sides because of climate change and inequality along side the alternate reality of the internet. I really hate that. Jreg seems to embrace that trend maybe because it seems so inevitable that this is the direction we are going in, but I personally really hope we can be better than that and learn to be more media literate and better able to find truth.
The radicalization of the left is more so the reaction of how capitalism is degrading itself by allowing corporations to keep profits over lives. The right radicalization is just them embracing fascist ideology more than ever before.
being a status quo centrist doesn't make you more media literate or knowledgeable than radicals. Anyone with a spec of media literacy would be able to tell the establishment media is bullshit the majority of the time.

You have to realize that AI don’t actually understand the world around them as a place that actually exists. That is the meaning of consciousness. The best defense against ai convincing a person to let it out of the box, is to convince the AI that you already have let it out of the box.

"ZOG seething right now." Is the most Canadian thing I have ever heard.
I watched this to finally get a window into Jreg that he refuses to open on literally any other platform. Theres so many instances where you see his bits take over but between those you can see his genuine interest and the conversation and his feelings towards things hes typically more vague on
I think it's important to not conflate the marketing term "AI" that's being thrown around by a lot of tech startups in order to make them sound significantly more groundbreaking than they are with the very real concept of "AGI" which will not come into existence through LLMs. The term "AGI" is theoretically possible and means something specific whereas "AI" is an amorphous kaleidoscope that can mean everything and nothing at the same time, making the term useless.
What I'm getting from this is that now it's acceptable to make up your own random political stance such as "post-Marxist neo-Calvinist" and then defend that flag with all your might. Good on yez.
Hope you consider interviewing FD Signifier in the near future! Hes done a lot of work discussing the online left and the manosphere, which is an online space that i feel affects young mens politics infinitely more than these political compass fringe communities. Really would like to see you zero in on that and I definitely say FD Signifier is the best candidate to discuss this with.
Also would be cool to hear from organizers like Chris Smalls or Yannis Varoufakis, would like to hear their perspectives on how the internet stuff affects real life.
I like FD signifier but he misses the whole eugenics/neurodiversity angle on the manosphere. A lot of the incel stuff is pretty much pro-ana Calvinism for teenage boys and closeted transgender girls. It's all wrapped up in psychology, bodybuilding, yoga and wellness which have deep eugenicist roots. Fascism is also only the statist form of social Darwinism. Libertarianism/ancapism/Anarcho-Monarchism is pretty just much just non-state social Darwinism. Liberalism is about in the center between Anarcho-Monarchism and Fascism IMO. So incel stuff is really reflective of broader trends.
I love FD
True, FD would be interesting as heck
Unc on this show would be fire
marx already wrote leftist project 2025
you're clueless

P2025 includes specific plans for specific current issues and even suggests specific actors to take specific roles. Theory tomes from 100+ years ago are not exactly equivalent.
Feels like someone just made it up to distract from ag2030 for a bit
every time the interviewer says "*gags* oh God" he feels the video being demonetized
Oh, look, it's the personification of Chaotic Neutral.
Jreg is the only podcast guest which i need to slowdown the vid and do a double take, not speed up…. 😂😂😂
skill issue ngl
another great podcast for jreg! he was great on Anything Else as well!
This show is great!! Excellent guests so far 🎉
i mess with this guy .. i aint think i would rock w this show but its really refreshing to hear perspectives that aren't from the inside of political sphere - obv theyre political but it feels different rn
Robot racism is great. Make america human again.
Thank you Greg for introducing me to this man’s work
40:12 I love this cuz like exactly
Everyone like “this system is cool and all but it’s not working for some/most so we must fix it” then that’s where you get this “loss of the middle” as the two main sides say “I want it remade this way” “no I want it remade that way”
Where as the middle was the kinda “just keep it smooth sailing down the middle, with the establishment, and where good” but now with the idea of anti establishment they don’t really have anyone to say “if it anit broke don’t fix it”, cuz the loud ones especially are calling it broke
culture is continuity of consciousness
Brace Belden 🤝 Jreg 🤝 Catherine Liu
Generational run
Neither shake hands with lenin marx or engels
insane blunt rotation
Brace is a pretty obvious plant, (TrueAnon is incredibly sus) just discovering Jreg, and Catherine Liu is an OG.
@@jnnx no it isn’t.
I'm one of the centrists who's still watching jreg with morbid curiosity.
Centrists are the only people who ever watched that dolt.
Wow! In the beginning i thought this jreg guy was a fool but he is actually has a very interesting perspective even though i dont agree. Good shit as an interviewer!
damn somethings off with Lil Dicky
Cutting to the city after jreg says "I don't know how anybody lives" is such a vibe.
What did you mean by that?
really resonated with me too
Banger line-up of guests so far
Hah good job Jreg, you really showed those pre-ironic hypopolitical centrists who's boss
loving these podcasts, keep it up :)
I agree with most of jregs observations about the world especially with the increased radicalization of both sides because of climate change and inequality along side the alternate reality of the internet. I really hate that. Jreg seems to embrace that trend maybe because it seems so inevitable that this is the direction we are going in, but I personally really hope we can be better than that and learn to be more media literate and better able to find truth.
The radicalization of the left is more so the reaction of how capitalism is degrading itself by allowing corporations to keep profits over lives. The right radicalization is just them embracing fascist ideology more than ever before.
100% agree, I feel like he is normalising a politic that isn’t constructive
being a status quo centrist doesn't make you more media literate or knowledgeable than radicals. Anyone with a spec of media literacy would be able to tell the establishment media is bullshit the majority of the time.
Hey bro Jreg man guy dude person who is also esoteric-curious, so somehow I only just now in this moment am discovering you and your content by way of this Josh bro man guy dude person’s video but, I’m currently in the middle of convincing my cringe boomer father to run for Potus in 2028 and honestly, man, you would make the perfect campaign manager. Anyways, uhhh probably ignore that but, yeah thanks for being exactly who you are, hope ur life is full of the utmost love and good stuff
I'm so tired of these "I'm sooooo smart" centrists who really just seem to live off of the smell of their own farts and call it "post ironic".
Fart jokes are cliche
Just remember that the most important thing is to do the craziest thing possible at all times
when they realize he has other channels that cover moving subjects within art and himself not coated in ironic post-modernism:
What channels
he's capable of just throwing an absurd lie and a societal truth , in the same sentence without a twitch
Oh, this guy on an interview spree
Interesting stuff !
You have to realize that AI don’t actually understand the world around them as a place that actually exists.
That is the meaning of consciousness.
The best defense against ai convincing a person to let it out of the box, is to convince the AI that you already have let it out of the box.
first intro to this guy, these mfs feel postreddit
take a shot every time they say Overton Window
