Jreg: Post-Ironic Hyper-Political Extremism | Doomscroll

My guest is ‪@JREG‬ or Greg Guevara as he is known offline. Jreg is a popular YouTube creator who explores online radical politics. Greg joins me to discuss our shared fascination with incredibly niche ideologies that only exist online. We explore social atomization as a political project and agree that taking the friend pill is the best advice you can find.   / joshuacitarella   Jreg is a Canadian YouTuber, musician, and political satirist known for surreal comedy videos that parody extremist ideologies, internet culture, and online political communities. He gained a large following through his “Centricide” video series, which personifies political ideologies as fictional characters in an absurdist narrative. 0:00 Intro 0:37 New patch update for politics 5:40 Jamaal Bowman campaign 8:35 Post-irony 15:15 Subculture & sub-categories 25:08 Exploring online politics 34:44 Trust in the mainstream media? 39:31 Political realignment 48:25 Real community 59:09 Social atomization 1:04:52 Al vs Primitivism 1:12:45 The life of an artist
