Welcome to the best center-right political channel you've never heard of! I make commentary videos on politics, social issues, and anything I find meaningful at the time. I'm also into religion, spirituality, and philosophy, and I try to integrate those topics into my videos whenever possible.
You're Probably Wrong About Brian Thompson
A (perhaps unpopular) perspective on the UnitedHealthcare CEO situation. What moral lines must someone cross before we're okay with vigilantism? Are we headed toward a revolution? And is that... good? THE ANSWER MAY SURPRISE YOU.

JREG Implodes: The Destiny Podcast You'll Never See

JREG joins Destiny and Dan on the Anything Else podcast, and ironically (?) melts down. Was it all a bit? Was it irony poisoning at its worst? I HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS (maybe).
The Best-Kept Secret of Antidepressants
Просмотров 99Месяц назад
Do antidepressants work, or are they just fancy placebos? The answer may surprise you (unless you already read the thumbnail). But are antidepressants safe, and are they ever useful? And why are SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) prescribed so much?? Are there better alternatives out there? Are they hurting us, or are they the panacea to all of the woes of a post-truth society??? T...

Literally sums up the whole thing
People are pathetic keep her children out of this how sick do you have to be to want someone to lose their kids you guys have no idea how she is around her kids
Agreed.
She’s the craziest human I’ve ever seen while being so confident.
Cenk is a psycho. Not because of his beliefs which are foolish anyway, but because he helps to divide. He lies, he helps the ridiculous left narrative and the right doesn’t even affect his life!
love your channel <3
Thanks Agy! That means a lot ^_^
HOW THE FUCK does everyone look unconcerned during Jreg's breakdown? Then that mf on call proceeds to say "I love it dude that's awesome lmao" and people in the chat are like "LOUD = FUNNY" ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Genuinely, genuinely tell me if I'm overly sensitive or something because that is too real for me to even watch. Everyone in that clip feels like kids in grownup bodies who were brought up with 0 tools to deal with emotionality. It's like watching highly intellectualized toxic masculinity or something. Jesus I feel like I'm the crazy one. Subbed btw
This video is nothing but a fallacy after fallacy. You appear to some morality as if everyone had the same morals. Everyone has the same set of morals, and if you think that killing (in Minecraft of course) a social mass murderer is wrong, maybe it is not us who are being corrupted.
You're well within your right to disagree with the video; but I'm genuinely curious what fallacies I made in this video? Be specific if you're able/willing. I just shared my perspective. Or by "fallacy after fallacy" do you just mean "I disagree with this video?"
@Confluence358 well, firstly, the appeal to morality which i already mentioned and than, when you were talking sth like "when do we stop" which is very much phrased as slippery slope. First of all, as far as i know there was only one shooting, it could just as well end with it, it could be lonely killing. Second of all, yes, it's not a terrible thing to ask, but not in this case, where the reasoning for the kill is pretty clear. It is valid question when randomly shouting "kill all rich," but not here
@@damienspulak8218 Thanks for your response. An appeal to morality is not at all a logical fallacy; I'm not sure what you mean by that. The "when do we stop" question is a serious question. And you can see from other comments on this video that people DO want to take out other people of the ruling class. My question is.... what counts as the ruling class? That's a fair question IMO. The point of the video is to get people who are celebrating to consider what society would look like if we continued down this path. I haven't heard any criterion yet that determines if someone is bad enough to elicit an extrajudicial slaying. I know the reason is quite clear for Luigi, but throughout my video I bring up arguments for why someone else could justify taking out Ron Desantis, Bezos, etc, and use different reasoning. And online we're seeing reactions ranging from "take out all billionaires" to "go after more healthcare CEOs", so I'm struggling to see why it's a bad question!
No. It's not just health insurance yo.
There's a rich irony in saying it's unhinged while you yourself are going against the aggregate ergo being unhinged ( in perspective to the rest of society vs you, I'm not saying your insane). I fundamentally agree that hate and harboring ill intent is poisonous to yourself. That being said, how the hell are we supposed to change things when they fundamentally deny changing it? It's illegal to revise the Constitution of the United States of America wonder why. You know the corn farmers brought their grievances to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court sided with the corporations that are exploiting them gee I wonder why. What about 3M that has literally poisoned and given many people cancer yet they don't care. What about the oil executives and owners that did know oil is harmful to the environment yet have been silencing environmentalist for the past 50 years?? At what point is the destruction enough to warrant action I'm completely dead serious here and what action should be taken because in your video you offered no alternative solution and you were just saying whataboutisms. It's one thing to disagree, it's another to just complain and offer no solution and that's what I saw today. This isn't a defense of the Jreg video, it's a grievance with your video. This is me pointing out that fundamentally it is impossible (legally) to change things in the current status quo so what solution do you suggest because I didn't hear one in the video. We can see from the peaceful protest of Martin Luther King Jr that they will kill you even for that should you get enough followers. We can see from JFK that talking about peace and making that your campaign platform will result in your assassination. Sam Houston was drugged and murdered in his own home for feeding children holy crap. This whole thing is a really really silly look at this tree while you're ignoring the entire goddamn Forest. I'm also not advocating for violence, I am advocating for everyone getting together and socially discussing what should be done instead of letting this cancerous thing continue because if we let it continue it will consume our entire planet. And for the record, what I thought of the Jreg video, political satirist be political satirist. I have no idea how you took offense with this video but not the political assassination one I'm genuinely confused here. Also don't give the internet your vril like , just walk away from it and live your life knowing that some guy in Canada (might) disagrees with you and that's perfectly okay. Or, do what I do and repurpose the internet to serve constructive purposes in a healthy manner, more on that later though. If you made it down here just know I actually really don't care, I use Reddit as kind of like a live, interactive journal. My intention with this journal entry was to hopefully bring some perspective to you because you're what abouts talked about oil executives and I thought I'd bring up plastic companies that have also been poisoning people because plastics were born out of the oil industry. It's just really close personally to me because my father died of cancer. I have set aside those emotions and can conclusively say that we should not continue what we are doing because that will only result in more people getting more cancer and less environment for everyone to live in. The Earth is currently our only inhabitable planet and rather than trying to make a new one on Mars like Elon thinks, maybe we should work on preserving the one we already have and then after we have preserved our planet we could then look to inhabit another one. I do think this system is unequitable and I sincerely meant the advice that we shouldn't let the internet affect us as much as I saw presently curated in this video AND that we need to come together socially and decide on what to do rather than letting the world continue to burn under the status quo. I understand that you think society is in the wrong here, however, how you reacted to it is also morally corrupt because it came off as degrading and unconstructive. Nowhere did you offer a solution to this you just said status quo working fine. I hope in my first paragraph you can see how it's not working fine and how it actively poisons people and our Earth everyday. I wrote a book and some anti music about parasocial relationships and their free on my channel. This was a copypasta of what I left on Reddit as well. Courts are not in favor of reform my fellow netizen, that's the enchiridion of my long winded text
Yeah sorryyyy dislike got smashed.. something drastic needs to take place
well then Ima dislike this comment!
@@Confluence358 hahaha okay, thank you
God hearing hasan speak angers me greatly
Same, brother, same.
Typical reformist
I mean, yeah, guilty as charged. The only revolution I like is the Dance Dance one.
If you are right wing this country has gone to shit over the last few decades gay rights civil rights women’s rights are blights upon the land what makes you think those things are permanent? Who gets to decide those things are good. Sometimes you just have to say this thing is good and that thing is bad without the fence sitting argument that oh but the bad side thinks the same way yeah they are wrong and we should do anything in our power to stop them. God knows right wingers aren’t sitting around worrying about the morality of killing abortion doctors.
That’s why no one really likes the Democratic Party all of their positions are couched in this well what about the feelings of the other side if we do something to further our agenda then gasp they might. Meanwhile Trump got three Supreme Court nominees because Mitch McConnell steamrolled the Democratic process do you think he even for one second thought about his actions the way you do? There is no higher morality judge that will smite him down for being naughty and now they control the court for probably the rest of my lifetime. So when a ceo gets shot yes that’s bad and no it’s shouldn’t happen again but sometimes you just has to say no he was bad I don’t care that he’s dead. Ask yourself this would you say the same about John brown?
Well, I actually do describe myself as center-right. And I DO worry about the morality of those things! I think both sides should be very worried about the increase in rhetorical unhingedness.
@@art3miss555 I mean, I take your point, but I think we actually might agree. We both think it's bad, and it shouldn't happen again, and we both think he was likely a bad dude. Maybe the only difference is that I don't think we, as a society, should celebrate it (I'm not sure your POV on that one).
There was a case in Louisiana about a guy who molested a boy of 13. The father of the boy when learning of this heinous thing went out with a gun and shot him in the head as the guy was being escorted by police. It’s on RUclips captured on video. He was given about 300 hours of community service by a judge after being pleading guilty to manslaughter. Not one batted an eye
Absolutely bezos is next. Are you really asking us the difference between killing working class people ( which Brian was guilty of) and killing the abusive ruling class). "We have the democratic process" no we dont we have the murdoch press and corporate sponsors. This is centritst drivel
Can we acknowledge the social cost of brian continuing to live??
we'll have to see how the social shareholders feel about eating that cost :P
But in all seriousness, the problem is that he's just replaced with a new CEO. And I can't imagine that new CEO will be substantially better. Without changing the system, we aren't changing anything. And this, IMO, is not an effective or ethical way to change that system.
Jreg is not that hard to interpret. At least I don’t think so. It just requires a modicum of emotional intelligence. These two guys have let skepticism turn them into sociopathic assholes.
I agree; 99% of the time I understand what JREG is saying, when he's being ironic, and when he's being sincere. There ARE some times where I'm unsure though, especially recently.
Its too late I've already depicted you as the centrist chud and Luigi as the chad accelerationist
😆
OK .. chillax bro .. i too am welcoming of any and everybody whos willing to change his mind .. BUT .. i wouldnt call cenk "based" just yet! yes he may be on his way .. just give him some time to show us that its not a just grifft and hes honest and willing to "come to terms" with the reality and truth .. but its to early to call him based! ;)
haha okay fair. But can we call Ana Kasparian based yet at least??
Bro finally met his match.
I cant believe she's still showing her face, one of the most disgusting things that has even speak
Watched this, incredibly painful watch. Destiny, and to a much greater degree, Dan, were insufferable.
As a communist I can appreciate an honest conservative. You are right, the Dems do this to themselves. They would rather have a full blown fascist (which Trump and his movement are not, they do not have the material conditions to become true fascists) to take over than a wishy washy, luke warm social democrat, that Bernie is. The US has truly abandoned the class war, and embraced culture war, which only serves to divide the working class, for the benefit of the owners. Neither party is for the workers. And the Dems are not on the left. The system that works as intended, can't be fixed. It needs a revolution of the workers. All workers. Conservative, progressive, religious, trans... we have more in common with each other than we have with the owners. We only need solidarity with each other.
I was with you up until you seemed to think Tulsi Gabbard was a good candidate
I got this comment from someone else, too. I'm evaluating Tulsi from what I saw during the democratic primaries. I liked what she had to say then. But this is similar to Yang -- I like him at the time, but haven't been keeping up with him. Someone said she's just a mouthpiece for RT, so I'd have to perhaps reevaluate more recent clips.
The democrat party isn’t “the left”. Most of us on the left LEFT that party to its own devices and watched it crumble like we said it would. A true left party would have been Bernie.
I agree with you fully; just was chosen in the title for brevity. I first had it as "democratic establishment" but that felt too cumbersome.
It’s pronounced You-ger
Just shut up cenk
Cenk ran in CA. Received 0% vote
gee cenk finally gets it after 20 years after tyt took 20 million to tank progessives after loss after loss after loss it's amazing .
Chit Yogurt is Hilarious 😂 I watched the whole thing. It was so Good 😂
Again?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. I thought Chunk was already at war with the Democrats. 😂😂😂😂😂
Look, it's a long and complicated multi-phase period of hostility. Cenk and the Dems are like Israel-Palestine :P I'll let you decide who is who in that analogy based on your own middle east politics hot takes.
Maya had that voice down better than anyone
Two consecutive terms, people; Donald drumpf can run -fore our-' position, PotUS, next term too. Wè agree -on words; remember, -mean what- you- say-, -say what- you- mean.
Trump isn't even back in the White House and he's driving all these people crazy. This guy, Scarborough, Moskowitz. It's really unreal.
Fear of political imprisonment has a way of driving political commentators crazy. Unreal, ain’t it?
Number 1: Trump didn't win by more votes. He had LESS votes than he did last time around. Popular vote was correct though. Number 2: Harris wanted to go on JRE but she didn't want to talk about drugs. Number 3: Tulsi Gabard instead of Harris? You lost me with the woman who was literally a mouthpiece for RT.
1. I'm not sure what you mean? He won more electoral seats than in 2016 or 2020, and he won more popular votes than in 2016 or 2020 too! 2. Perhaps -- we'll never know (though Rogan at least said that in their communications he made it clear he'd talk about whatever she wanted to talk about.) 3. Well, this might be a fair point,;my love of Tulsi is a bit outdated (I mainly like her from how she performed in the primaries last time) and in the immediate aftermath, so maybe there's things I disagree with her now on.
And quit calling it a landslide victory. It was decisive, not a landslide. I know your'e too young to remember such things, but 1964, 1972, 1980, and 1984 were landslides. the thinkg Cenk never mentions is that Bill Clinton and Obama both took all that donor money, and WON. TWICE. You know why? They were more centrist, and they had penises. America will never elect a woman as president. Full stop.
Okay, I was with you til that last part! I perhaps overstated it as a "landslide victory," but it certainly is a landslide for how the GOP usually performs. But idk, do you really think her gender had anything to do with it? I'm pretty conservative, and I'd have voted for Nikki Haley in a heart beat!
He's not going to be anywhere "A lot longer than that" He's older than dirt, and nobody lives forever
Cenk is in fact not right. He vastly overestimates his ability to persuade people, which is why he thinks "populism" is his ticket to fame. He literally ran for President because he thought he'd get a massive surge in popularity. The guy is a joke.
I agree with that, but don't you think he's right about the democratic party thinking donor money and mainstream media attention would be the path to victory? I agree with you that he, himself, isn't that popular, but that's not what I mean with this video; I mean that what he says about the failings of the DNC are spot on. Or do you disagree?
@@Confluence358 he's right about that, but that's obvious. They lost an election to Donald Trump, the party is obviously controlled by out of touch elites.
“A Cenk in my armor” brilliant haha
she is basically insane. self delusion in one pot of ideas with a salt of fantasy of dreams of roots. Try to find mino girl.
I think a lot of what you have interpreted as destiny and dan being light-hearted and/or not getting the bit is actually just probably disdain. That disdain i think has stemmed from some misunderstandings of irony but i think they kinda catch on a bit earlier than you think they did That being said, this is the first time i've been exposed to jregg so his rep as the uber-irony man isnt something im aware of other than what has been said about him and what i saw on the podcast so perhaps because i dont have that preconception its easier for me to see just how plainly uncomfortable and stressed the poor guy is
I think you're likely right; what sticks out to me though is that JREG was on Destiny's other podcast, Bridges, earlier that day, and that seemed to go normal and fine. But as another comment mentioned, JREG has over-the-top bandages and a sling on during Bridges due to him falling off a bike right before, and while it's obvious that they're a prop, at the end he says basically the entire accident was made up (and he apparently presented that part sincerely off camera). So I think at the very end, maybe that made Destiny mad, and then that led to disdain shown here? I knew about the Bridges podcast when I made this, but I didn't connect that maybe Destiny finding out about the accident being a bit at the very end of Bridges made him lose all good will he had toward JREG, which caused what we see here.
GOD jreg is so unfunny. this is how i’d expect a literal middle schooler to act in this situation.
It really feel like the hosts (and the audience, to a degree) psyched themselves out over Jreg, thinking he's some sort of unreadable post-meta squared irony mastermind who's always making fun of you, and people are making it more complicated than it is. That's why the "he deserved it for being IRONIC all the time" comments annoy me; he's an awkward person who is much bolder in his (scripted) videos. I do, however, think it was a weird choice for him to even go on the podcast in the first place.
I really do agree with you, but I wonder if it's just because I've seen JREGs stuff before? Because yeah, it honestly doesn't feel hard for me to tell when he's being sincere; he's not just a black box of inscrutible irony. For me, the only time that happened was in the Zog video that I mention. Otherwise, when he wants to be sincere, I think it's very plain to tell; but again, maybe I'm just biased because I've seen his content before and I think some of my social habits are similar to his.
What is it about being a leftist that makes these people so crass? Is it just antisocial daddy issues?
I’m pretty sure Destiny and Dan tried to get Jreg to give a genuine opinion, it’s just when Jreg did he was worried it would be negatively received so he hedged his statements with irony. I saw the genuine confusion from them multiple times before they were finally just like “okay, we’re all in on the bit now” and tried to roll with it.
Good breakdown. Video and jreg wise 😂😂😂
Thanks! missed opportunity to title this "breakdown of a breakdown" lol
29:57 Jreg has said in multiple videos and podcasts that he at some point became a unironic anti-centrist and hes not sure when, just in defending the concept so much it became one of his identity labels and he now seriously believes it. Homogony in political thought within society is unhealthy, he's been consistent in this thought for a while. you're presupposition that he is a centrist is what makes you think this whole thing is irony poisoning
I mean, it's not a presupposition, it's what I feel JREG himself has said; of course, if he's said the opposite more recently (sincerely), then yeah, I'll defer to you on that. But I guess I'm not sure what my analysis of this part would become: is JREG ACTUALLY panradical? Wants more 10/7s? Wants the world to burn? That would be very depressing to me.
The one actually true "bit" I believe JREG was doing that whole time is he told himself he wouldn't let Destiny drag him into an argument, because he finds that format genuinely bad for society. Destiny isn't used to that which is why I think he kept on becoming more combative, His hole thing that makes him money is the debating. he's not sure how to operate without the arguments. Destiny was unwilling to engage with Jreg honestly in good faith or put any value or effort into understanding into his words. Even if Jreg is lying there's almost always some narrative or thought process someone can analyze that should lead to some interesting point through deduction. Overall though the two hosts were just being sadistic bullys
How they talked to him wasn’t right even if he was just being comedic most of the time. You have people here claiming they champion the human rights of people literally dehumanizing someone while talking to them in person. If anything his explosion was mild, in a less civilized age he would have caved both of their skulls in.
It felt less like having a friend over and more like an interrogation. To this day I legitimately don't know if Steve and Dan actually like Jreg or if they think he's a fence-sitting asshole.
Based on his comments later, I think he's "friendly" with him, but I don't think he thinks conversations with him "work" because he says he can't trust what's real and what's not. Destiny did a cameo in JREG's recent video ("The Worst She Can Say is No"), so they must be at least on somewhat friendly terms.
@@Confluence358 Thanks for the intel™ but knowing Destiny that's still a toss-up between "friend" and "obnoxious co-worker I choose to put up with".
two terrible people and one severely corroded by words
