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.
