Dusty calling Jreg a “fascist” is absolutely ludicrous. He’s basically the Zoomer Weird Al Yankovic of internet meme ideologies. He’s barely a political figure at all. I personally interpret his real purpose as advocating for Christian communitarian localism, and for disengagement from social media. He doesn’t have any grand political ambitions. I mean, if that’s “fascism,” then that word has lost all meaning.
Right. Im not too familiar with his work but how you describe him seems how most have. I’m waiting to get the video clip of his performance. I think the poster saw some right wing names and after just made a blanket statement toward everyone. It’s a sadly common practice as I assume you know.
"Imagine a space where .... perspectives ricochet, fuse, and mutate"
A great epistemological image! A quantumized, deregulated version of the "free marketplace of ideas" so popular with ideologues of the bourgeois university, but accidental collisions and fusions do not a Hegelian dialectic make (not that there’s anything wrong with that). In Hegel it is Reason that impels consciousness through its moments, negating those forms in which it is in contradiction with itself and negating the negation (rather than ket and clout-seeking).
