Extremist Book Reviews 

I'm surprised how serious this was. This is actually really good. Good job, Jregory.

I'm guessing having the camera focused is somehow centrist.

Pov: you are a librarian who asked the shy kid how his day was.

Mom, come pick me up, the guy at the library went out of focus again

1900s people: reads extremist literature, becomes a radical revolutionary 2000s people: reads ALL extremist literature, becomes a furry

Imagine how many government watchlists jreg is on

This isn’t just any political satire this is cosmic horror political satire. Also imagine being Jreg’s roommate who checks out all this extremist literature.

I don't have to read Ayn Rand, I played Bioshock

"Ayn Rand is a really good writer, and you can tell this because, um, all of the good characters agree with her philosophically, and all of the bad characters disagree with her philosophically, so that's good" You had me in the first half, not going to lie.

Bruh imagine referring to literally half of the ghosts possessing you in the third person

Fun fact: due to his prowess in the sparrow hunt, Mao is a hero amongst cats. For this reason they honour him by saying his name, which in English was transliterated as meow.

Jreg is a political ideology on his own. Let's start a cult and go full expansionnism.

JREG didn't actually read them because he's a Maoist and Mao said reading too many books is harmful.

Is Is he wearing a flower print shirt over a flower print shirt I'm feeling it

Only man on youtube that can say "*My Struggle in German*" and then "And now a word from our sponsor"

Jokes on you, zoomers don’t have the attention span to get to the end of the video

"Man being a transhumanist is sick because you get to do praxis by just reading sci-fi literature."

Congrats, this is unofficially the best piece of absurdist political media.

Jreg is so extreme he can't even be in the center of the camera focus

Jreg basically just did what every kid in school did with thier book reports

“Being trans humanist is sick because you get to do praxis by reading sci-fi stories” I love it. You’ve convinced me.

Satire is dead. this comment was made by Nietzsche gang

Honestly, you probably spent more time reading the article for the communist manifesto than it would have taken to read the pamphlet.

Lolita the manifesto of Libertarians I cried laughing

pictured: jreg gets radicalized in every way possible

This is unironically making great points about how most people have really shallow knowledge about politics and history.

I have a feeling he got a sponsorship offer from blinkist and when he researched what blinkist was he then got so offended that he made this entire video

I can't believe you forgot about Clifford the Big Red Dog.

The plot twist was he was just a high school student doing a book assignment

"I am not a fascist. I'm a super-fascist." -Julius Evola "That's right, Kakarot, you're not dealing with just any fascist. I HAVE REALIZED THE LEGEND!" -Julius Evola, probably

Phew, I almost made the mistake of actually reading the Ego and its Own before becoming an egoist. But according to memes I just need to be a selfish asshole and call everything a spook. And maybe drink some milk. Thanks Jreg!

imagine constantly pondering your position on the political compass, while everybody know that the truth lies in your zodiac sign

0:31 The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx & Freidrich Engels 1:24 The Ego and His Own by Max Stirner 2:01 Revolt Against the Modern World by Julius Evola 3:10 Siege by James N.

Hey, reading SF is transhumanist *theory*. Transhumanist praxis is reinstalling Arch Linux on a different scavanged PC every year until carpal tunnel syndrome and poor eyesight make computers no fun any more

Jreg - owns Mein Kampf and the Communist Mannifesto FBI - [CONFUSED SCREAMING]

"No, no, not Adolphism, Dolphism! Like the animal!" -Posadas

Jreg is now in the watchlist of several unspecified different government agencies.

Reading siege convinced him accelerationism was right so he accelerated through the entire review

"If Evola was alive today hed probably be wearing a skull mask". *Imagines wheelchair-bound Evola in a skull mask participating in street fights*

I literally don't fucking understand English and have been watching this guy for over two hours 🤝

Jesus, he really does not want his sponsorship

good job targeting your core audience, christian expectant mothers

One day he's gonna run out of ways of saying "Jreg".

POV: You finally decide to talk to that weird guy you always see at the back of the library.

He did it again. He tricked me into thinking “this isn’t gonna be ironic.” Then it was. He can’t keep getting away with it.

"This video is about extremist book reviews" So... you made the description exactly the same as the description? Horseshoe centrist must have corrupted you.

Why does it look like background is the real thing and he's greenscreened in?

ok this video is one of my all time favorites for one very specific reason my dad is an "libertarian" who's read atlas shrugged multiple times. he loves it. he came into the room while me and my brother were watching this, right around 5:40, and was like "oh yeah, that's a really great book. this guy knows what hes talking about :)" then /the next/ book comes up. " :( "

The foundational text of libertarianism: lolita

Gregory, you can adjust the focus of the camera with the little spinny bit in the front of the lens.

Wow, a new video by the french satirist "j'ai regardé"

Convinced that Jreg sits down and thinks "How can I make something satirical" and then 5 minutes later says "Now how can I make it sincere" and 5 minutes later "But more satire though" and then 5 minutes later "Gotta keep em on their toes" and this cycle continues endlessly so that we are left helplessly to try and learn what the overall message is if there even is one.

Yeah I'm sure this sponsor is going to stick around Greg, good job.

Personally, I think Mao was right about killing all the sparrows because, as we all know, the birds work for the bourgeoisie.

Introducing: anarcho-illiteracy! Why read a book or two to familiarise yourself with a certain ideology, when the only thing that will achieve is dragging you down so deep into the valley of the dunning-kruger effect that you no longer feel confident to say anything?! I mean everybody knows you're not going to read the dozens of books it would require to become an expert on socialism, so why bother reading at all? Just browse /pol/ or /leftypol/ and laugh at a few memes, it's not worth it to educate yourself to the point that you'll realize you don't know shit.

I'm glad Yandere-dev found his passion in books & satire

Start of video: Wait, is he actually serious this time? End of video: Ah... Well played.

Damn, his roommate is probably on several watchlists for his library history. Great vid, although I didn't watch it, just saw a few memes about it and now I'm pretending I watched it.

Everyone is focused on Jayreg's advocacy of extremism as a way out of this hellscape but his true genius is attacking parasocial relationship that youtube fosters. Damn good work Jpeg

Homeless guy in the library be like

What this comment originally said did not warrant the number of likes it got, so I wish to change it to something that does: trans rights

It’s hilarious that jreg will be studied like Nast in 100 years

Pro-Tip: If you want to become even better at pretending to have read the books, use Blinkist to get superior summaries. Remember to use the link in the description to buy a full membership before researching if they have the books you want to read!

I like how you called ted by his name instead of the unibomber

6:50 as a girl i feel like all the book recommendations were targeted to the male audience and as a male supremacist I'm thankful for that

Conspiracy theory: Jreg said he didn’t read the books for auth left and right and lib right which leaves one possibility.

Recognizing fascism as economically far-left: 10,000 IQ move.

Not reading Atlas Shrugged makes you MORE politically informed than if you had, actually.

"I would never read these books they're too long" "you can read the entire communist manifesto in like an hour" exelent video jreg truly a modern masterpiece 0/10 no kropotkin

My favorite Mao quote was “you can never slaughter enough people.”

That was the worst summary of Rosa Luxemburg's ideas and demise I've ever heard. *10/10*

I genuinely feel sad because of what he said past 13:10 because I really thought that I can get a feel for all these books just by watching a random guy on youtube. Also, what he said about picking a lense in desperation to make sense of this absurd world hits real close to home for me. Now I don't know what to think anymore, but one thing is certain, I'm sad.

he accidentally revealed that he read plato, he actually read a book

Jreg now finally displays for all to see that the notion that his satire was "political" was all a ruse, indeed the satire that Mr. Reg produces is about information itself in the modern age. It's a generations unwillingness to engage in true ideology and source material amidst an unstoppable flood of meaningless pseudo-education in the form of memes and niche internet communities. It does kind of seem like he wants to have his cake and eat it too though, still trying to produce genuine political satire at points, even when, as he has explained on multiple occasions, he has no idea what he's fucking talking about. Instead, politics becomes entertainment, ideology becomes superficial character traits used to dance around the screen like a puppet show. If Jreg actually leaned into this and stopped trying to produce legitimate political satire entirely, and instead focused purely on this "education is now entertainment" notion, this generational apathy to any actual belief system or moral framework, this failure to engage with literature and academics, well, maybe Jreg will have carved out an interesting place for himself among the satirists. Or something like that something something this is a pretentious writing exercise funny vid, boss

So uh... I typed a comment before watching the video that said “we don’t read Jreg” ... I’m either a genius or I’m so deep into this parasocial relationship that I can read minds. Or Jreg’s satire is predictable and stale! I’m gonna leave a like anyway because I just want to consume more mindless content!

6:10 , you know what makes it funnier? the rest of the ad he starts to consistently blinks twice. Its not just a one off joke, he's legit trapped

Reading political literature is for chumps. All my world views comes from memes. That is why I am a proto-meta-anarcho-posadist-monarchist as any sane man would be.

"Being a transhumanist is sick because you get to do praxis just by reading sci-fi stories." _Laughs in Greg Egan_

I get my politics off of Joe Rogan guests not memes.

Rosa Luxembourg actually was well respected by other communists she criticised such as Lenin, and was murdered by the right wing paramillitary known as the Friekorps

Dude how are you blurrier than the books you're reviewing? Actually never mind that makes perfect sense

I don't need books, I just need our parasocial relationship J'reg.

I read that whole ayn Rand book and decided never to read again.

Getting a sponsor on this video is a fucking miracle lmfao.

Getting dangerously anarcho-nihilist, Jreg.

Another deeply disturbing video that gave me actual chills.

Watching the ending of this was like getting punched in the stomach 10 times in a row

This channel is the true essence of post-post-modernism. Also known as anarcho proto egofascist democratic communism.

Being in politics be like: "I know what's best and everyone else is wrong. But I'll align myself with these people that are wrong the least."

I knew you didn't read any of these books because no one who has read her actually likes Ayn Rand.

If you want to learn about Anarcho-primitivism, you should go ask tribe elder.

Goddamnit Jreg, I actually wanted a breakdown on Siege. :(

This is the first book review I actually watched and enjoyed

15:10 This bit is both the greatest satire on online political activism and the greatest statement about our current societal deterioration, I've ever seen.

My hypothesis is that you were a centrist making an essay/paper about extremist ideologies, and you went mad after reading all these books.

This is what happened when Plato finally got out of the cave

Id love to see Anarkiddy reading Commie a bedtime story with Communist Manifesto. We need more wholesome content in here

bro literally said fascism is left wing 💀💀
