DS 55: Jreg
Summary
Joshua Citarella and artist Dreg analyze the 2026 political landscape, identifying a "balkanized" left and a fragmented right driven by attention economy incentives. They discuss the rise of "stochastic terrorism" and incoherent manifestos, arguing that the internet acts as a mass psychosis machine that accelerates existing trends. The conversation also covers the concept of "hyperpolitics," the failure of the political center, and Dreg’s recent pivot toward anti-AI sentiment and techno-primitivist aesthetics.
