Greg Guevara (Grig Givɑːra:), known online as Jreg, is a Canadian Satirist YouTuber and self-proclaimed artist. He is best known for his viral Political Compass Rap video and the Centricide series, with 335 thousand subscribers on YouTube.[1][2][3] He created a fictional ideology, anti-centrism, to criticise and ridicule political extremism.[4]
Channel History
Jreg's YouTube channel was made on April 24th, 2009 and originally called "lavacrava" and his first video was a joke advertisement for a fictional food product of the same name, as a school project, and after that he just posted general meme-related content on the YouTube channel. But on February 27th, 2019, he uploaded a video called Anti-Centrism: Where I Stand Politically which was his first political satire video where he invented the nonsensical ideology of anti-centrism, which believes every extremist ideology must unite. Then, on August 5th, 2019, he uploaded the video The League of Anti-Anti-Centrists, which was the first installment in the series Centricide, which is about a "battle" between anti-centrists (an attempt to unify all extremist ideologies) and anti-anti-centrists (an attempt to unify all moderate ideologies).[2][4]

unified into one, in order to stop centrism and the status quo (neoliberalism and pink capitalism). Anti-centrism is a combination of Anarcho-Capitalism (anarchist right), AntiFa (anarchist left), and National Bolshevism (totalitarian right and totalitarian left) and it also believes in theocracy of Judaism (libertarian left), Islamism (authoritarian right), and Christianity (authoritarian left).[4]
"Send those decenters to the gulag and the gas chambers, but actually neither of those things because I don't believe in a state."
"I am both pro-choice and pro-life. I believe women should have abortions, always."
"As a leftist, I believe gay marriage is all marriage, but as a rightist this disgusts me so all marriage is forbidden."
Real Political Views
In his video I am a centrist (Surprise!), he said that he made the video as a public statement, as he felt many people were misinterpreting the satire of his work and he stated he's a centrist and supports the neoliberal status quo and is afraid of drastic changes to the status quo. He also says he votes for the Liberal party.[5]
Centricide
Centricide is a political comedy series where two groups (Centrists and Extremists) try to make personified ideologies more moderate or extreme to fight centrism/extremism. It also can be noted Greg Guevara, the 7th episode of Season 2, has flowcharts and can lead you to multiple outcomes based on what choice you choose (there are links you can click on when these decisions arise, and these links take you to a video showing the outcome).[6]
