And these inflammatory decisions are made, on purpose, by Jason Lee because they make People click, they make People angry, and angry People fight in comment sections.

And what all of this adds up to is, not creating Human connection as Jubilee's website states its mission is. No, no. What it adds up to is, a lot of money for Jason Lee.

As a content creator, I feel passionately about making content that is productive, that does foster understanding, that maybe even provokes thoughtful debate. And there's a ton of People making that content, who I agree and disagree with on various topics.

Jubilee is not one of those People. They suck oxygen out of all of our timelines by creating slop — engineered to go viral through outrage — all while widening the divides they claim to be bridging. And you, as a Viewer, deserve better.

Gil Duran of The Nerd Reich - Aug 13, 2026. Here’s the YouTube link: Will YouTube Ban The Nerd Reich Podcast? - The Nerd Reich with Gil Duran - Aug 13, 2026 (YouTube)

From Gil's description:

YouTube is threatening to ban the Nerd Reich podcast and we'll probably be gone by the end of the week. ~:~ Why? We're being flooded with a campaign of false complaints—one week before my book is published. We've been on YouTube for 1.5 years with no problems. Suddenly, we're getting multiple fake "copyright strike" complaints every day. This is clearly a coordinated effort—and it's working. ~:~ YouTube's policy is "guilty until proven innocent." So the company is deleting our videos about Jeffrey Epstein's connection to Bitcoin and JD Vance's connection to Curtis Yarvin—and threatening to deplatform our entire podcast. YouTube's ridiculous bureaucracy refuses to listen to reason.

Here's how you can help:

1. Subscribe to The Nerd Reich Newsletter to keep in touch as we navigate this situation. We'll probably need to find a video platform that won't censor us for speaking out against tech fascism: thenerdreich.com

2. Send an email to YouTube. The company only responds to public and media pressure, so send an email to: press @ google . com

3. Pre-order "The Nerd Reich" book, which will be released next week. This effort to erase our channel is clearly timed for the publication of my book, which exposes the roots of Silicon Valley extremism: https://bookshop.org/a/109206/9781668...

THANK YOU to our 26,000 YouTube subscribers for your support over the past 1.5 years. I didn't want to start a video podcast because I didn't think we'd have much of an audience. But some of our episodes got over 150,000 views, and our audience grew with every episode. ~:~ Hopefully, YouTube will back down. But remember: We'll still be available on all audio platforms, and you can always subscribe there. When we find a new place to host our video pod, I'll give an update on the Nerd Reich newsletter.

Daniel Hartman speaks at a Fridley, MN City Council Meeting on July 27, 2026. Video clip is by More Perfect Union. Here it is on YouTube: One of the best arguments against Flock you'll watch - More Perfect Union (YouTube)

From the description: Residents of Fridley, MN packed a city council meeting last week where police detailed which law enforcement agencies have access to Flock Safety camera footage. ~:~ Many residents were particularly concerned about news that some of the footage was used for immigration-related searches.

~~~~~~~~~~

I've not been a resident of Fridley for as long as many of you. But like many of you, I came here to build a life, a future with my Family.

It's caused me to think a lot about the future, about the world we will be building for our Children. I want that world to be one where we trust one another. A world where Newcomers to the Community are greeted with open arms and kindness.

Flock is not that. Where we could be spending our money uniting our Community and building it into something for everyone to trust in, we instead send it to unproven Tech Oligarchs to invade and spy on our Communities.

That spying is not without consequence. When the federal Invaders arrived to terrorize our state — in the name of scams, lawlessness, and racism — that very network was used to track and kidnap our Neighbors, as we know.

Our Children will look back on this moment with revulsion. Nauseated by the cowardice that led us to turn our guns inward. Nauseated by the squandering of our natural resources to build the data center and surveillance infrastructure — a monument to fear, voyeurism, and delusion.

We must not forget: This is much bigger than a few cameras spying creepily on Civilians. The surveillance state cannot exist without data centers. Every second these cameras are running, is another second spent sucking the Life out of our Planet.

You keep this up, and we're staring down more than a future without privacy. We are staring down the destruction of our future in entirety.

Does it comfort you to know that when the last drop of water is drained, when the weather gets so hot that your sweat can no longer keep you alive, and when electricity is so expensive that we can no longer afford to cool our homes — there will still be cameras pointing at the People that frighten you?

If my words offend you, remember that I warned you months ago, in this very room. You have had adequate time to change course and be the responsible Adults you were elected to be.

If you cannot see this situation for what it is, then you should not be anywhere near a position of power. We are better than this.

Spend our money on something the Community would actually benefit from. We should be enjoying our parks together and making Friends, not living in fear of one another.

I ask that you disarm these cameras.

Here's the accompanying article 👉 thenerdreich.com/why-trump-keeps-talking-about-communism-the-unhumans-playbook

From the video description: Donald Trump and his MAGA party have a desperate new strategy for the 2026 midterm elections: a fake hysteria over "communists" designed to dehumanize Democrats. This strategy comes straight from a 2024 book called "Unhumans." ~:~ What is the "Unhumans" Strategy?The MAGA playbook relies heavily on "Unhumans, a radical text featuring a foreword by Steve Bannon and heavy promotion by JD Vance. The strategy is simple: frame ordinary Democrats as demonic "unhumans" so they no longer deserve basic human rights. Tech-billionaire gurus like Curtis Yarvin have openly admitted that using the word "communist" is just a weaponized slur meant to act as a political "punch." ~:~ Durán exposes the radical text Unhumans, JD Vance's endorsements, and the propaganda technique known as "Accusation in a Mirror." ~:~:~ The Nerd Reich covers Silicon Valley tech's extremist politics, the Dark Enlightenment, The Network State, Elon Musk, et al. Hosted by Gil Durán. Produced by R.R. Robbins
