The constant spergout just makes him look less credible as a 'journalist' and shows people they can get him to go into a tailspin over the slightest bit of pushback.
To clarify the timeline, my last post was rehashing some of Flesh Simulator's original spergout posts from March 8th and 9th. I don't think he's tweeted about it since, including in response to being RTed by Blonde a week later who was the host he was shitting on.
Timeline
- March 3rd - Flesh Simulator goes on Blonde's The Backlash as one of their first live guests. Her fans are surprised by the crossover but it's cordial and he's well received. Blonde & co. think they've made a new friend.
- March 8th & 9th - bothered by some very mild antisemitic dogwhistles during his guest appearance, FS researches his hosts and is horrified that they are all the -isms. He runs to Twitter for the next two days to disavow with his hugbox followers and clear his good name. He doesn't mention it again on X or YT again AFAICT
- March 17th - Blonde gets wind of the denouncement and disappointedly calls out his behaviour as fake & ghey and Jewish. FS doesn't seem to respond, It doesn't appear that he has her blocked but Blonde's followers claims he's locked replies somehow.
I knew about VDARE and Peter (Blonde actually interviewed him solo on her YT channel right before she started her new podcast). And I knew Hannah Claire, Jeremy's newish second-in-command was his daughter.
Didn't know his wife and her mother was a Newfie (deceased since 2004).
Also didn’t know her mother Margaret was working for the Manhattan Institute in the 80s when she met Peter.
The Manhattan Institute is Chris Rufo's employer and has investment from Paul Singer, who Nick Fuentes often rants about. The Manhattan Institute is also Jewish and Zionist. There was a spat last summer where former economist Chris Brunet revealed he was on an internship there but was let go by Chris Rufo and co. because he wanted to run a story parallel to the Claudine Gay/Harvard plagiarism scandal that the wife of one of the Institute's backers similarly plagiarized her scholarly work. Rufo and the higher ups squashed it and wouldn't let him run it.

Also didn’t know about the Antelope Hill Publishing stuff.
They remain a sponsor, as they were featured on the latest episode.
On the last episode, Dave Reilly (swarthy, beard, furthest left) made a comment that he hopes AH wouldn't drop them. To which Rebecca replied that they've been perfectly fine to date with all the casual antisemitism so far.
I wonder if they know.
The 4 podcast hosts are likely pretty desperate for money.
- They started the pod in Nov 2024 with no sponsors
- They at one point in an early episode pitched without sponsorship one of Tucker Carlson's Zyn-like tobacco advertisers in hopes that they'd get noticed and receive an offer
- Blonde lost all her income in Oct 2024 when she very publicly split with her last podcast partner of 9 years, Matt Christiansen over splitting of income, effort on her part and years of friction over having to keep it secret that Christiansen had quietly married a Jew himself. They were splitting 50/50 at the time with Christiansen doing essentially 100% of the backend work. Matt felt Blonde had been coasting for years and tried to cut her down to 60/40. Rebecca quit overnight and reported that the whole show was only grossing about 70k combined.
- Blonde's husband is in his 40s and they have 2 very young kids. I believe he's retired military. Not sure if he's still working a 9-5 but Blonde speaks as if he's independently wealthy. He has no public online presence.
- Vincent James' pinned Twitter post is about being canceled and having his life ruined. I believe social media is his FT gig, but for whatever reason he streams very infrequently. He has his own solo Rumble show that's very sporadic and small. He's married with kids in Idaho.
- Dave Reilly is a father, married with 3 small kids. The "barn-dominium" studio in the background is his home. I believe he has a background in radio. He also interned for E. Michael Jones for years for "slave wages". He's involved with the Idaho State Republican party. There's the appearance of wealth but I'm not aware of any current gainful employment.
- Cameron MacGregor (not seen in the Flesh Simulator episode) is their 4th remote host. He seems like a former ex-pat/passport bro type that has recently returned permanently to the US East Coast. He dresses well and seems to also at least portray some wealth, but I also don't know of any gainful employment. His solo content is very manosphere adjacent.
I don't understand the extreme overcorrection since going on the podcast. It should have just been one tweet saying he didn't know who they were, didn't do enough research, and disagree with them. The constant spergout just makes him look less credible as a 'journalist' and shows people they can get him to go into a tailspin over the slightest bit of pushback.
Yeah, this seems like a bad strategy. You can't apologize or backpedal enough to make "fans" or "your side" happy; the only way to win these things (and this seems really small, to an outsider) is to just acknowledge and move on. If he'd made the Farrakhan joke and then stopped, or started replying to a thread about synthesizers instead, it wouldn't be so obvious that he is bothered.
He might not be a troon or identitarian, but he's been around them enough to get their fleas.
Anyone in his discord able to snoop? I almost guarantee there’s a “Anyone who talks about the super scary podcast event will be banned. I’m tired of talking about it, I’m normally free speech friendly (he’s not) but I am exhausted about this.” post.

Same here, that’s when I started noticing it. It’s usually some “””alt”””” or overly girly (childlike) name. I knew this guy who was named Saul (sick ass name to be gifted) that decided to become Ophelia (almost guaranteed he picked it up from a song).
This is something I have thought for a while. I mean idk about that specific air force base. But I definitely believe that Reddit, and 4chan is a very easy place to push out whatever propaganda someone would want to push.
Agencies would barely need to put any resources into it. Compared to other methods, and I would imagine it's pretty effective at tricking people into going with what they are trying to push. We are a social species. Even if people like to think they are different, and free thinkers. At a certain point with social pressure. You will conform, or start to take on ideas of the people you socialize with. Even if it's an online platform.
Reddit put a thousand other message boards out of business like Wal-Mart killed Mom & Pop stores.
Everyone knows now that if you want to know if an appliance is good or what order to watch Stargate in, you have to add site:reddit to find human voices.
Easy enough to stick around afterward and absorb opinions, too. And since they minimize the visual impact of userIDs, it's a gestalt "people are saying" feeling.

How long has the stuff about Eglin been out there, bc it sounds very familiar, but I can't place where/when I heard or read it.
p.s. a commenter has a clue:
1 month ago
Back in 2012 I still remember the oopsy Reddit did where they released the top 10 Reddit addicted cities, but forgot to scrub the data so Eglin Air Force Base was the top most Reddit addicted city with hundreds of thousands of posts despite only being 20,000 people there. Eglin is also where the US keep its experimental cyber unit. I made a point never to use Reddit or Twitter after that point and became viciously aware of bots

I'm not sure on that specifically. I actually heard about that happening after I moved towards the idea that likely now days these platforms are the most likely place governments are going to really be pushing propaganda, and misinformation. Especially because tv, movies, and radio aren't what they used to be. It's like those, but I think probably more effective.
I only heard about that incident with the statistics a few months ago I think. But idk how long ago that happened.
I truly do think, it's more than reddit, and twitter though like that commenter mentions. Places like 4chan. Maybe Instagram. Anywhere, that people can easily hide in, and not be noticed. I think Facebook might be a little harder because people all put their real names, and add people they know irl there. But I'm sure there is probably the same thing happening there. I wouldn't know though because it's probably been over a decade now, since I've had a Facebook
Also the thing about the small forums. I went back to actual forums years ago. It is easy to do exactly what you said. Especially the niche topic subreddits for general hobbies, and things like that.
Thankfully there are still actual forums out there, and they still have active users. So if there is something I want to talk about enough. I use those.
I hope one of their big scandals, is finally enough to take them out. I know when googling tech stuff, now, just from all the things that pissed off people in the last 2 or so years you see so many posts that were deleted by the poster to spite reddit. But the answers are still there.
