OFFICIAL DUNCAN TRUSSELL HAS CHANGED MEGATHREAD - MODS PLEASE STICKY

109 Upvotes

Edit: Duncan’s back on the rise! I CLAIM HIM REDEEMED.

Edit 2: Nah seriously think what you’d do. Especially at a time when financial insecurity is probably at an all time high. Not saying he’s doing anything. If anything the video content is a nice change, although I mostly annoyed when he started moving to YouTube. Also think… did he change, or did you? Or did we both? Is there a you? Who is I? Who is we? No one. We are ever changing processes with a sense of consciousness, call it soul or whatever else, that you can tap into whenever and wherever. Thinking and reading won’t get you there from here, though. 04/29/25

Edit 3: 😒🫩it’s not getting better. 06/23/25

~~Back in early November I complained about the quality of Duncan’s podcast. I honestly thought it would be ignored, but it launched a whole lot of replies and new posts to this sub. Some people complaining about quality of episodes/guests, others noticing the political shift that appears more like a political grift. New fans or people who just haven’t really followed Duncan Trussell’s content in the past few years conveniently chalk it up to being people mad about political disagreement.

Anyway, that’s the super briefly reductionist summarized reason of why there are so many “what happened to Duncan” threads.

I’ve seen some complaining now that the quality of the sub is becoming worse. Should we just megathread and have a discussion here?

It’s better this way. Continuity and all. There’re a whole lot of details that get lost inbetween each new post about Duncan.

Or maybe not. Maybe we should keep flooding with threads like this. But really I think that’d achieve a goal us vets don’t want. Engagement via entropy.~~

I’ve been bought 😎

Duncan Trussell and Kurt Metzger are GATE Puppets!?

0 Upvotes

I mean no disrespect to Duncan Trussell and Kurt Metzger.
I love them both and think they are funny as heck.
But what if?
Both Duncan Trussell and Kurt Metzger were in GATE as kids.
And they are both somewhat famous. So what if they were brainwashed as kids,
to say the stuff they say now? Like they implanted concepts and ideas into their minds,
maybe even do so now, which they will spread on their platforms?
However Duncan and Kurt have no idea this is happening,
they are tragic puppets in a larger game.
It might explain why everyone thinks Duncan is a CIA agent.
And why they keep saying controversial stuff.
Maybe this is what happens with most celebrities big and small?
Just a funny idea I had, hope ya like it.
HEIL BINGO THE DWARF!

Can we settle this Duncan Trussell matter once and for all?

0 Upvotes

​

I think part of the recent tear in the community comes from the fact that a lot of people had a very specific image of Duncan in their heads: the gentle, soft-spoken, crystal-loving hippie who wants everyone to hug it out and contemplate the interconnectedness of all things.

But… have you guys actually been listening to Duncan? 😂

Duncan is a rough boy.

He’s a man’s man who happens to have a spiritual vocabulary.

I think we made the mistake of confusing compassionate with soft. Those are not the same thing. A person can be deeply spiritual, emotionally intelligent, loving, and still have a fundamentally “let’s fucking go” constitution.

It reminds me of the kids who didn't give a shit about Disneyland growing up. Everyone else is excited about the castle, the parade, the wholesome magic… and that one kid is like:

“Nah. Take me to Six Flags. I want to get thrown upside down at 80 miles an hour.”

That’s Duncan.

He just happens to be talking about God while riding the roller coaster.

And honestly, I think some people are experiencing a kind of cognitive dissonance because they weren't really responding to Duncan himself — they were responding to the Duncan they had constructed in their heads.

The guy has always had a little “feral medieval peasant who somehow discovered Buddhism” energy.

The spirituality is real. The compassion is real. The vulnerability is real.

But so is the rough boy.

Maybe we need to stop trying to make Duncan fit the image of what we think a spiritually evolved person is supposed to look like.

Duncan Trussell isn't a soft hippie.

He's a rough boy who found enlightenment.

Let's settle this.

HAD TO FINALLY STOP LISTENING

Honestly this is quite overdue - but I've been a fan of Duncan and his pod since early high school. Last few years have been weird - but at least his personal musings still sounded sane and moral. He's totally gone now. As bad as Alex Jones, Joe Rogan now. Really depressing. So anyway, its over. I held on as long as I can but it's OVER.

Honest Question

0 Upvotes

I have a question that might sound offensive or like I’m setting up a joke, but I’m actually curious: how many of you are autistic/on the spectrum?

I ask because I have this theory that autistic people might lean more toward certain kinds of humor.

Like more:
-absurd/nonsense shit
-deadpan
-random non sequiturs
-anti-jokes
-running bits
-taking one stupid idea way too far
-really specific references
-weird logic that somehow makes sense

vs more:
-observational comedy
-relationship/dating jokes
-social satire
-cringe/embarrassment humor
-subtle sarcasm
-normal story/setup/punchline type comedy
-jokes that rely a lot on reading people/social cues

Obviously I’m not saying everybody is the same or only likes one kind. I’m just curious if there’s actually a preference there, and whether maybe that’s part of the disconnect with all the Duncan hate and the obsession with the media that generates it.

What do you think Bill Hicks would make of Duncan and Joe?

"I do not believe making money in order to consume goods is mankind's sole purpose on this planet. If you're wondering what I believe our purpose on this planet is, I'll give you a hint... it has to do with creating and sharing."

"People often ask me where I stand politically. It's not that I disagree with Bush's economic policy or his foreign policy, it's that I believe he was a child of Satan sent here to destroy the planet Earth. Little to the left."

Hey Guys,

Big Hicks fan here and obviously I can see the influence on Joe (which he specifically talked about alot back in the day) and Duncan (maybe not so much overtly but the spiritual undertones of both their work).

Anyway considering Duncan and Joe are now the mouth pieces for the ever growing Techno Fascism and are directly responsible for Trump getting into power with Dana thanking "the mighty and powerful Joe Rogan." for winning Trump his second election.

"Ding dong, the witch is dead! Twelve years of fundamentalist Christian rule is over! The Republicans are out!"

And Duncan and Joe having meals round Peter Theils house, hanging out and generally being very closely pal pals with the elites that literally cannot decide if they want humanity to succeed and literally spend their time and energy developing weapons with artificial intelligence to murder people.....

Do you think Bill Hicks would be proud of them?

"It’s all about money, not freedom, y’all, okay? Nothing to do with fuckin' freedom. If you think you’re free, try going somewhere without fucking money, okay?"
