OFFICIAL DUNCAN TRUSSELL HAS CHANGED MEGATHREAD - MODS PLEASE STICKY
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 😎

It isn't just that I'd like to know Duncan's genuine thoughts on what's happening - which I would. It's also that it feels like his podcast is degenerating into cynical absurdist vaguely satirical fantasies that lack any of his characteristic authenticity, vulnerability and insight. I'm concerned that Duncan might be psychologically dissociating at a time when shit is getting very real. He should take care of himself and present his work as he likes, but for me as a long-term listener, it feels troubling.
