** His other channel averts this, and it's clear he had a conservative background years ago, but it's never revealed if that past is indicative of him today.

* MultipleChoicePast: One of the examples of Jreg being a TrollingCreator was him uploading a series of videos outlining his unironic political beliefs and how they influenced his satire-the issue being each video differs on what his views are (centrist, progressive, libertarian, identitarian, Marxist-Leninist or unironic anti-centrist) as well as details of his personal background (for instance, the Marxist video has him claim to be a distant relative of Che Guevara, the identitarian one has him claim he is of a mixed European background and the progressive one has him claim to be of Jewish descent) and motivation for making his content (some of the videos have him DoingItForTheArt, but the libertarian one has him claim he's OnlyInItForTheMoney and each one has him claim that ideological standpoint informs his takes).

* AntiVillain: It goes without saying that the Extremists are of the WellIntentionedExtremist variety type because despite being genocidal or willing to resort to violence really quickly, they do want what's best for a select group of people and are genuine in their beliefs. Ancap skirts the line more into NobleDemon in Centricide 4 [[spoiler: due to acknowledging that his unrestrained capitalist beliefs can kill millions like the authoritarians, but refuses to engage in any further purges or aggressive behavior outside of his domain.]]

* RiddleForTheAges: What ''are'' Jreg's actual political views? He plays this as the biggest RunningGag in his channel especially when he released a 6 contradictory videos that while framed as sincere, were about him being a centrist, anti-centrist, Marxist, Identarian Nationalist, Progressive and Libertarian at the same time. His other channel, however, notes that he had a conservative background years ago with Christian groups that may or may not reflect what he believes today.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The early Anti-Centrist theory videos such as "Know Your Enemy" contain multiple pieces of foreshadowing for the Centricide series.
** When talking about centrists who believe in horseshoe theory, Jreg says, "keep them away from the Nazbols". [[spoiler: The Nazbol kills Horseshoe Centrist.]]
** After mockingly saying that Dead Centrists just so happen to believe that the answer to all political issues lies in the exact center every single time, Jreg says [[spoiler: they die first]]. This is exactly what happens in Centricide 1.

** [[CommieNazis Nazbol]] takes this UpToEleven. His social and economic views make Authleft and Authright dislike him, he's not a centrist since he embodies extremist viewpoints and he's technically a coherent ideology even if strange, so he rejects the Wacky Ideologies. Probably for the better though, as a future where he was chosen as world leader due to Jreg enabling anti-centrism too much has him create an omnipresent totalitarian state.

* WarIsGlorious: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si7dl6BU78E I Want To Die In A War]] offers a look as to why young men would want to enlist and die in combat despite the advent of WarIsHell tropes. Namely that many of these young men are so disconnected from society that war offers them a chance to die for a cause as part of a collective team of like-minded people. That, and it offers their DeathSeeker lives a chance to have an impactful death to escape the harsh realities of the modern world since many still aren't willing to kill themselves or fear dying for nothing.
