I don't care whether it's a bit or not. Jreg is indirectly responsible for allowing fascist ideas to flourish by giving them a platform in his comments sections and by representing them as one of the "quadrants". Most people are too media-illiterate to understand simple satire (just look at all the misplaced hatred for Chapo Trap House, which employs first-order irony on a regular basis), let alone more abstract concepts like meta-irony.
Cryptofascists not only hide behind liberal formulations of free speech :freeze-peach:, they also have learned to infiltrate chan culture (and by extension meme culture in general) by hiding behind irony, post-irony, and meta-irony to spread their ideas because they recognize liberals and socialists would dogpile them, if not outright deplatform them, for earnestly or straightforwardly expressing their true beliefs and political goals.
I don't see much of a discontinuity in the Posadism search trend when there's a major uptick in the Jreg search trend. You could have the causality backwards: he could have done a video on Posadism in response to it having emerged as a meme tendency.

Yes but look what he's done for Posadism
