A self-described East Coast chainfucker

“”You can call me alt-right if you use a broad definition of alt-right, meaning generally on the right, neo-reactionary, against mainstream conservatism and not against identitarianism.

Jean-François Gariépy (1984–) (usually called JF or JFG), is a French-Canadian alt right YouTube talker who promotes racialism, ethnostates, and other reactionary views. From 2012 to 2015, he was a postdoctoral researcher in neuroscience at Duke University, but was allegedly fired due to sexual misbehavior. He claims that he left on his own accord.

Gariépy rose to prominence as a paid co-host of Andy Warski's YouTube show. After getting into a spat with Andy over antisemitic comments made by a guest, Gariépy left the Warski show, and started running his own show called "The Public Space", where he frequently invites guests associated with white supremacy, such as David Duke and Richard Spencer.

Jeffrey Epstein

Gariépy's early YouTube presentations were neuroscience lectures, and in 2014 he received $25,000 funding from Jeffrey Epstein for them. He was at the time aware about Epstein's conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor (which was decided in 2008). However, Gariépy defended himself by stating he would "cash a check sent straight from the devil" if it allowed him "to advance science or science education". He also commented: "As a Jewish millionaire, I think he didn't expect my channel to turn the way it did." After Epstein's death was disclosed in mid-2019, Gariépy released a stream titled "He Was a Great Philanthropist Though": in which, he asked Epstein's lawyers to send him Bitcoin, stated he was "50-50" on whether to believe Epstein truly killed himself, and discussed the logistics of hiding a dead body. He added he found many of Epstein's actions "immoral".

Ethnostate support

“”I'm not against ethnostates[.] ethnostates is all we had before liberals took over the west

—Jean-François Gariépy, master of historical truth

Gariépy has explained several aspects of his ethnostate beliefs. For example, he sees ethnostates as realistic:

Q: You've said you support the idea of "an ethnostate" or "the ethnostate". Do you support it as a concept of it just as a libertarian, in the sense that "it should be something that people are allowed to set up", or as something you would like to see in the future? Do you see it as realistic, with a set of policies that could eventually be enacted, or as a sort of fantasy based alternative history?
Gariépy: Something I'd like to see in the future. Realistic, more or less. I agree it doesn't seem feasible in the short run but I also think things can change without warning in the political landscape.

He thinks that an ethnostate is most likely in the West:

Q: if you think of the ethnostate as something you would like to see and believe could realistically happen somewhere, where would you like to see it, and how would it be implemented.
Gariépy: I think a separatist state from one of the western nations (US, Canada, maybe in Europe, who knows…)

You can totally have an ethnostate in one of the United States separating from the country in a times of civil unrest

And he thinks that ethnostates should both provide equal rights to all ethnicities while restricting immigration by ethnicity:

Q: In an ideal ethnostate, what would qualify someone to be considered a part of a particular ethnicity? What part does race play in that?
Gariépy: Ultimately I'm a constitutionalist and I don't believe an ethnostate should treat people differently; I think it should provide equal rights to any ethnicity. I just think the ethnostate could be founded by people of a certain race for that purpose and could limit immigration in a way that their racial group remains relatively uniform (or at least controllably ^[sic] mixed with a small percent of migrants). I do not think the constitution should specifically make white people have more rights than other ethnicities.

thebritisher: [I]ndividuals, irrespective of race, ought to be afforded the same rights & privileges and be the same before the law. Agreed?
Gariépy: Depends on what you mean by individuals. If you mean people appearing before the law in a country where they live, I agree. If you mean potential migrants applying for immigration, no. I believe a country can apply arbitrary selection criteria for who becomes a citizen.

Gariépy claims that he does not advocate for establishing an ethnostate by force and claims it is a strawman to claim that he advocates for force. (Ironically, Gariépy has strawmanned his opposition as believing that multicultural states should be imposed "by force", rather than believing that migration and multiculturalism are natural events that do not require force.) However, Gariépy has appeared on The Right Stuff podcast The Daily Shoah, a platform that wholeheartedly endorses genocide of nonwhites, and has shared an article from The Daily Stormer. Even though Gariépy may not believe in establishing an ethnostate through force, he is willing to work with with those who do.

Jew-baiting Destiny

“”Let the jews take all the screenshots they want, I am a libertarian and I respect the jew.

—Jean-François Gariépy, Jew respecter

After streamer Destiny accused Gariépy of statutory rape (see below), Gariépy claimed that Destiny was Jewish and was orchestrating an ongoing brigade of his Discord server:

another jewish youtuber accusing me of sexual assault

Yesterday, a jewish Twitch.tv star whom I will not name has come into the server and violated several rules along with his fans, posting porn and doxing material. This is a kind of tactic we have seen before whereby the public intellectual gets humiliated at the intellectual level, and later goes on to try to ruin my personal life through attacks. I recommend we all ignore this raid and I have done what I could to ban most of the people who were involved in it.

Later, when asked about whether Destiny should be able to comment on the "sexual assault" allegations, Gariépy stated:

Q: Didn't JF [Gariépy] believe in complete free speech?

Gariépy: I don't believe in free speech for cockroaches, just humans.

Q: @JFGariepy don't RT this --- it's a joke from destiny (he was underage at the time) [picture of tweet from Destiny claiming he was in an "underage relationship" (during high school)]

Gariépy: I don't care, I'm retweeting some of Destiny's statements, including his acknowledgment that he is jewish.

On a livestream with YouTuber Bunty King, Gariépy again stated that Destiny was Jewish:

King: Now, there was something that I noticed with, during that whole tiff between you and Destiny. You went out of your way to call him Jewish. And you kept calling him Jewish in your Discord server or somewhere. Like, the, uh, "a jewish twitch TV star is, you know, disparaging me, you know, running my name through the mud". Why did you need to point out that he was Jewish?

Gariépy: Well, I, I pointed out that he was Jewish two times. The first was a humorous time, because on my Discord server, we keep joking about how, uh, [YouTuber] Kraut [and Tea] was Jewish, and the moment I called him Jewish, I implied that, perhaps the fact that he is Jewish or partly Jewish in this case, may have changed his view of white nationalism, uh, and I believe that in the case of Kraut [and Tea], it did. Now when the Destiny, uh, false allegations against me started, I said as a joke on my Discord server, "What? Another Jewish YouTuber making false allegations against me?" So that was a joke in relation to the fact that Kraut was also a Jewish YouTuber who had made, who was preparing to make doxing activities and smearing against me.

Gariépy: The second time is that I didn't want to refer to his name as Destiny because I didn't want to, I don't want to contribute to his popularity anymore, he's been defaming me on the public space, and so I said, "a Jewish Twitch star", because on his Twitter account, that's what he says. In his bio description, he says, um, anarcho-something, ancap, blah blah blah, and Jewish. And so that's how he self-identifies, so I have no problem in to labeling him a, a label that he is giving himself in his Twitter bio, just like I wouldn't have any problem saying "a biologist alt-righter", because I do write in my Twitter description that I am a biologist, and so people can call me a biologist, and I can call Destiny a Jew.

However, Destiny's Twitter description is obviously sarcastic:

In case using both "I'll trigger you" and "safe space" or repeating "anarcho-capitalism" wasn't convincing, Destiny has called this description "a literal meme".

In a Twitter thread after the stream, Gariépy doubled down:

Destiny: Oh hey @realbuntyking, I told you @JFGariepy would lie to your face if you let him. On your show, he claims he calls me a Jew because it's in my Twitter profile[.] I actually added "Jewish" to my Twitter profile in response to him calling me a Jew.

King: I was waiting for you to chime in, bro. May I interview you soon? I’d love to get your perspective on the state of YT Live.

Gariépy: For the record, Destiny self-identified as Jewish before I ever called him Jewish. See [this video] at 1:19:42, where he says 'we' when referring to the Jewish people.

The most reasonable conclusions from this saga are either that Gariépy is really, really, really bad at analyzing sources for their intent, or that Gariépy is willing to project "Jewishness" onto his enemies.

Sexual history

“”If you make love to one 18 year old person of your own sex, this is consensual homosexual sex. If you are a man, and you make love to one thousand 18-year-old women on the EAST COAST!! That's rape. - The Absolute State of The Left Tonight.

—Jean-François Gariépy, discussing his history on the East Coast

"Mentally retarded" "fiancée"

“”Q: Is autist pussy best pussy? Gariépy: honestly, yes, autistic women are dedicated to success in the sex sphere

On a 27 October 2017 Drunken Peasants livestream, Gariépy discussed his relationship with an autistic Drunken Peasants fan-girl who had an intellectual disability. Gariépy stated that "unfortunately, the state of Texas has ruled that she could not decide to be with me". On an 18 December 2017 Andy Warski livestream, Gariépy further described the girl as being 19 years old, as his fiancée, and as being autistic and being "mentally retarded". Gariépy also asserted that the girl's father kidnapped her in order to prevent her from living with him and was intimidated by the court system.

Since he claimed the incident happened around 2015, that means he would have been dating a disabled 19-year-old when he was about 31 years old. His claims about sex with autistic women are especially concerning when you consider that autistic women are about 3 times as likely as non-autistic women to experience sexual abuse.

On 28 December 2017, Steven "Destiny" Bonnell read aloud the entirety of a court document from Gariépy's 29 August 2016 petition for writ of mandamus to the Texas Ninth Court of Appeals. Afterwards, he reached substantially different conclusions from Gariépy. Destiny asserted:

Apparently, JF [Gariépy] was married to a woman [...] in another [US] state. He went down – according to their [the parent's] side of the story, now this is one side of the story. Um, apparently he went down, he found a woman that was severely mentally disabled, the psychiatrist said that she had the mental capacity of a 10- or 11-year-old, tried to have a baby with her, and was trying to bring her back to wherever he lived to have a baby. He was convinced that they were fiancees, even though he's still married to another woman and there are no divorce proceedings filed. And he's also convinced that she's pregnant, even though apparently there's no evidence of her being pregnant. So he thought that he was the fiancee to somebody that was ruled as being – that having the mental faculty of a 10- or 11-year-old. Um, and then I guess her parents were, were – filed to get guardianship of this young girl because they thought she was being taken advantage of, that JF [Gariépy] was trying to capture her, take her to another state, and then make her into a baby machine. Um, and apparently the young girl didn't object to her parents becoming her guardians. Holy shit.

Rules about pornography

“”ASS, ASS is what I've always been interested in, although tits I have grown to appreciate

—Jean-François Gariépy, PhD

On his Discord server, Gariépy allows straight porn but disallows gay porn and porn that females enjoy (except from "confirmed women"):

No trap, gay, trans or man-oriented porn in the #nsfw or #curiosities channel. Soft lesbian porn allowed. Images that are aimed at eliciting disgust in the normo-centric male population are forbidden. If, under the compulsion of her sexual attraction to males, a confirmed woman posts no more than 1 picture of a naked man in the nsfw per week, she shall be allowed to do so, but not encouraged. This rule should not be interpreted as a factual statement that traps aren't gay. Any post that violates the laws of the United States of America is banned by these rules, for instance pedophilia-related content. Also, pegging is gay.

We at RationalWiki find it wonderfully odd that Gariépy allows porn (which everybody knows is produced by degenerate Jews to produce emasculated males^{[citation NOT needed]}) in his Discord ethno-state.

Sexual assault allegations

Gariépy has admitted that seven women are accusing him of sexual assault in court.

Gariépy: The second disclosure I'd like to make is that I have experience with false allegations myself. So this is a very personal subject for me, as I have faced very recently multiple false allegations by women in courts. And so I've developed some knowledge of how the courts can be used as instruments of abuse by women. Just to give you an idea, and I cannot believe that I am stating this, while I'm not a millionaire nor running for presidency, I've been facing more false accusations in court this year than Trump in his entire life. Many of my viewers have been sending me messages of support through Twitter, and I want you all to know that I am doing good. I've never committed any act of violence in my life, and none of the claims against me in court have ever been proven. So all that these allegations will have done is cost an enormous amount of time in learning the law...

Strawman understander

“”Strawman is a form of censorship. It is worse than other forms of censorship, because not only do you keep the audience from hearing the actual view of the speaker, you also invent another one and put it in his mouth.

—Jean-François Gariépy, logical fallacy expert

Gariépy believes that strawmanning is literally censorship:

Gariépy: So, now you're going to explain to me why exactly it would be the most moral thing to do to force the entire planet to have only multicultural states.

David Sherrat: LMAO at "forcing"
"Why can't we ban nonwhites? Stop taking away my freedom to ban things!!!!!! THIS IS OPPRESSION OF THE HUWITE RACE REEEEE"

Gariépy: Well, the man I'm talking to in that conversation accuses me of racism and hate for blacks, so he's strawmaning me and advocating for that strawman, which is a form of censorship (of my real view), which in turn is a violation of my free speech, which is a way to force people.

David Sherrat: Being "misrepresented" on twitter is a form of censorship
WEW LAD

Gariépy: Yeah, and now I'll mute you because you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

Meli Missfit: You accused him of censorship because he straw-manned you. I'm not even sure if it's because of English being your second language since you're French, but how exactly is straw-manning censorship when you still have the right to defend your arguments?

Gariépy: Strawmaning is censorship because the readers of a strawmanned tweet are not necessarily reading the reply of the original speaker, therefore some people can be deceived in believing that the statement was from the original speaker.

Destiny: Sorry buddy, "deceiving someone" does not count as censorship, as per dictionary + wikipedia definitions. :) [this tweet was an intentional argumentum ad dictionarium fallacy, or "dictionary memes"]

Gariépy: Now you'll quote the dictionnary definitions of censorship and you'll explain to me how replacing someone's view with a fictive one that they did not express does not fit within the definition of censorship that you'll have chosen.

Destiny: No one is "replacing" anything, JF. I'm not sure if this is a language problem or what, but even if someone miquotes you it is not "replacing." "Replacing" implies removing the original and inserting your own.

Gariépy: Which is exactly what a strawman is. Thanks for agreeing on the matters. It has nothing to do with a language problem on my side. In fact, I'll make my next video on this subject, feel free to produce a video response.

While strawmanning can certainly have the same effect as censorship (if a person hears the strawmanner's misrepresentation but has not heard the strawmannee's original opinion and chooses not to find the original opinion, then the strawmannee's position has not been heard at all), it does not use the same methods as censorship does. Strawmanning neither removes the strawmannee's opinions nor prevents one from seeking out and identifying the strawmannee's opinions. In short: If someone's been strawmanned, you can still read their book; if someone's been censored, there's no book left to read.

Missing girlfriend

Gariépy's girlfriend Élora Patoine (known on his streams as "Mama JF") went missing in June 2023 after Gariépy dropped her off at a gas station. Days after her disappearance, Gariépy said he was "now in charge of keeping the home clean" so took three days to renovate and "sterilize this home" after she left. In response to a media inquiry about the case months later, Gariépy called her "a free woman who has decided to travel". According to him:

"She has gone on a trip and she left no trace behind and she got rid of, apparently, anything that could help track her ... [she] went off-grid on her own volition. That's a project she's been working on and preparing for many years, and I have respected her liberty in doing so. So she chose to go and now the police is looking for her because she has given no news to anyone and she could be dead. She could be dead or she could be having fun at some party and just didn’t hear about her loved ones are worried about her."

As of October 2023, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) were still investigating her disappearance. Concerning the situation, Gariépy claimed it wouldn't have happened if men "owned" and "controlled" their wives:

That is sometimes the state of delusion in the female mind and I can’t do anything about this. I have zero control over this. If we were in the society, the Christian society of 1920, maybe I could file some report and say ‘Hey, my wife is a little crazy, she’s a little out there. Can I control—can I own her, basically?

Such a comment is not highly out of character since he has previously streamed alongside Roosh V. Additionally, on his October 24, 2023 livestream Gariépy stated that he did not commit murder but that if he was imprisoned for murder it wouldn't be that bad since he estimated he would only ultimately be in prison for about two years under such a scenario.

Unrelated trivia

Around this time, a clip resurfaced from 2019, which was uploaded back then to mock Mama JF; the video shows her interrupting Gariépy's stream with another online personality while crying and saying "you tried to kill me". Gariépy reacted by stating she was confused.

In February 2024, Gariépy responded to an interview between Taylor Lorenz and Libs of TikTok, stating: "But if I was an anonymous person, and you were to be a journalist of The New York Times that doxes me, there is no circumstance under which I would make an interview with you. There is only in fact one circumstance which I may be interested, which is, if I have the impression that we will get a moment alone where I have the occasion to chop your head, wrap your body in plastic, and bury you in a place where I can never be held accountable for the murder." In August 2024, Gariépy positively reviewed the game Crime Scene Cleaner, commenting it was a "stunningly realistic game experience."
