The Nux Crossover: How The Nerd Right Formed

Malcolm & Simone Collins sit down with Nux Taku for an epic, wide-ranging conversation on the evolution of the online right, anime-to-politics pipeline, faith, culture war, and building a better future. From hentai reviews to biblical literalism, technopuritanism, abortion, consent morality, AI, demographics, and why the right feels like the “fun side” — this is one of the most unfiltered and insightful collabs in the nerd/tech right space.

Topics include:

* The journey from 4chan/anime degen culture to political commentary

* Why repentance & forgiveness are biblical traits that define the right

* Critiques of consent-only morality, abortion, and leftist degeneration

* Optimism, family, pronatalism, and raising based kids

* Conspiracy theories, Candace Owens lore, and truth-seeking

* AI, progress, and performative subversion on the right

Episode Transcript

Malcolm Collins: Hello, Simone and Nux. This is the collab that was promised 3,000 years ago. We are so excited to be here with you. And what I wanna go into with Nux is exploring the evolution of this sort of new online culture that we share that has become, I don’t know, the nerd right, the tech right, the new right, whatever people wanna call it.

Because if you were to go to me five years ago, right? E- even five years ago, I mean, imagine 10 years ago, and you’re like, “Okay, so who are, like, the right-wing thought leaders on the internet?” And it’s like, “Well, the one we’ve got on now is a, a Jewish VTuber who used to do hentai reviews.” “... And then we’ve got fox girls.

We’ve got, like, five fox girls.” And I’d be like, “Are they furries?” And they’d be like, “No, they’re not furries, but they are fox girls. And then we’ve got, like, this slime girl, but it’s very important that you know that she’s a chimera slime. Then we’ve got Commie Mommy,” and people would say- Elf

Simone Collins: slime. Yes.

Malcolm Collins: Simone, am I not coming through?

Simone Collins: No, no. Just elf and slime girl. Like, it’s

Malcolm Collins: chimera. Oh, elf and... Oh yes, I’ve [00:01:00] got to get it right. Yeah. So Commie Mommy, and then people would be like, “Well, she, she can’t actually be, like, a socialist.” No, she’s actually a socialist, and she’s well-liked within our community.” And then it’s like, and then you got the top of the, the, the pack, and it’s this guy who, who lives like a homeless guy.

And I’d say to myself, like I’d be like, “Lives like a homeless guy? How does he not have any money?” It’s like, “Oh, no, he has tremendous amounts of money. Tremendous amounts.” But it’s so weird, this sort of world, and it’s a path that is not... Like, we, we in the past have tried to trace it from, like, the early online atheist communities to, like, the anti-feminist communities, then to, like, the anti-woke communities, and then to the modern right, and then it sort of, like, combined with parts of the red pill.

But you represent a different strand which comes out of the anime degen 4chan world, which we also come from as well. And I wanted to take this to sort of explore this journey, you as one of the leading content creators who sort of lived it, [00:02:00] and how your mind changed and the various points you had major inflections.

Nux Taku: Yeah, no, it’s de- it’s definitely a weird a weird area on the internet, for sure. I, I don’t know. For me it was, for me it was like, “Wow, I, I like making fun of retards and most of the retards are in politics. We have to start doing that.” I mean, that was the, that was kind of the thought process. Among other things, for sure.

I mean, I have to say, one of my biggest inspirations was Hasan Piker shocking his dog. That was, that was huge for me personally. Like, I, I’m like, this guy, he’s very well accepted in like the, the streamer world. You know, the, the pop culture. And I’m like, you know what? I, I want it to be as uncomfortable for radical leftists as for radical right-wingers.

Mm-hmm. And that’s what I did. I dedicated... And now no one wants to collab with Hasan. You know? Hasan was on The Ben Shapiro Podcast and no one wants to touch him anymore. You know, they got obliterated for it.

Malcolm Collins: You, you did a great job nuke- I mean, the JD Vance was like, “Oh yeah, of course. You know, the dog shocking guy, right?”

Like. It’s [00:03:00]

Nux Taku: cinema. It’s amazing. Yeah. The we-

Malcolm Collins: I actually

Nux Taku: think- I, I think- Okay,

Malcolm Collins: take it ...

Nux Taku: no, I think putting, making the face of the left like, you know, dog shocking, you know, womanizing, brothel enthusiast, terrorist supporter, that’s like the face of the left and it’s like, you wanna be on that side? So like you mentioned- You have, and I

Malcolm Collins: love that like on our side you have Asmongold, who literally, I don’t know any other human who would do this, doesn’t kill a cockroach growing, crawling on him, picks it up.

Who is that nice to a cockroach? Who is that pathologically nice? All right. And then leads it outside, right? And Hasan’s shocking his dog. But I think-

Nux Taku: Okay, I think, I think you’re taking the, the Asmongold thing like, a, a... It’s like, loves cockroaches, supports like late term abortions, right? That, that’s Asmongold.

You know? It’s-

Malcolm Collins: He still-

Nux Taku: You got a lot of interesting characters out

Malcolm Collins: here ... does Asmongold support late term abortion?

Nux Taku: Asmongold, he supports abortion a moment before birth. He supports it.

Malcolm Collins: Oh, really? I did not know that. We- Yeah. It’s interesting ... we have changed our views on abortion significantly recently.

There, there was a recent video on that.

Nux Taku: Really?

Malcolm Collins: People [00:04:00] should watch because it was the craziest video ever. It starts with a gang bang where like people got together

Simone Collins: and then- It starts with a, yeah, basically you know about Aila’s birthday gang bang, right?

Nux Taku: Who?

Simone Collins: Oh my God. So Ayla, a very famous sex researcher for her birthday one year in like 2024, so a bit ago I think decided to have a, a gang bang for her birthday because that’s how one celebrates in certain circles in the Bay Area with 42 men.

And one of her friends who helped to organize her organize it met her now future husband and, and father of her child at this gang bang. She was a fluffer. But, but, but

Malcolm Collins: in

Simone Collins: between- But she had this really terrible,

Nux Taku: Wait, y- you called her a sexual researcher?

Simone Collins: She is. Is that like a nice way to say a w***e?

She possesses some of the world’s best- Like, I’m trying to figure

Nux Taku: this out.

Simone Collins: No, so she, she has probably

Malcolm Collins: the world’s best data set. If you’ve ever seen those data sets of kinks and what they correlate to and like how they c- cross correlate, the trans community hates her ‘cause she always just says whatever she thinks is true. Yeah. We’re not promoting her lifestyle. But an
