Strange, “Fuentes” don’t seem like a WHITE name for a white supremacist. I wonder how the ACTUAL white white supremacist feel about that… Also, fuck that racist piece of offal!
Wow talk about racist. The name Fuentes comes from Spanish and French origin, which are mostly white people. Also 10-15% of Mexico’s population is white. To assume someone is non-white because their last name is Fuentes is actually hilariously racist.
That’s the point. White supremacists will redefine ‘white’ anytime they want. Nick isn’t white enough to easily stay in the in-group.
There was a firewall? The Heritage Foundation was already the nazi bar. The surprising thing is that a bunch of staffers didn’t know that.
do “moderate” republicans realize yet what maga really is?
Uh, was he ever really outside the radical right wing extremists?
The less far right types used to embrace him in private. That they’re now doing it openly representa a big change in the kinds of policy they’re willing to implement.
Yep. I was worried this was coming years ago, and here we are. The next generation of young men both here in the US and abroad will have a large proportion of fascists.
Fighting this ideology is more important than fighting Trump or any individual authoritarian on its own. Encourage empathy and community wherever you are, especially among young children. Strongly condemn fascism wherever you are able. And shame Nick Fuentes and his ilk relentlessly. Let them never sleep.

This is like paper straws…
Sure it’ll help.
But the real problem is ~30 years ago No Child Left Behind strip everything that wasn’t STEM out of public schools and focused on standardized testing.
Schools are what are supposed to socialize the next generation into well adjusted adults. But we’ve stopped doing that for so long people can’t even connect that to why there’s “suddenly” a bunch of angry young adults who can’t do critical thinking or empathize with others…
Just like ke climate change there’s no switch to flip and fix it immediately. Prior generations took a long time off, and it’ll take a long time to fix.
They don’t even teach money management or personal finance. When I was in school the HomeEc teacher taught everybody how to at least balance a budget, along with cooking and sewing. I remember being annoyed that they didn’t go into any kind of investment management.
Almost 4 decades later and kids get none of that.
I relate to this way too much. Spot on
It’s all the hyper focus on capitalism…
If something didn’t generate capital, it got cut out of schools.
50 years ago the highest tech you got was maybe a typing course for a semester.
Think of how much we need to teach a kid today compared to 1975, the solution has always been lengthening public free education, but instead we chopped out everything that took kids (all kids are psychopaths) and spit out adults who could function and cooperate in their society.
The worst part is fixing it is like planting a shade tree. 20 years from now we’ll have them, but there’s always going to be the gap where some areas don’t have mature trees.
We created another MAGA, even if we pull them left, the normal effects of aging will turn them into ahitheads again when they’re 65+
Hmmm.
My thoughts are that once Trump picks a fight in some backwater country and starts a war and hits these same angry young men with a draft, you’ll likely see a lot of them changing their tune.
School is one thing, but the culture of the last 30 years has been decidedly tilted towards being cautious and wary of risk.
Right now, they think it’s cool to be tough and callous about life and since most of the men that actually fought fascism are now dead, this is when generational amnesia takes over. It was inevitable we’d swing in this direction.
How far it goes before the hot young things see the actual costs of this political viewpoint - and start paying it themselves, is the question of the day…
There won’t ever be a draft unless it’s a real war with China or equivalent. The US won Iraq without a draft.
I’m not sanguine qbout that. Young men are still required to register with Selective Service to this day
When that requirement for is gone, I’ll believe that a draft isn’t a possiblility.
We need liberals and Hollywood to embrace young men / men again.
The me 2 movement has completely gone off the rails where basically it’s painted all men as sex deviant assholes that need to be put in their place.
Every movie is some girl boss bullshit where the males are either limp simps or giant assholes.
Where are the male heroes? Where are people calling out bullshit they puts down all men?
Despite what people want to believe we NEED a coalition of men and women and putting down either side is a losing battle.
It reminds me of the time the democratic party decided to abandon the working class, because they’d be “able to make up” the votes in the suburbs…
You cannot alienate a whole swath of people and hope to win the popular vote.
If you were running for class president and the class voted for a vile racist asshole, your first instinct might be “geez all my classmates are assholes!”, but really you should ask yourself, wait a minute, I lost to HIM? How awful do people think I am??
I think history needed a big swing away from rape culture towards metoo. It can swing back a little bit but we shouldn’t demand that it goes all the way back to accepting rapists as heroes and never questioning morals of men who may be successful in their particular field. Also, men are very much represented in media. Top 10 grossing movies of this year included F1 and Superman. We are arguably witnessing the greatest athletes ever in Shohai Ohtani, Lebron James, Steph Curry… We have people like Jon Stewart. Look to Brennan Lee Mulligan as a hero. The guy is selling out stadiums as a Dungeons & Dragons DM.
And I think we have a lack of heroes because media doesn’t sell ads talking about heroes. They get more attention from villains and negative stories because it is more emotional. This is a product of consolidation of media and lack of standards in news outlets due to a pursuit of profits over trying to build around robust journalism.
I totally agree with what you’re saying about alienating people, and I agree me too was co-opted and weaponized, but I think it was important. Too bad no one listened to those women.
It absolutely was important, it just went overboard and pushed good men into a grifter’s arms
Yup, agree.
That’s just until they figure out he is into dudes.
Every time I read this comment, I misremember him as the dude who unintentionally jacked it to gay porn on stream. What’d Fuentes do again?
He was caught looking at femboy porn, which good tastes aside is seen as peak gay shit if you don’t mind some old 4chan tier terminology. Regardless the pissant is in the closet to some degree, whether he knows and is doing it on purpose is anyone’s bet. Also I think he did something weird with one of his followers so take that as you will. Regardless he is as my friend put it a weird Nazi Hispanic twink, which is so many modifiers someone will probably hate crime him for shits and giggles.
Groypers. He did groypers.
Ugh, I can’t even internally categorize them as gay. They’re genuinely rapacious sexual deviant terrorists.
They don’t call it gay either. But it is. And that’s (sexuality) fine, just reckon with it.
Also rumored to have been with Destiny.

They need a fresher since Chuck ate one for the team.
