Cross-posted from "Two Weeks Ago, Nick Fuentes Bragged about Charlie Kirk’s Dead Ideology and the Groyper Infiltration of Turning Point USA" by @livejamie@lemmy.zip in !chapotraphouse@hexbear.net


I'm new to Lemmy, and this is my first time trying a video. If there's a better way to do it let me know.

The best war to have with people like Fuentes & Kirk, is no war at all. Let them take each other down. Because in the end, the "purity test" they subject each other to will always fail and they will turn on each other like rabid dogs.

Wait, so it IS gang violence?

I agree, but it sucks that half of the country is convinced that the other half of the country is at war with them, when the violence seems to be coming from inside the house.

That's probably inevitable, but I do wonder if highlighting these individuals to normies is valuable.

[–] anachronist@midwest.social 8 points 2 days ago

They "think" the country is at war with them the way Nazi Germany "thought" Poland attacked their radio station.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

That's how most war is tbh - a random small group of people insisting on it. Sometimes it's two kings, or sometimes it's just Putin, or a small group of world leaders. But most of the time people hate the most their direct neighbors and family, the people they interact with the most. That's why most murders are personal and petty, cheating and breaking up, etc, not something big or ideological. War isn't a very natural state of being for those in it, but it sure makes people at the top very wealthy and keeps young women single and lonely.

Me too. "Nazi". Americans just can't use existing words but have to make up their own.

[–] beetus@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Tbf reusing the same words for peoples new or different idealogies is how we wind up with words losing their meanings. New words can be useful.

[–] troed@fedia.io 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The definition of groyper is the same as a nazi.

The Groyper movement has been described as white nationalist, homophobic, nativist, fascist, sexist, antisemitic, and an attempt to rebrand the declining alt-right movement.

(Wikipedia)

Call people what they are.

Specific type of nazi with its own context

[–] troed@fedia.io 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Really? What's the difference?

[–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not German, not glorification of Aryan genes I guess. I wouldn't make a new name just for that though.

[–] troed@fedia.io 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"white" and "aryan" are synonymous in their world.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Traditional German name, Fuentes.

His parents are Mexican. He considers himself white, and tbf he does look like a basic white boi. He's also quoted as saying he's Irish and Italian, neither of which qualify for traditional "Aryan" ancestry.

Enrique Tarrio has a similar deal, but doesn't consider himself a white supremacist, or white himself. This seems to break the minds of a certain kind of liberal that doesn't seem to understand that Hispanics can be racist against not just black people, but other Hispanics.

God knows what will happen to their brains if we get some actual Africans in trying to spread hate against Nigerians or whatever.

If you want to call all white supremacist fascists Nazis I don't think anyone reasonable minds that much but you need to understand that the fascists aren't all on the same wavelength of nationalist brain poisoning and that they're not tied to traditional definitions anymore than you are, and they disagree about what those definitions themselves.

I don't know if Fuentes believes in Aryanisn exactly but we do know he believes in the rest of their bullshit. Don't assume he has to be tied down to the old terminology or you might miss the new ones.

I’ll save you the energy, it’s just a person who is even farther right than the typical Right wing person and who criticizes typical right wing people for not being right wing enough. Like, maybe someone who would kill Kirk because he wasn’t right wing enough.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

I am all for 8chan trolls taking MAGA on. MAGA wouldn't stand a chance and it would be entertaining from the sideline.

[–] IHeartBadCode@fedia.io 31 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, seeing dude, and the memes he was putting on casings. I think this is very much a Fuentes boy. The second I heard the Hell Diver's code on a bullet casing I was like, "Ah man it was one of those fucking 4chan rejects that killed him."

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

lol yeah when I read the messages were something about bulges, owo and lmao gay, the first thought that jumped into my head was this is some 4chan incel shit.

Killed by a somebody with "reddit band kid" energy

Thanks! I've had an account for two years but never really used it a lot.

It's been a nice social media alternative after this past week's events.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yeah that makes sense, I've been avoiding the outside world as best I can. I'm glad you're here, have a good one! :)

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Not yet, as Lemmy doesn't really have video support at this time. Uploading to a user-friendly host like Catbox is already a solid way to do it, since they're ad-free and registration-free, so you're doing fine!

[–] Tangerine@scribe.disroot.org 2 points 2 days ago

Wow, thank you!

[–] J92@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

A similar joke has been used before to describe a British politician, but Nick Fuentes weirdly looks both like a child thats wearing his dads clothes, and a paedophile.
