I thought it was a made up name for GOP-er aka a member of the republican party. Didnt realize it was more targeted than that. Also, i didnt know who nick fuentes is, so i guess ill count myself lucky

From what I've been told: Nick Fuentes ~~fans~~cultists.

It was Serbian alien from planet Nibiru (whole universe is Serbian, God is serbian too) you don't believe me, ask Jovanka Jolić she knows everything.

Ok, I am not saying he wasn't, but would somebody mind explaining to me exactly why everyone is so ready to declare he is right-wing?

He's from a morman family, but that doesn't necisserily mean shit, the most left person I know was raised by mormans.

He also was saying Kirk was too hateful. That does not sound like words from a 4chan incel to me.

And the bullet casings were distinctly antifa, also seems like not a right wing nut to me.

I only ask because I am honestly concerned that the rhetoric around his politics is getting hijacked by people trying to make him a right winger to hide the fact that the left is not afraid to kill.

Supposedly the Fuentes lot had co-opted “Bella Ciao”, a classic and beautiful anti fascist song, for their own memes or whatever.

I listen to a lot of Knowledge Fight, where Fuentes is a recurring idiot, and haven’t heard of this there, but I am not a studious listener.

"Groypers" are what the followers of Nick Fuentes call themselves.

the shit written on the casings were references to memes they pass around in those circles, and there's other reasons, including his internet activity to say he was a Groyper.

Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck. Shits like a duck, it's prolly a duck.

Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck. Shits like a duck, it’s prolly a duck.

Well, that's kind of the problem. As much as I want to believe it, it just doesn't really fit. The things written to the casings… well I'm sorry, the only people I know writing "OwO what's this" or "catch this fascist" are very left-wing.
Sure, it may be possible that they also ironically made fun of such things, but it's definitely not the intuitive thought

So the only thing that actually would lead to that is his "internet activity" and yeah, that's what the original person asked. What activity is known that really shows he was far-right.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 16 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

that's just it. The OwO what's this is mocking furries, and is a meme groypers pass around alot.

"Catch this fascist " is from helldiver's 2, which is a somewhat-over-the-top display of the american kind of liberation. By which I mean, you bomb the shit out of things. the catch this with the arrows is literally the player calling in an orbital nuclear strike. The game is meant for you to understand that you're not playing the heroes, but a lot of nazis and fascists still enjoy playing it; like how a large number of them love playing WH40k. The game lets them be openly fascist in a way that's normally frowned on in society.

his internet activity includes being on certain discords in which groypers hung out, as well as comments on social media.

you can cast inferences all you want, but taken as a whole; it's shaping up to a picture of him being a follower of nick Fuentes.

I hope you get another comment from someone who knows way more than I have picked up, but from what I can tell he apparently wore a Pepe costume and Nick Fuentes apparently was suggesting Kirk was a fascist. I'm not sure what Nick's actual politics are other than despicable, but apparently he didn't like how Kirk was doing fascism so I guess you can think Kirk is a fascist and support Fuentes. People are taking that and the furry aspect of the alleged engravings because apparently Fuentes fans lean into being furries. So overall it seems like a Pepe costume, furry reference, and fascist critiques are being interpreted by some to suggest groyper. Admittedly, I am not thoroughly convinced, but "If you're reading this you're gay LMAO" is some generic 4chan trash that I can't imagine any actual anti fascists would want to be tied to. Stranger things have happened though.

I've been wondering about this too, thought I was just out of the loop but nothing I can find from a reputable source has really made me think he's a right winger.

Like, maybe we can't say for sure but to insist he's actually extremely far right seems like a wild leap.

[–] iturnedintoanewt@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Yeah makes me feel this place isn't much better than tankies. I'd like to have better proofs instead of jumping to conclusions just like that.
