Patrick was responsible for so much of the organizational aspects of AF so I don’t know what you’re trying to say here. AFPAC I wouldn’t have even happened without Patrick organizing everything. America First Students was Patrick’s brainchild as well and then Jaden and Nick did fuckall with the infrastructure and planning that Patrick took the time to provide them with.
No one is saying Patrick ran AF, but he had a big hand in keeping it from devolving into the disorganized shitshow it now is.
Also if you don’t see that Beardson is a chaotic force that continues to splinter whatever semblance of a “movement” (I use that term lightly) still exists, I don’t know what to tell you.
For the sake of argument, I'll accept your premises.
So Patrick helped build a cult. That's bad. He should be held accountable.
And Beardson's tearing it apart? Good. He should be given a pony.
In reality, I see no evidence the "organizational aspects of AF" have been of any importance, if they ever really existed. Fuentes' continued influence over his adherents is entirely due to the mind meld that happens when alienated kids maintain eye contact with him for hours at a time while he tells them the news of the day & references internet memes. He knows this & has talked about it often.
There was never any "movement" worth spitting on. That was an illusion created primarily by the legacy media, who wanted to tie Trump to neo-Nazis & promote themselves as necessary watchdogs. Fuentes is correct in believing he enjoys a symbiotic relationship with the Louis Therouxs of the world.
The clout that AF achieved with a few of the most brain-damaged, Z-list politicians in America is probably due to their having no idea how the internet works, & their being desperate to interact with a young audience. There is a small but real link between immigration restrictionists (via VDare & Scott Greer) & Fuentes, & that has been a factor.
As for Fuentes' revenue, that's owed to superchatters & mystery donors. The latter is an interesting situation.
And BEARDSON--the evil goblin who took CWC & RPG's jerrrrb!--is doing exactly what Fuentes wants him to do by creating the illusion of a barrier only the most determined sycophants can pass. Stop thinking of this as a political movement & think of it as a cult. That's all it is & all it's ever been. Patrick Casey used to be in the cult. Now he isn't. Boo hoo.
because he can say faggot and do a ching chong ding dong impression
