I'll put it this way: Between Nick, Baked, Ralph, and Ralph's new non-Gator boyfriend alone there are a lot of recent legal issues piling up in one place that seems to exist to shit its own pants

Stupidity and bad decisions do not need government help, we as a species are more than capable of that on our lonesome.
 
Because Lil Nipples is stuck in the bit. He very unambiguously copies Trump’s and Sam Hyde’s body language and yet he still limpwrists and lisps like a lil gayboy. The fact that he was saying he has “tons of friends” during the Metokur debate when he was referring to the parasocial online interactions he has with zoomers who pay money to talk to him is another one. I’m not sure why but I’m fascinated with the vast divide between people in their late 20’s/mid 30’s who can still live life separately and disconnected from the internet compared to zoomers who live life as if they can’t survive without social media and those same parasocial interactions they have with “content creators” and “influencers”.

Also I showed my gf the recent “having sex with women is actually gay” video and she said “oh yeah he’s a total closet case”. He’s just funny to laugh at.
 
For me political lolcows are my favorite. I find weird contradictions funny like being a rich communist that’s hypernationalistic for a country he doesn’t live in, like Turkey. But this, this, tops it all. It’s led by a whiny white Cuban that cries about being a traditional Catholic that totes supports traditional family values…. While being super gay for 🐱 ♂️s.

I sadly also enjoy political whining and shit flinging online.

I have a buddy who’s really into the AF shit, to the point that he’s behaving like an AF cultist. He tried to get me into it and I found it funny at first, then really gay, now it’s really funny and gay.

It’s hilarious how it’s somehow the gayest political movement. Just the way he recoils from women.

I saw the Louis Theroux documentary and thought it would be a once in a life time opportunity to follow the career of a cult leader in real time.

It was a good documentary.
 
I'm a member of several far-right organizations and I have to repeatedly tell people that Nick Fuentes is not based and he's a homo I'm tired of being associated with this closeted fagg
He also just makes traditionalist look bad in general
 
I'm interested in AF drama because for years I've suspected that the whole reason Nick started the "Optics War" with TRS is because he had a falling out with James Allsup, who was a TRS fan (and later employee for a period of time). If you don't like wignats and Nazis that's fine, but I hate it when people use politics to settle personal beefs. If anything, the Jaden arc proved that with Nick everything is personal and politics doesn't matter.

Propping yourself up as a political dissident and getting young men doxed and subsequently have their lives ruined all because you want to be the cool kid for once in your life is peak faggotry. That's why I was always mad at the internet when it came to Nick.
 
I’m fascinated by the dissident right, particularly those that rely heavily on antisemitic tropes. It goes back to the time I was in a graduate program in the humanities (I switched to medicine later) and I had a paper published concerning historical revisionism that overlapped with what I would characterize as a conspiracy theory predicated on antisemitism. The journal is probably best described as “mid-tier” in that it practiced the usual professional standards of editorial refereeing (i.e. peer review), but didn’t exert much in the way of influence. This is another way of saying that it gave you a nice bullet to put on your C.V. early in your career, but it isn’t really going to go far in establishing a solid reputation.

One day I go to check my email and I discover a handful of messages from complete strangers going apeshit on me for what I wrote in the aforementioned article. Much to my surprise, my article was discovered by a small community of white nationalists on one of those oldschool ezboard forums and they had gone through every line I had written and annotated it with this running commentary that I found absolutely hilarious: “here the pathology of the Jew-lover is made manifest” and “zionism has clearly emasculated the author” are a couple of comments that stick in my memory.

I decided to reply to the emails and it wasn’t long before I was having a pretty good conversation with a couple of the forum’s participants who had gone out of their way to contact me. It turned out that these guys really wanted to have meaningful conversations about the topic of my article, but didn’t really have any outlet to do so. The more I got to know them, it became apparent to me just how lonely and starved for conversation they actually were.

In the world of higher education my politics are considered conservative and I see myself as being part of a conservative intellectual tradition. In that context, I’m a bit of an outlier and was usually the token “conservative” in various reading groups and seminars and it was there I started to explore how one should engage the far right. Most of my peers and mentors usually adopted a stance that the kind of people who deny the Holocaust or take ‘The Protocols of the Elders of Zion’ seriously should be marginalized by means of social exclusion.

This more or less kickstarts a sort of anthropological interest that would eventually lead me to observe groups like America First. I’m not convinced one should adopt an aggressive policy of exclusion because it doesn’t really address the problem of why people come to adopt these views in the first place or even provide a reasonable path for the same people to abandon said views.

There is this unspoken assumption in progressive politics that a person's beliefs reflects a moral quality about that person; so someone with an honest belief that Jews are trying to dismantle the white race through miscegenation is immoral by virtue of just having that belief and should therefore be subject to social exclusion. I don’t share that assumption and have slowly come to the realization that it actually encourages people with such beliefs to dig their heels in and keep them.

When I watch these types of communities, I typically come away with a greater insight on how these worldviews function epistemically and what sort of needs are being met. When I have personal encounters with people who hold to these kinds of ideas, I like to think I can engage them better on an interpersonal level and get them off script so they can gain some perspective.

I’d argue that radical groups play off each other. The far left wants a far right or better said they need each other. A lot of activists don’t want people to be able to change because if justifies their behavior. It makes them feel heroic. If people chilled out, they couldn’t justify punching or shooting grandma, burning down cities, etc.

More importantly they function like a scapegoat. If all the worlds problems can be attributed to Nazis (or Jews), then the problems can be solved by removing those groups of people. When things fail, it’s not because of poor policies, a lack of grit, not enough popular support, having a bad understanding of economics, etc., it’s because those damn Nazis (or Jews) got in the way.
 
I like the weird psychology of it all. Only reason I even joined KF was because literally everyone in their community have some strange values, behaviors and general personalities. It is just insane to think that these people exists at all and, especially, that some actually believe the bullshit they spit out.

Additionally, I genuinely feel bad for every person involved, though, to different degrees. You gotta have some sort of problem to behave the ways these guys behave. Like, I hope they change, though I know most won't...

Hmm.

This post agitates me and for fun I want to respond but it’s difficult. You place yourself in the rule of the elite high status dignified “social official” who is self appointed in a position of legitimate and highly lucrative economic and social influence, tasked with carrying out the role of ensuring that wrongthinkers are made into right thinkers on behalf (obviously of course) of Jews. Because to have a wrong opinion about Jews obviously probably should result in social exclusion because Jews are uniquely important and better than other groups. Their victimization and otherization you (quite rightly) assume to be different and more important than other groups. You recognize the seriousness of this social issue but have the good will and depth of feeling to (rather than simply call for their mass exclusion, which we all agree would probably be for the best) place these hideous anti semites under a microscope so that you can conduct a detached scientific research of their insanity so that they can be more fruitfully deconstructed and subdued.

That is why you, the enlightened and superior academic, are given resources and privilege in order to do your most important ordained duty of standing up for the truly important people of the world by investigating this most important of all social ills, anti semitism (as all we enlightened and well educated upper class can agree).

Perhaps if you were a bit more properly educated you would finally come to recognize that social exclusion is the only response to anyone who notices - i-I mean imagines - that there is “something” to all this hubbub around the topic of “the Jews”. Obviously there is nothing to it, as we free thinkers and true academics are aware. I care more about Jews than anyone else. Don’t even try to challenge me. And as much as I believe vehemently in defending Jews from the horrors of the greatest evil that has ever existed (Adolf Hitler and the Nazis) I also expend just as much of my energy in working to show how I am an ally against all forms of whiteness. That is to say, not Jewish ethnic solidarity which I (as obviously every good American) wholeheartedly support, but explicitly and distinctly non-Jewish whiteness which I think we are all proud to stand in solidarity against in the struggle to make America a more tolerant, diverse, equal, place for everybody.

I find Nick uniquely irritating. His voice, his mannerisms, his weird squinting, and most of all his smug and pompous personality. I watched him for a bit back in 2017, but eventually I stopped because his annoying habits outweighed whatever insights he had into the news. Since then he's gotten exponentially worse. So watching him slowly unravel over the past year or so has been highly entertaining.

He's basically shitstain: the person.
