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.

      Setting a precedent for icing streamer nazis for not being nazi enough, and having the last name Fuentes probably has him hyperventilating in between frantically removing all his old posts about Kirk

        I genuinely wonder if there’s going to be Kirk fans out there who are going to seek retaliation when they come to understand this guy was a Fuentes-flavored-fascist. Are we entering white-supremacist gang war territory?

        Probably not, but it’s interesting to imagine.

          Kirk’s followers, the ones that weren’t fake astroturfed numbers on paper, were all old people from what it seemed. Boomers that wanted to project onto him their own disappointing son or whatever. “Ah look at this nice tiny face man. He loves Jesus, he looks 45 at age 30, he respects his elders like our beautiful Mr President-Sir, and he doesn’t constantly tell me I’m a bad person for being racist, anti abortion, and loving Israel!”

          So I dunno. Maybe some 65 year old on their second stroke already will try chasing in a parking lot. That footage would be hilarious.

            Wasn’t he the largest Young Republican organizer? Isn’t that was TPUSA was all about?

              Oestensibly yes, but their online audience was always overwhelming older white dudes. It’s the same for the UK offshoot here, they’re mostly just a shell to funnel American money and contacts to violent old racists attacking drag story time hours and refugee hotels.

        I’m aware they weren’t super best friends, my point is that there’s a 0% chance Fuentes watched that dumb asshole’s neck splurt all over the place and didn’t wonder if he’s next, especially after having been harassed at his house before already

          idk what he would have expected “groyper war 2” to entail besides his rivals getting stochastically popped and him looting their corpses

      We do deserve the transcripts or actual call logs between Kash or whoever at the FBI and Fuentes. As a treat. I bet it’s fucking hilarious.

      “You little fuckin’ twerp! What the fuck is wrong with you?! Why were you encouraging this shit, dumbass?”

      “Listen, <insert every racial slur known to man towards Indian people>.”

      It’s what they all deserve more than anything. Infighting that destroys them. Please god. Please?

        “Listen, <insert every racial slur known to man towards Indian people>.”

        Gonna be real here, I think he’d be too terrified he’s going to get arrested or going to have agents watching him 24/7 to be racist. Him quickly disavowing all political violence in the aftermath, that kind of clean and grown up language, is definitely a sign he’s scared he’s going to face legal backlash.

          I don’t know if Fuentes has the self control to not call an Indian man with authority over him a racial slur

          But we’ll sadly never know. Well, maybe we’ll get the “based libs!” podcaster fbi in about 3 years and they’ll leak it

      It’s hard for me to imagine why he would be panicked. The entire federal government has decided this is a great time to crack down on “leftists” in the broadest terms. Even the most mild mainstream media ran the “pro-trans” bullet bullshit as long as they could. Nick has nothing to worry about. It doesn’t matter if the shooter has a manifesto saying Nick told him to do it. The system is captured and everyone is along for the ride.
