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.
