Thinking a lot about what’s going on with Nick Fuentes and the cultural meaning.

Posted this to Twitter, thoughts?

“Nick Fuentes represents 4chan escaping containment.

There’s a lot of resentment out there. Americans feel they’ve lost their country. They’ve sent their kids to die in war after war and now they see they’ve been forced to fund a genocide. Every single President they vote in has got them into a new war. Now they’re also seeing the neglect of...

The socials are just opt-in spam now. Like a Hotmail inbox out of control. The failure to recognise it is the most staggering to me; the unimportant and the deranged is given as much airtime and credibility as the critical and profound. This is because the old guard have totally lost control and...
