Topic: Nick Fuentes
The Af. started this discussion 2 weeks ago #132,718
I’ve noticed there are some people on the internet like Nick Fuentes who just say shocking controversial things because that gets clicks and that gets attention and that gets money. But I’m in my 20s, and I know that everybody who was popular on the internet when I was a 10 year old is irrelevant now. Internet fame doesn’t really last that long, eventually the algorithms just forget about you. I really wonder what his life is going to be like someday when he has to make money some way other than saying "Epstein is cool as fuck" once his audience turns 16. Being stupid edgy is funny from the ages of 13 to 15, but as soon as you turn 16, you age out of that. Unless your brain stops developing at 14, which happens to about 30% of the American population.

This is basically the political equivalent of staring in shit porn because it pays more than regular porn. Like yeah, you’re making money in the short run, but in the long run, how is this not social suicide?

as a non-homosexual, I never found Fuentes to be appealing

I’m just curious what’s going to happen to him in the future. Because he’s 27 now. He obviously feels like he’s on top of the world and can say whatever he wants and get away with saying stupid shit all the time. I just want to take a time machine to when he’s 40 and see what his life is. I’m just interested to know how this turns out in the end. Because right now, he appears to be going full retard.

Half black, half Asian, and half Mexican Nazis… I’m just saying, I’m not sure how many options an individual can have. I’m pretty sure these social media idiots are going to alienate themselves from Nazis and normal people at the same time.

These dudes are so lame I have no clue how they have a following. It’s probably an early sign of western civilizational collapse.

Think about it: They are in a Miami club, rocking out to a Heil Hitler song by a bipolar Black Hip Hop genius. They are in a Miami club and there’s not a woman in sight.
What abject fucking losers.

I couldn’t have said it better. They want clicks and attention. They’re in so deep there’s no “youthful indiscretion.” I just don’t see the appeal of any of these clowns.

This thread makes a good point. These guys are hard into their lies and characters. Thing is, they have public profiles and a digital ledger of their activities. Who are they at 50?

I’m OP, but it was two weeks ago so I’ve cleared my cookies several times since then.
Honestly, I don’t use social media. I think given how the world’s going, politics are extreme, it’s not clear which side will win in the end, ignoring preferences and feelings, we all have our preferences left vs right, it’s not clear long term how the country will go, I think the answer is to say nothing. Saying nothing is smarter than saying anything, because however the culture shifts, if you never said anything, nobody can say anything about you.

Which I know that in America there’s this strong libertarian pro free speech "say what you want even if it offends people because that’s your right!" But like… that’s sort of intangible. I want material success, and I’m not going to risk it over something stupid.

Which honestly is why this site is useful to me to just blabber on about whatever I’m thinking so I never go and actually say anything IRL by mistake.

These guys are plain assholes and grifters. They can make money ranting online about looks, women, race, and get enough attention that they receive money for their banter.
I wonder about young people who aren’t assholes and whether the de facto blockchain of their social media will get them “canceled” or worse in subsequent decades.
I think about dumb shit my friends and I did, relationships that flamed out, and it was a learning experience. All mostly forgotten and no existent record. Now, someone could come after you for an “insensitive” picture, comment, upvote, opinion, etc., from years ago. You can’t event delete anything without it being captured elsewhere.

I think half the problem is there are two sides, half the time one of those two sides is in power, and they want you to say opposite things.

For example: either you have to be for or against immigration, so either you’re a Marxist responsible for Maos famines or a racist responsible for the Holocaust. Just depends on which way the wind is blowing.

It’s the end of logical debate and embrace of demagogic invective.

In Germany when the Nazis took power, the second most popular political movement after the Nazis was actually the socialists. Emotion inspires the masses more than logic, the Nazis were actually democratically elected into power.

All I’m saying is it can literally devolve into voting for actual socialists or actual Nazis because that has actually happened before.

Of course what happens is the most extreme interpretation of the right is that selfishness is natural, tribalism is natural, and to have a strong tribe you need to fight and you need to rid your tribe of weakness. Which leads to exterminating minorities and disabled people and which leads to the justification of imperialism.
The most extreme interpretation of the left is that we are all equal and if anyone is not equal they’re doing something wrong, so you should harshly punish people for not working for the interest of the collective and individual rights and liberties don’t matter if they don’t benefit the collective. Which leads to reeducation camps, highly questionable theories of how democracy should work (centralism), etc.

The left has never come by equality honesty because you always have trade union leaders, party leaders, a dictatorship of the proletariat. The far right is more honest about wanting a monarch or chieftain.
I never thought about applying the Overton Window to Germany but it makes sense. In times of stress and chaos the fringes offer easy answers and catchy slogans.

It’s ironic though since Germany really would have been a lot better off if they literally didn’t do anything at all.
