      I like your sentiment.

      I hate to say it, but money and corporations already dictate this and have been in complete charge for longer than I have been alive.

    Not nearly enough of a consequence.

    Anyone reading a history book can see the lesson plain as day: Nazis should not be tolerated and those aligned with Nazis are themselves Nazis.

      Maybe not the consequence he deserves but it’s also seemingly the only thing these people care about. Remember how David Hogg got Laura Ingraham off the air by calling out her sponsors?

      Fuentes is a Spanish name.

      Spain is a country in Europe.

      Spain supported Nazi Germany in WWII.

        A white supremacist in the US with obvious Spanish/Latino roots is quite literally the same as a Jewish neo nazi leader.

          Spain supported Germany in WWII. It was a fascist dictatorship until 1975. And last I checked, it is in Europe.

          “Mexican” isn’t an ethnicity, and there are a lot of families in Latin America that can trace their entire family tree back to Spain. They aren’t the ones being deported.

          The analogy doesn’t check out.

            Oh dear God. Not everything is racism , you know

            You’re missing the point where a white supremacist leader has Latin American Mexican roots. That is the same as a Jewish person becoming a neo nazi leader, it should cause a lot of head scratches but these racist fucks are so dumb or so deep into their mental gymnastics that they don’t even see that.

            The Jews working for the Nazi’s back in those days was quite different as they basically were desperate people doing the worst imaginable just to survive. Not excusing it, but it is remotely understandable.

            This is just half wits showing the world how dumb they are

            It almost sounds like you think that other person’s “racism” was real bad or something. Like saying a person of Mexican descent can’t be a white supremacist is on par with the deep hatred coming from some people that we all recognize as extremely wrong. But we’re to take that this person’s statement is also racism?! It’s good to know that hatred isn’t only on those that it targets but can also be wielded in the same way by members of that very group. I still don’t think pointing it out as simply racism is fair. Mocking Jews who supported Hitler wouldn’t get a racism or xenophobic label tossed around by me as a result. I’d agree. You’re not defending anything or anyone that’s worth defending.

    I actually found that interview really interesting, or at the very least entertaining.

    First of all, Tucker Carlson pretty much forced Nick Fuentes to agree that racism is not compatible with Christianity. They also talked a lot about Gaza, with Nick Fuentes mentioning that he thought it was hilarious that the neo-conservative right doesn’t realize that he opposes Israel for the exact same reason that the left does, i.e. not because of anti-Semitism but because he genuinely thinks that genocide is abhorrent. He then shifted gear and said he was a huge fan of Joseph Stalin.

    I really don’t think that Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens care at all about sponsorships or donor money at this point. They’re doubling down on criticizing military action on Venezuela and Iran, they’re insinuating that Charlie Kirk was murdered by Zionists for his views on Israel and demand that funding for Israel is withdrawn, and they are openly criticizing Trump. They’re probably going to win this civil war for the mantle of MAGA and will likely be vindicated in the end.

      Yeah the Nazi who’s famously done Holocaust revisionism is actually not anti-Semitic and opposes israel on the basis of human rights instead of cynically using it as a talking point to garner support…

      Both are fascist and antisemitic.

        As I mentioned, this dude said he admires Joseph Stalin. I don’t think it’s wise to to absorb or internalize what he says. But there’s a split in MAGA and I think it’s easy to see why Tucker’s faction is going to command the grassroots.

          Yeah, and the Nazi’s said they were socialist. That doesn’t carry any weight when you look at what they actually stand for.

          You’re right that there is a split, but both sides are still antisemitic. It’s between anti-Semites that support Israel and those that don’t.

        I’m not implying that he is. However I think he is genuine in his criticism of war, and by extension Israel. And I think that this point of view having a platform in the US right is going to have a profound impact on the MAGA movement.

          I don’t think he is genuine in anything. He somehow got “milder” in recent years but i still remember the hatemongering asshole on Fox, and the idiot who got got verbally raped by Putin for 2h straight. His shtick might have changed, but he hasn’t.

            I haven’t exactly followed him closely but I don’t think he’s mild at all. He has some really extreme views on citizenship, ethnicity, religion, abortion, gender and so on. He’s got a lot of weird clips talking about occultism and demons.

            He does however talk a lot about regretting being a shill for the Iraq war back in the day, and that he doesn’t want to repeat that mistake with Venezuela and Iran. I think that carries a lot of weight for lots of people.

            My point is not to try to whitewash Tucker Carlson, I’m just saying there’s a substantial difference between him and someone like Ben Shapiro.

              milder

              I’m guessing you don’t remember his constant presence until he got fired from Fox, of all places, for being too much of a shit-stirrer. He is putting on different clothes these days but he’s still the worst of the worst.

                I’m not an American so I’m not following FOX or any other American media that closely. But yes, I do remember him on FOX, and that he used a lot of extremely aggressive faces and language when talking about the liberals. I’m not sure if he’s actually changed his tactics, he just shifted targets.

    The fallout over Carlson’s interview with Fuentes, a Holocaust denier who has praised Adolf Hitler and leads the so-called “Groyper Army,” has caused fractures within the right-wing media universe over the future direction of the MAGA movement.

    They already killed Charlie Kirk, there’s a nonzero chance they try to kill Cucker too

    trump isn’t even trying to unify them, so all the factions are going to rip each other to pieces

    That’s always been trump’s management plan, without a clear power structure below him it’s hard for anyone else to replace him. But he’s not used to having people like this below, it’s not just corporate infighting and sabotaging projects you’re not involved in, these racists are killing each other for not being racist enough.

    I’ve been browsing /pol/ for a bit and nick fuentes is getting shilled hard there.

    There is always a thread up about him, even if it’s not popular. I strongly believe that someone on his team is being paid to make sure a thread is always up.

    I never watch his shit though because I don’t care and giving him our attention means he wins.
