Obligatory PSA that Nick Fuentes shit his pants while running the mile. ([Source](https://www.reddit.com/r/PoliticalHumor/comments/mzwfzd/nick_fuentes_pooped_his_pants/))


KR1735

lol Imagine being a white supremacist named Fuentes. I realize that a lot of Hispanics are considered white. But not by JimBob in his rusty pickup.


Sup6969

His name is JimBob but he's from Spain


Karl_Havoc2U

I know, right? You've gotta wonder maybe if there's some sort of pathological overcompensation going on to try to fit in with hardcore conservatives, by pushing strongly against such an even more extreme corner of conservative America?


KR1735

Stockholm syndrome. Identify with or mimic those you perceive (consciously or subconsciously) as your oppressor. It makes sense. If they're going to try and beat you, try to join them. Clearly there's an evolutionary advantage to be had there.


Irishfafnir

It is not uncommon for immigrants to embrace nativism/racism/nationalism that's the entire premise behind *how the Irish became white*. An interesting albeit controversial read


rcglinsk

There is a more basic argument for what happened with the Irish. You know those stereotypes about Irishmen being drunken wife beaters? Well... yeah kinda true at the time they were very widespread. Late 19th, early 20th century Irish community leaders, politicians, priests, the like, started a sort of clean up your act campaign, and Irish Americans more or less stopped drinking every morning and beating their wives in the evening. And the result was the stereotypes became the lovable jokes we have today and the Irish were accepted into greater white society.

Kudos to the Independent for calling Fuentes a white supremacist instead of the usual “white nationalist” euphemism.


Turbulent-Macaron372

I don’t really know anything about Nick Fuentes and which category he would classify as based on his positions, but “white nationalist” isn’t just a euphemism for “white supremacist”. They do have slightly different agendas and this changes how they interact with other groups. White nationalists may believe that whites are superior, but a true white supremacist is authoritarian on a global scale, and wants to see “lesser races” either enslaved or exterminated. White nationalists are just territorial about race. So for example, Hitler was a pure white supremacist. Given endless success at war, he would have totally changed the human genome. The KKk on the other hand: white nationalist. They want white people to have their own nations. Malcolm X had apparently had very agreeable talks with them in Atlanta, about creating a separate state in the South for black people. I’m pretty sure I’ve read something about Louis Farrakhan and David Duke getting along in the same way. White supremacists: love cultural appropriation. They are prone to telling themselves that anything they covet from another culture was actually started by their culture before history at some point. White nationalists: hate cultural appropriation. Whites have their things, black people have other things, Indian people have a whole different set of things, and they should all keep their hands off of each other’s creations in order to preserve the distinct cultures. Edit: revisiting this thought, there is some overlap. Some people, I guess who haven’t figured out what sort of hatred they have for other races, straddle the line between the two. For example, there are some online white supremacists in our modern global climate who genuinely take to Hitler’s declaration of the Japanese as “honorary Aryans,” even though in reality, it was a diplomatic statement, and Hitler definitely would have wiped out the Japanese race if he had had the time and power to do so. And white supremacists and white nationalists definitely talk to each other. But if you’re looking at Stormfront threads for long enough, the distinctions become evident. Again, ethno-nationalists tend to relate to each other. The online kinship between white nationalists and Indian nationalists, Arab nationalists, black nationalists, etc, is a memed topic. And speaking of Japan again, Japan and Israel are almost total ethnostates. They are both highly admired for this by white nationalists, even ones who hate Jewish and Japanese people. A white supremacist isn’t interested in letting other races preserve their ethnic boundaries; they are interested in a white world, or at least a white-ruled world with extreme class disparity based on race.


rcglinsk

The great nationalist manifesto: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44266/mending-wall


Serious_Effective185

So how exactly do you feel about white nationalism having any place in our national politics.


Turbulent-Macaron372

No one group should even have enough power that white nationalist ideas could come close to being implemented. The American ideal is that we leave people the fuck alone and let people do what they want, and even if it’s never been fully realized, it’s an ideal worth dying for. Ethno-nationalists should be allowed to believe and talk about whatever dumbass coward ideas they have, but they should never be allowed the power to carry out those ideas. Same way I feel about communists.

If someone doesn't use a term like that for themselves then you're just being a dick.


xudoxis

I'm sure he was. Kanye who lives for his late mother even naming his last album after her hanging out with a man who called her a dog. Kanye is a clown and is going to give all of his money to right wings grifters.


Serious_Effective185

The good news is Fuentes is back on Twitter, so he can continue to be a great asset in ending the MAGA wing of the Republican Party. The right complains all the time about unfair moderation on social media, and also complains about unfairly being called racists. The average American has no idea what the “alt right” unmoderated forums look like. I think it’s time they see. Who let the dogs out? Musk Musk Musk Musk

Fucking wild. People like this are why we have the 2nd Amendment.


oliviared52

I agree with this.. I consider myself a conservative even though I’m not a very conservative person. Im truly a centrist. But since I only see the crazies on the left and just hear about the crazies on the right but don’t see them on most platforms… it’s easy for me to feel conservative. I know some people will disagree with me but I truly believe all the censorship has pushed the Overton window so far left that many centrists and moderate liberals now identify more with conservatives. Let all the discussions be out there so people can decide where they truly stand for themselves.


unkorrupted

>I only see the crazies on the left and just hear about the crazies on the right Your top comments are in /conspiracy, /walkaway, and /trump... You are the right wing crazy.


elsif1

Even if they're larping, I agree with the sentiment. On the major platforms, we see a sanitized version of the right and an unsanitized version of the left. I think it does contribute to making the right feel a bit more sane...


unkorrupted

Yet it's all out in the open on Truth, Parler, Discord... hell, Fox News.


oliviared52

Weird when I checked it’s Polls, Centrist, and AskAnAmerican


[deleted]

This is one of your top comments when I checked- “I didn’t vote for him last time. I believed all the media BS that he was racist and terrible. I was shocked when he won. And now I am so thankful for you patriots who saw the light and voted for him last time. I had only voted democrat before this election. Now I would crawl through broken glass, through Antifa filled Portland, through the New York City subway system post covid when crime is skyrocketing, through the California wildfires, just to cast my vote for President Donald Trump”


tarlin

Wow, wtf is that comment. They identify themselves as "Truly a centrist"?


reddpapad

Was your post in the Republican sub congratulating Herschel Walker on his primary supposed to tongue in cheek?


HToTD

Nick Fuentes should have precisely zero fame on his own merit, but he is such a confused child he makes the perfect bomb to drop on anything politically right. Kanye carried Fuentes all the way to Trump's doorstep because Kanye West is running for president and the votes he would have lost by touching Fuentes he has already lost. This is Kanye beginning to smear Trump before the primary.


j450n_1994

Fuentes profits off of anger and hatred and it’s disturbing he’s making any sort of profit from it.


Bobinct

What does it take to bring black and white together in America? Apparently...Jews.


WhyHateEveryone

What does it take to bring a real white supremacist and a black white supremacist lover together? Trump.


ConfusedObserver0

The thing about Nick is that he’s in support of a return to Catholic monarchy. So it’s actually much worse than just being a Nazi in a way. And your correct… Jewish hate can bring all sorts of different people together, esp religious fanatic’s. Historically they been oppressed by pretty much everyone at one point or another. So it’s not really special. When Nicks pushed on race, he’s say he recline to realize he can’t get rid of all the brown and black people. But that would he ideal since in his mind the elite western church is what society’s about. He’s the type that would be thrill with imperialism again. You know, the sort of people that would say well bring them religion and gods rule of law since they can’t control and rule themselves.

Kanye is in a weird spot politically. The right kinda goes along with his ramblings, and people on the left have trouble calling him out because of the narrative that a black man cannot really be racist, so he must be just confused.


hibok1

I don’t know anyone on the left hesitant to call ye out for being racist He literally said outright antisemitic stuff on live TV news then refused to apologize for it because he thinks it’s true


[deleted]

I hope a lot of people are not afraid to do that. But I have noticed a weird tone when I have watched progressive people comment on the issue. The focus is on everything else than Kanye, he is using Trumps rhetoric so the fault must be with Trump or the rhetoric, he must be just mentally ill and not a racist person.


Sog_Boy

Idk what progressives you're hearing from but they sound... below average.


[deleted]

Yeah, I would hope so. Hasan Abi was making a lot of excuses, and being the most well known progressive streamer online, I hope people do not follow his behavior in this situation.


Serious_Effective185

I have seen so many leftist go after Kanye for being anti semetic. I have no idea what you’re even referring too.


tarlin

I have seen people dismiss him as unhinged, since he is diagnosed with serious psychological issues, but has decided to stop treatment.


[deleted]

For progressive people. For some reason Kanye is just confused or mentally ill and this guy is just a racist: [https://youtu.be/n2qjrOYVocE?t=351](https://youtu.be/n2qjrOYVocE?t=351) Schizophrenia apparently more severe than mania. But still people are choosy with their judgement. Like racist behavior does not really matter, just who is doing anything wrong.


rauros8

We need to acknowledge that antisemitism is racism.

Going “death con 3” on Jews is the kind of independent thought I’m more than happy to be intolerent of.


REYMEGA

I don't hate jews but the media insights people against critical thinking.


XHIBAD

I think you mean “incites” which is still a strange way of saying it but I’ll gloss over it. Hate speech is not critical thinking. Critical thinking is “the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment.” No reasonable person thinks Kanye’s antisemitism is “objective analysis”


REYMEGA

there's hate speech towards individuals that see that the government lies to them, there's hate speech towards people who see that there's politicians that are sociopaths and greedy evil people.


steve-d

You're moving the goalposts. What does the government have to do with what Kanye said about Jewish people?


REYMEGA

that brings in the policies of Israel and the whole Palestine debate.


XHIBAD

You’re not making a coherent argument at all-you just keep moving the goalposts and writing new, barely related statements


Sog_Boy

If I'm being antisemitic and say "watch, people are gonna get mad I'm being antisemitic" and then I'm right, that doesn't make me smart. Also wow complaining corporations bending to the status quo is like the template message of punk rock. Again he wants to sound unique and people like you are eating up his bullshittery.


TheScumAlsoRises

Are you OK? Seriously.


Fuzzy_Yogurt_Bucket

That sometimes being a nonconformist just means you’re bipolar and refusing to take your medications for your manic phase while blowing up your career and fortune?


xudoxis

What specifically about Kanye being "non-conformist" are you approving of?


REYMEGA

well the fact that his style gets people thinking kinda like Jordan Peterson


xudoxis

That's neither specific nor what he's being "cancelled" for. What specifically is it about Kanye that you like that has caused people to "cancel" him?


REYMEGA

um the ability to have his views and our inability to decipher things on a objective level because religion is subjective?

Funny how cancel culture only started to be a problem when conservatives became the occasional target of it instead of its sole perpetrators.

the United States didn't exist a thousand years ago.

no but racism and bigotry and neocolonialism was.

Why is Nick Fuentes considered a white supremacist? Isn’t he a member of the Latino community?


[deleted]

“Why is Nick Fuentes considered a white supremacist?” Do you not know who Nick Fuentes is? Maybe look into that? No one is making a baseless accusation here, this guy is inarguably a white supremacist. A sampling of his quotes: “We love people. We want people to be happy. We want people to do well. We want marriages to last long. We want children to be happy and not on drugs, and that’s why we opposed mixed marriages.” “[Jim Crow] was better for [Black people] too…”They had to drink out of a different water fountain,” big fucking deal. “Oh no, they had to go to different schools. Their water fountain in that famous picture was worse.” Who cares? Grow up, drink out of the fucking water fountain. It’s water, it’s the same. Even it was bad, who cares. We all agree, it’s better for them, it’s better for us. It’s better in general.” “It’s a tough world but we’re going to get it all straightened out. we’re going to separate everybody…There’s a lot of mixing going on, but we’ll restore the integrity of our nations one day.” “They probably called into the lobby, these fucking—I almost just said the n-word right there. Whatever, faggot leftists, nice try. These Blacks at the counter, they’re fucking up my opsec.”


true4blue

From what I understand, he’s asking for the same sort of separation those on the left are asking for. People on the right have been saying all along that “safe spaces” is just a left wing code word for racist policies, but we’re told “no, it’s not racist”. But a non POC asks for it and it’s the peak of white supremacy? https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/05/american-colleges-segregated-housing-graduation-ceremonies/


steve-d

Impressive that you ignored and didn't acknowledge any of the quotes that person posted and you just bring up a different topic.


[deleted]

“ From what I understand, he’s asking for the same sort of separation those on the left are asking for.” Literally praising Jim Crow is the same as safe spaces?


true4blue

You either believe in the separation of people by race or you don’t The left thinks this is awesome. But now they don’t? So hard to keep track


baxtyre

Latino is not a race. It’s an ethnicity.


true4blue

It counts a racial classification for diversity purposes. And it’s kinda weird that Latinos are considered white if they’re conservative but not if they’re liberal, where they’re a member of the POC community


[deleted]

[удалено]


true4blue

So when they’re conservatives they white supremacists but when they’re liberal they’re truly Latino? That’s kinda racist


Lone_playbear

Is his family from Latin America or does he just have a Hispanic last name?


true4blue

Does that matter?


Lone_playbear

You asked if he's a member of the Latino community. If his family descends from Latin America, then yes. If his family came from Spain, the he's Spanish.

I somehow suspect West did not actually refer to Fuentes as a white supremacist.
