To hell with Shapiro and Levin. We don’t tolerate censorship of anyone from anyone or any group.

Futens will say one normal thing, the clip will go viral he will gain viewers then he will say a hundred things as insane as "6 million Cookies"

Lot of people elevating Fuentes right now personally I can’t make heads or tails of his ideology, weird mish mash of personal beliefs and biases, the dude randomly also loves Stalin ?? He seems to really strike a chord with the disaffected, but he will drag down any political movement he’s a part of, this crap does not play well with the general voting public

When it came out that he had held hands with a girl in 8th-grade, his fanbase decried him as a fake incel. Fuentes responds by declaring proudly that he is in fact a 'true incel', that he is literally revoulted by the idea of 'human touch', and that his critics would say 'Hitler wasn't a true incel', and that all he wants 'is revenge for his people and an Aryan victory'.
You can watch him say it, right here https://x.com/RightWingWatch/status/1490738194974920710.
He is literally like a pre-pubescent 10 year old who swallowed Mein Kampf.

I must confess, I sorta stopped listening after above. But sure, it's not impossible.
I just think broadly speaking, he's probably right less often than somebody who doesn't spew that garbage, Ben Shapiro, of all people, being one of them. Unironically, if you watch the video he kinda comes across as unhinged.
I'm not sure what place he has in the libertarian subreddit either, because he is blatantly statist. Nothing against that necessarily, but I don't think it's deniable that he is.

I don't like Nick but I think people blow the loving Stalin part out of proportion. He still thinks Stalin is damned. He just sees him as a remarkable person in terms of achievements in the same way people see Napoleon or Caesar as remarkable despite both having done more harm than good. Nick also sees Netanyahu in a similar way and he hates that guy too.

Fluentes is a shock jock of social media.

Gets purposefully engaged in melodrama and says things constantly with the specific purpose of offending people.

That is how he makes his living. It really doesn't matter to him what he says provided what he says gets him attention. That is how being a celebrity works. To be successful you need to attract and keep people's attention.

A like a lot of shock jocks he is narcissistic and will burn his friends and followers if it helps him to get ahead or avoid any accountability.

He gets promoted by political hacks on "both sides" because it is useful to paint right-wingers as racist, hateful, and chaotic.

One of the more useful ways to silence people on the right-wing is to insert a agent provocateur into the midst of a rally or political discussion and have them start yelling "What about the Jews?" or "Hitler was right!". This has been a technique that has been successfully used since the 1940s against anybody who opposed USA foreign/war policy. It works so they keep on doing it.

People like "Fuentes" is just a freebee. He does it on his own accord so promoting him makes it look all the more authentic.

He’s a weird little fucker. Goofy opinions on some stuff. And apparently had sex with destiny. But I don’t think anyone’s opinions should be censored. How else are we going to know who the “dangerous” people are if we refuses to let them prove what they are?

Ben explicitly said he does not support censorship, even for Fuentes and Tucker. He just said they should be called out for the stuff they’re saying

Fuentes wants to ban all but white christian males from participation in govt and voting. Is there a stronger form of censorship than that?!

Sure, he was criticized by Levin and Shapiro, and he claims they leaked to Media Matters, but he has no evidence. Fuentes also deleted all of his old tweets, so we have little knowledge as to what Fuentes tweets they were even responding. Shapiro and Levin are not responsible for stupid platforms banning him, they banned everyone back then for anything, and Shapiro consistently lobbied for his reinstatement back to Twitter.
