Yep. I was worried this was coming years ago, and here we are. The next generation of young men both here in the US and abroad will have a large proportion of fascists.
Fighting this ideology is more important than fighting Trump or any individual authoritarian on its own. Encourage empathy and community wherever you are, especially among young children. Strongly condemn fascism wherever you are able. And shame Nick Fuentes and his ilk relentlessly. Let them never sleep.

This is like paper straws…
Sure it’ll help.
But the real problem is ~30 years ago No Child Left Behind strip everything that wasn’t STEM out of public schools and focused on standardized testing.
Schools are what are supposed to socialize the next generation into well adjusted adults. But we’ve stopped doing that for so long people can’t even connect that to why there’s “suddenly” a bunch of angry young adults who can’t do critical thinking or empathize with others…
Just like ke climate change there’s no switch to flip and fix it immediately. Prior generations took a long time off, and it’ll take a long time to fix.
I relate to this way too much. Spot on
Hmmm.
My thoughts are that once Trump picks a fight in some backwater country and starts a war and hits these same angry young men with a draft, you’ll likely see a lot of them changing their tune.
School is one thing, but the culture of the last 30 years has been decidedly tilted towards being cautious and wary of risk.
Right now, they think it’s cool to be tough and callous about life and since most of the men that actually fought fascism are now dead, this is when generational amnesia takes over. It was inevitable we’d swing in this direction.
How far it goes before the hot young things see the actual costs of this political viewpoint - and start paying it themselves, is the question of the day…
Kirk Nick
That’s just until they figure out he is into dudes.
Also rumored to have been with Destiny.
Every time I read this comment, I misremember him as the dude who unintentionally jacked it to gay porn on stream. What’d Fuentes do again?
Groypers. He did groypers.
Ugh, I can’t even internally categorize them as gay. They’re genuinely rapacious sexual deviant terrorists.
They don’t call it gay either. But it is. And that’s (sexuality) fine, just reckon with it.
They need a fresher since Chuck ate one for the team.
