    Are you suggesting Nick Fuentes profits off this post? Honestly, I don’t know where people like Nick get their money, but it’s not from me and it’s not from this post.

    It seems to me multiple groups in the Republican party, and the de facto leader of the party are the ones promoting him.

      Shit stain says clown shit

      Internet mocks it

      So someone invites him to speak and pays him decent money for this vomit.

      Y’all get on here and generate engagement by decrying him and saying how outraged you are, how bad he is.

      He gets bigger gig for more money

      Repeat.

      He is on Joe Rogan…

      now he is a household name with patron donations from other degenerates and speaking fees

      This business model has been around for a while but Jordan Peterson really showed every one how to do it properly.

      And yet, people still falling it for it.

      “TaTe Iz RaPisT” maybe so but that’s a criminal matter, y’all constantly clicking on articles with his name is generating him support and revenue. Fucking STOP.

          How about you summarize the point you are trying tot make so every one can understand what you are saying instead of assigning homework to online strangers while likely promoting somebody’s “influencer” career

            That’s fair-- I take the same stance usually-- I really should have just done that from the get go, huh?

            Your response above-- the one I replied to, is also a “win state” for bigots. They win when you ignore them, and when you give them attention. The video goes on to point out that framing the scenario like you are, where the battlefield is a war over attention, that minorities are being treated as tools or pieces on a board, and both sides are engaging in bigotry.

            My summary sucks, but maybe it’s enough to get you to take a look?

              How’s clicking on articles about a bigot and showing your outrage on social media actually combat the bad actor?

              I am all about improving the tactics but I don’t see this one as viable? What is the advice?

                I can’t watch the video for you, friend. If you’re curious, watch it. If you’re not, then don’t.

                  Sounds like you are more interested in promoting the video than engaging in discussion at hand tbh

                    I don’t see any reason why I should transcribe a video for you, when it’s freely available to watch at your leisure. I find the video series insightful when it comes to understanding and combatting bigotry and those that champion it-- and for sure, you may not. I only wanted to bring it to your attention because it directly applies to the discussion, and assuming your end goal is combatting bigotry, you might be interested in knowing that the way you’re going about it isn’t likely to work.

                    the video provides context for the conversation. if you’re not interested in doing the work in order to participate, fine, but demanding that they transcribe possibly thousands of words just because you refuse to watch the video isn’t reasonable.

        Well I’m here to say f*** Nick Fuentes and f*** anybody who hosts him.

        Why don’t you be the change you want to see in this world, and stop contributing to this post.

          I am educating the public on the topic of negative publicity and how participating in it does opposite of the intended effect.

            hate clicks are still clicks. provocateurs like this feed off of negative attention, and their audience loves “liberal rage”. their whole purpose is to gain the attention of the mainstream right-wing media - which they always do - which mainstreams their message. and it works.
