What would y’all say is the “weakest link” of the right? (hexbear.net)

Right now in the culture war, the right’s stronger than ever. It feels like an inverse of 2009 when Obama got in and the YouTube atheist movement was at its peak. Then before you know it, the whole anti-SJW craze and then gamergate happened.

The right started with dunking on “tumblr feminists” and it arguably started with TJ Kirk’s video criticizing them. Of course this led to gamergate which led to the present day: the new “good ol’ days”.

What is the right’s equivalent of “tumblr feminists”, people you can criticize with less pushback and with enough smart-alecky framing, come out on top?

Incels. Despite being the target demographic for recruitment, nobody fucking likes them. It's an insult even by people of the right, after all.

Yeah I could see some potential friction from the groyper incel youth wing of republican fascism clashing with the boomer's who had parents that fought the nazis.
