-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Lmao no fucking way. If this schism is real I might as well try to understand the difference between these grifters. What exactly makes Nick Fuentes different from Kirk? How much worse is he than Cucker Tarlson and Asmongolf?
It's entirely that Fuentes is an old school openly antisemitic nazi who only cynically opposes
because he actually hates Jews even though he also hates Arabs and Muslims while Kirk was the more mainstream evangelical zionist form of fascism
Yeah this is the main thing for sure
There's also some amount of like Kirk being viewed as the institutionalist to some degree. That sounds insane, but just saying. Kirk was all onboard team-Republican whatever that message might be. Fuentes seeks a much more, I dunno what word to use, "extremist" I guess, direction for the American right. He's basically all in on just doing genocides with no apologies or hiding it. He's an open white nationalist. He literally said Kirk didn't support white people (this was prior to Kirk's death) presumably because of support for Israel which of course they view as Jewish and "not white."
Truly Hitlerian stuff. Which again sounds insane considering Kirk was very Hitlerian. Not Hitlerian enough though for some Hitlerians. American politics in a nutshell. Fundamentalist Hitlerians vs The Hitler Reformation movement. Or something.
Well yes. He was the front man of a substantial political fundraising and propaganda apparatus. That's institutional by definition. By comparison, Fuentes is just an influencer. Kirk's political line was determined by what gets evangelical crackers to open their wallets for Republican political campaigns (There are limits here. Your job is to sell ethno-religious strife as an alternative to any materially beneficial policy, but you're not supposed to wear your Grand Wizard robe to the rally). Fuentes's political line is determined by what creates the most controversy possible for the sole purpose of promoting himself.
