Even in leftists spaces this guy’s qualities are outsized and graded on some ridiculous curve. Literally just saw a video of him speaking about race essentialism and I’m honestly rethinking whether I’m living on the same planet with even people I call conrades

Just because he’s tapped into the sentiments of libs doesn’t make him charismatic

What leftist spaces are you seeing this in?

came to ask the same question. none of the leftists i would associate would ever imply this dude is anything other than a wormy little shit

Go to threads about him on r_true_anon for example and there’ll be discussions about how scary he is because he’s ‘witty’ and so in tune with young Americans.

I think you are confused. Saying that Nick Fuentes is good at trickery is not a compliment. It is a warning of danger. If you ignore the warning of danger, then you are the one that will be victim.

Nick Fuentes is not someone that can be ignored. Trump defended Tucker Carlson for interviewing Nick Fuentes just 4 days ago. Nick Fuentes met with Trump at Mar-A-Lago in 2022. Marjorie Taylor Greene promoted Nick Fuentes on The View just last week,

Charlie Kirk was Nick Fuentes's main opponent. Nick Fuentes has been using the opportunity of Charlie Kirk's death to take Kirk's place in the media. He's been increasingly appearing in main stream media. He is very rapidly gaining momentum amongst the Right Wing.

One can be wary of the rhetoric Fuentes pushes without making him out to be some clever operator.

He’s a dweeb selling opium to a very willing populace, there is nothing impressive about him. Read the comment about this resembling the way libs make Hitler out to be some magical sorcerer. You can trot out a child and get the same following

r/true_anon is flooded with liberals ever since r/the_deprogram got banned, plus the standard left-curious liberal phenomenon that happens every time the GOP is in power. If you're seeing positive things about him that aren't just as u/dead described, you're almost certainly seeing confused theoryless liberals.
