How long has Nick Fuentes been a recognizable name on the interwebs? I've still yet to watch a single piece of content from him. I still hear his name everywhere as if he's relevant. And I still see people associating him with certain ideologies.

But I haven't verified this, and even the people I usually trust in such matters haven't said much, if anything, about him. I can't even tell if it's worth wasting time to check for myself what kind of narratives he spreads, so as to ascertain if he is indeed a "big baddy".

But if he really is what people claim he is, I don't want my Youtube/internet history polluted with that crap.

I keep hoping he'll fade into irrelevance so people stop saying his name, and I stop feeling weird about saying: "I haven't checked him out, I have no idea if he is what you say he is, and I'm not gonna blindly believe you".

@alyx I hadn’t heard his name until today. Had to look him up.

See, this is what I mean. The guy is probably irrelevant, but every once in a while the name will pop-up somewhere, and considering the serious accusations against him, not actually knowing where I stand regarding him is annoying for me.

@alyx @Sum_ID You don't need to have an opinion about what people talk about on social media.

Nick Fuentes was a Youtuber streamer half-playing the role of a political pundit who got banned from Youtube after years there, now he probably streams from some obscure platform or his own website. I have not watched him for years, I used to watch him sometimes because he was funny and would mock his own audience when they made him angry. Anyone making "serious accusations" like this person is a threat to society is more of the same from the psychos who hate freedom of expression, even from unemployed disenfranchised young people streaming their opinions from a basement.

This is what I guessed might be the case, but I keep having doubts, cause even a broken clock is right every once in a while. You never know when they finally discover a real neo-nazi or whatever.

@alyx @deadheat I see it this way.
Left: all right are nazis
Right: all left are commies
