Who?
Money. He gets dark money. >

It's 100% this.  Ben Shapiro, Dan Bongino, Jordan Peterson, Milo et al. did not organically build their platforms or audiences.  It was a bunch of dark fascist money buying Facebook views, advertising and algorithm manipulation. >

The idea that Milio did not organically build his platform is absurd. He is as close to a self made man as you get, including his admittedly abhorrent politics. >

If by "organically build his platform," do you mean this?:

The Kernel
In November 2011, Yiannopoulos co-founded The Kernel.[37] In March 2013, The Kernel was shut down amidst allegations of unpaid wages, at a time when Yiannopoulos was the Editor-in-Chief and sole director of the parent company, Sentinel Media.[12] It was reopened later that year under Kernel Media, with Yiannopoulos remaining Editor-in-Chief and having privately settled the previous debts.[37]

He also worked at Breitbart, yet another fascist-funded hate propaganda site posing as a news organization, which is where he got his first real platform. >

He started his own media company, ran it unethically, sold it to a bigger media company, and started writing for a different media company. That is consistent with what I said.
You said he was artificially propped up by billionaires, not that he was a scumbag who worked for far right publications. >

Did it occur to you that the Kernel might have had some silent investment partners, like most right wing media does (DailyWire, OANN, Federalist, etc.)?
But fine, before "founding" the Kernel amid a bunch of other scammy-looking enterprises with unknown financial backing, he worked for the Daily Telegraph, which was then-owned by the billionaire Barclay brothers, who are more reclusive (living on a private island as a tax dodge) than Rupert Murdoch but had the same politics and intent as Murdoch. >

You would have to provide evidence of it.
Nearly any major media outlet it owned by powerful people, working for a big newspaper is not evidence he is propped up by billionaires. >

Elon just let him back on twitter, too. >

He's off twitter again too, because he immediately went off praising Hitler. Almost like all these nazi-worshipping assholes are still nazi-worshipping assholes. >

I was honestly not expecting that to happen so quickly but good riddance. >

Well, if Nick's racist fantasies come true, how long does he think it'll take for the gestapo to come for people that have Mexican ancestry? >

Depends if they are mestizo.  I have encountered a fair amount of white supremacy amongst Euro-Mexicans >

Its still an ever-shrinking in-group. The purity tests for what constitutes whiteness gets ever more narrowly defined as the people at the top run out of people to other as a means of generating outrage.
And as that happens it will fracture. There's already portions of the white supremacist movement that don't consider Italians, Irish, Spanish, or anyone of Slavic descent to be true whites. They want Germanic, Northern European whiteness to be the only race that counts. >

Many white people don't understand that. I always try to explain that to my dad. "Dude, you're rich and retired. The top dog. But if that order gets rearranged you'll plummet down the totem pole. Because you're: 1) not rich compared to Trump donors; 2) are not a Republican party operative or a true loyalist (just a voter); and 3) aren't the right kind of Christian (Catholic convert, not evangelical, not even a regular Mass attender). At best you'll be a footsoldier just like any idiot with a truck. At worst you'll be unwelcome as the circle shrinks smaller and smaller and power is consolidated."
Many of these people need to reevaluate the status quo because their lives could get a LOT worse. >

Even if he may not, what about his family members who don't meet that purity test. What about the people that he cares about who may not? Is he comfortable watching those people go to what may be our version of Dachau or Auschwitz?
That's how I talk to my fashy family members about the implications of their support for the far right. >

I try to start with self-interest because that's what moves these voters. A lot of them are just gone. Sadly, I am pretty sure that if Trump's goons had me shot in the street my grandmother would say something like "I'm sure Trump had a good reason for it." >

Just like Jordan Peterson, he feeds a certain type of rhetoric directly into the mouths of emasculated, insecure incels as a means to weaponize their anger, frustration, and self-loathing. >

Fuentes parents sound like winners too. Wonder what Nick’s proud daddy thinks of his virgin incel son who has a thing for young men wearing cat ears. “Cat Boys” I believe theyre called. What does Lauren and Bill Fuentes think of that? Hmmm? >

And was given a huge assist from social media algorithms that promote hate.
It doesn’t take long to go from watching some innocent media/movie/music reviews to being pulled into a review culture that blames the decline of entertainment on the woke left. Then you watch some of that and before long you are being recommended the openly racist shit. Google. Facebook. Twitter. All have a hand in creating this hate machine that literally didn’t exist 20 years ago.
We had problems, but not these problems. >

Johan Hari's book Stolen Focus is a good introduction to how social media works including the hate and anger promoting algorithms. The anger is the point. More rage causes more time spent on the platform with the advertisements. The big companies don't care that stochastic terrorism is a predictable result of their programing choices and priorities. >

But... but... the GOP tells me only drag queens are groomers. >

And you should definitely believe what Lindsey Graham and Matt Gaetz want you to believe. >

Don’t forget Gym Jordan. >

I'm convinced Peter Thiel pays for all of this in the same way my aunt thinks George Soros paid scientists in Wuhan to drop a vial of a bioweapon into a box fan. >

It's pretty much confirmed this is true >

It's incredible that anyone could take this clown seriously >

Disgusting, but not really that incredible.  This is what happens in an anti-intellectual, fear mongering, puritanical nation that has continually cut education funding and social programs for decades. >

"having sex with women is gay" 
"the only really straight heterosexual position is to be an asexual incel" >

Can you give a TL;DR? >

No. It is important to know and recognize the indicators of fascism. Take the time. It is relevant. >

I just did. I guess it’s helpful if you have a your head in the sand and need a surface level review of obvious fascist tactics. >

Trust me, most of our fellow Americans, even those who would agree with us ideologically on such things, fit that description. >

Booger eater Nick Fuentes >

When are we going to  look past individual bad actors and address the alienation that makes so many people susceptible to this kind of thinking. >

likely never >

This guy literally T-Posed before his “followers” and then immediately went into a rant about how women shouldn’t vote and I can’t help but wonder if it’s one big joke or if he’s doing it for money. >

Fuentes is an example of someone that reads books they don’t understand unsupervised >

To my great shame, he went to the same high school as me (different year) and we grew up in the same community.  This is personally enraging to me and I’m not sure there’s anyone else on the planet I hate more.  It’s personal >

Heeeey motherjones. If you want to do your part in cutting off that path, perhaps cut out the "guy in the basement" trope from your article decrying this issue >

I am legitimately worried about this guy. His views are abhorrent, but he is unmistakably intelligent, charismatic, articulate, an excellent public speaker, and extremely motivated...he was working towards doing the shit laid out in this article before he even turned 20. 
It's scary to see right-wing extremism spread like this amongst younger voters. >

Oh crap. Hes hitler reincarnated. That's why he keeps posting about loving hitler. He's just sucking his own past self's dick >

A new generation of hate started when people began to idolize Eric Cartman of South Park. >

If you watch him you will see that he is a psychopath. charming,funny, jokey, just enough to get what he wants and win you over. Then he starts dropping in the few bits of racism and antisemitism with some humor. Then he eventually drops in bigger chunks of rage fueled rankings about how the government and Christianity should unite and become fascist. >

Well where else would a leader of basement dwellers come from ? These people always hid in the basement and dark corners. They only felt safe to come out when trump was president and started making brown pants a fashion statement and saying things like “build a wall” and “this is my America” seem patriotic. Forgetting America was built on people immigrating in the hopes to have the American dream of making something from nothing, coming to the land of opportunity. >

Scared little boy >

Such people not only taught the idea about hating black people, but just about everyone else who is not like them them. >

My dude isn’t white, he would be lined up just like the rest of them if his supremacist revolution occurs. >

And he’s not even white. >

He is white lol. Look at him. >

Hispanic is not white. >

Some Hispanics are white… a lot of them.
