You may not like it but he’s absolutely worth talking to.
You can be upset Tucker didn’t press him hard enough on certain issues. I would have liked to see him press him on his opposition to Trump during the general election or Chris Brunet’s allegations, for example.
But the idea that he “elevated” him or “platformed” him as if he wasn’t huge all on his own is silly.
The more he is treated as “the forbidden man,” the more appealing he is. The gatekeeping worked 30 years ago but it doesn’t any longer.
You are going to have to deal with him out in the open. Tucker did that.
If all the former NeverTrumpers currently losing their minds that Tucker interviewed him don’t want people to listen to Fuentes, they should actually follow Tucker’s lead.
Thought of the day, Nick is far less influential than believed. Many have noted his peak was about 2-3 years ago, that his average views are down substantially from bitchute to odyssey to rumble. That's not including his huge number of bot/groyper sock followers, which are at least half his viewership.
Fuentes just seems like a bit to me. I've watched very little of anything of his. Seems like it's just click baiting to get attention. The whole bad publicity is better than no publicity. Basically it's free advertising by stirring people up. No different than racism with the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
Make controversial comments publicly and you can make money off it. That really seems like his whole shtick. I really don't care what he says anyway whether true or false. Doesn't effect my day to day life. Hell, with AI now, who know if he even exists in person. He does look and sound like a tool though. Punchable face and awful/annoying voice. Similar to Ben Shapiro.
