@span davidgerard Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. These guys all think this is some kind of pro wrestling spectacle or high school cattiness when they go after each other, but their fanbases are gun nuts who believe that bullets solve problems

If you have a cult following that thinks bullets solve problems, how do you think they're going to react when you keep telling them someone is a problem? They're going to pick up the tool they have for problem solving and shoot the guy eventually

@span davidgerard wait! Nick Fuentes been calling for full armed uprising since Charlottesville, but now that he’s cosplaying being the #MAGA Jimmy Fallon, he’s telling them «oopsie! i didn’t mean it»?

who is paying him to be the MAGA Jimmy Fallon?

@span davidgerard lolwhut "When I warned my followers to prepare for RAHOWA against ZOG I only meant it in a metaphorical sense"
This guy is not just a total racist ethnonationalist creep, he's a total racist ethnonationalist creep that crumples like a kleenex at the first signs of danger - to himself, anyway.

@span davidgerard he's saying this today, knowing full well it will get press, as it very obviously is, so that when he goes back to his normal violent rhetoric he can point to this press and say "but I don't advocate for violence!".

I read it a little differently: I think he's panicking that the fascist movement is going to see him as problem and turn on him, and this means that the notoriously awful fanbase Fuentes has cultivated are a problem for him twice over.

On the one hand if next week one of his fans kills Ben Shapiro, then Fuentes will face trouble from above; if next week Fuentes changes his tune and stops denouncing other fascists as "globalists", his own fans will probably start seeing him as a sellout and then he might face trouble from below.

So he's doing the only thing he can: trying to both rein in his fans and also preemptively distance himself from them.
