Disturbing Groyper War Video

Saw this video posted on some internet spaces.
I don't know how much of this is AI- Don't know if this is actually Fuentes' voice. The person that made the video is clearly a follower of Fuentes though. Although somewhere in fine print it says parody. I am sure it is meant to draw in more " forgotten young men" .

This is their info on Youtube.

Description
I make memes and edits for the America First cause ( America First) is how Fuentes describes his movement.

The thing is, we are dealing with a very young guy. We don't know the extent to which he was an "insider" in the worlds described the Vanity Fair article (link below), but one way or another, whatever world he was immersed in (or constructed in his own head), what he did tells us it was a terrible and strange land -- very likely a place where communication is "coded" in layers. A world where the insiders (even if an insider of one) revel in how clueless the "outsiders" who will "never get it" are.

And the truth is, we probably will never "get it."

I for one will encourage others to refrain from jumping to any conclusions and will be keeping an eye on any further observations Elle Reeve may have.

Her key areas of expertise:

Right-wing extremism and white nationalism: Reeve is known for her in-depth coverage of these movements, including her work at the 2017 Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally and the January 6th Capitol attack.

Social media's impact on extremism: Her expertise includes understanding how online platforms contribute to the rise of radical movements.

Documentary filmmaking: She produced the documentary Right Now, which explores the rise of the American alt-right.

Investigative reporting: Her career includes roles as a senior editor at The New Republic and politics editor at The Wire, highlighting her investigative journalism skills.

It is about The Groypers. The Groyper/ America First Movement is a real thing. I understand some people are just becoming aware of them but they have been around for quite a while and have been vocal about their disdain for MAGA.
Just in case there was some misunderstanding, In no way am I saying that this video was made by Kirk's killer.

I did understand it was just a video about Fuentes "army." With so many arguing the shooter was Groyper-motivated I did connect it in my head with that sort of perspective. Apologies.
