Lots here. This kind of summarizes the post.

Nick Fuentes is not the most intelligent figure in American politics. He is not the most influential. He is not the most original. But he may be one of the most revealing.

He exposes the fragility of conservative spaces that flirted with extremism and now find themselves unable to quarantine it. He exposes the opportunism of platforms that prefer explosive bigotry to boring decency. He exposes a media ecosystem so enamoured with disruption that it legitimises malevolence as “interesting politics.”

And he exposes a terrifying truth about radicalisation in the digital age: That a lie, if repeated with enough binary violence and algorithmic assistance, can eventually pretend to be a movement.

Fuentes’ anti-Indian hostility, his open contempt for Hindus, his selected admiration for Islamist authoritarianism, his willingness to inflate relevance through digital fraud, and his conscious attempt to fracture conservative communities by injecting racial hatred, all of this is part of one project. If society treats this merely as another loud boy screaming into a microphone, it will misjudge the scale of the threat. Because this is not about noise. It is about precedent. Once it becomes normal to hate Indians loudly, it will become easier to hate everyone else. That is how hatred works. It never ends where it begins.
