All along, Fuentes has been a hard-nosed imperialist. His critique of the neocons was that they were idealistic, committed to a lofty world-shaping project, rather than remaining focused on raw power. He instinctually supported Trump’s attack on Venezuela today,

It was great to talk with @danaelkurd.bsky.social on It Could Happen Here about rising MAGA antisemitism, conspiracy theories and white Christian nationalism; where Israel fits in; and how our progressive Palestine solidarity politics can avoid allying with the Right
I spoke with @benlorber8.bsky.social on antisemitism, the antizionist right wing, and how we can understand this moment.

Don’t bow to random Jews you pass on the street, people, just don’t

For two centuries Western elites have weaponized public displays of sympathy for different minority groups in the Middle East as proxies for inter-elite conflicts & agendas. Look up how Tucker & friends were talking about Iraqi women & Christians in 2003. Don’t be fooled

In 2021 I spotted Gen-Z MAGA influencer Lance Johnston on a livestream at Nick Fuentes’ annual groyper conference, held outside the TPUSA summit. He covered his face, not wanting to be seen with the other groypers on camera. This week Johnston joined the Pentagon press corps

Antisemitic conspiracy theories thrive in the exploitative & unequal system that produces a billionaire class in the first place. Leading ‘anti-antisemitism’ orgs are laughably ignorant of this basic reality & think posts like this help, when they only make it worse

In Jewish imaginaries throughout history, the Temple Mount is a focal point for peace & universal blessing. But here, framing the union of Christian Zionism, US empire & the weapons industry, this painting eerily evokes an End Times vision of war

Interesting assertion from Bari Weiss’s The Free Press. I’m sure they apply it consistently around the world, right?

The Jewish Right sure has chosen an interesting time to fixate so heavily on Peter Beinart and the specter of the scary, inhospitable Left. How’s your coalition holding up over there, may we ask? Feeling confident about your choice of movement partners these days?

Tucker Carlson is Nick Fuentes’ biggest interview to date, but it looks like Piers Morgan will be a close second. And while Tucker has a more concentrated MAGA base, Morgans’ will be more culturally diffused & global

Mike Huckabee just visited a church in Jerusalem whose unambiguous purpose is to convert Israeli Jews to belief in Jesus in order to bring the End Times. Here's a sermon on this from church leader Rick Ridings in Nov 2023, preached from where Huckabee just stood 👇
