The postliberals are the ones with the money and the backing of the White House now. These statements strike me more as an older generation venting their frustrations in what’s more of less a losing battle for them right now.

It’s genuinely really wild to me that I periodically come across videos featuring this guy in my normie jiu jitsu Instagram follows, and yet all he seems to do now is interview white nationalists and neo-Nazis and tweet like this.

ladies and gentlemen, Bill Kristol is now arguing for a massive wealth redistribution because he sees the current capitalist system as heading toward social chaos
“The current state of American capitalism isn’t sustainable. It doesn’t deserve to be sustained. And the best way to avoid an American version of “eat the rich” is to fix the current “let them eat cake” distortion of capitalism into which we’ve fallen.”

I’ve been trying to say this for a while, but I feel like no one is really listening to me who’s obsessively focused on the “groyper problem” at the expense of everything else. The issue with unhinged far-right streamers goes beyond Fuentes and the groypers. Things have been cooked for years.
There’s no daylight between what Candace says here about “the Jews” & what Nazi propagandists & Father Coughlin said about the Jews in the 1930s. Her show is one of the top 5 “conservative” podcasts in the US. She has 5.5 million subscribers on YouTube and 7.3 million followers on X.

They've been covering it for sure, although more confrontationally than analytically or genealogically (which makes sense--Fuentes is their direct platform competition). I think the best work on this stuff is done by researchers like @hannahgais.bsky.social, who aren't beholden to streaming algos

This is a good point. (No snark.) I'm sure this SCOTUS sneers at Trump in private, but the conservative majority is trying to bank power for a better version of a right-winger.
They don’t want Trump to have as much power as possible. They want some future Federalist Society/Opus Dei-approved President to have as much power as possible. They’re willing to hold their nose and give it to Trump as a means to that end.
