Piers Morgan normalizing white nationalism by platforming one of the most infamous white supremacists in the media right now is downright despicable, but not at all surprising coming from a hack like him.

    Gaza is starving.

    The UN has declared that every part of Gaza is in famine conditions. While some aid is finally trickling in, the need is beyond urgent. Aid organizations will not be able to keep pace with Gaza's needs without our support.

    Please donate if you’re able, and keep speaking up. Every dollar, share, and conversation matters. Please pressure your government to stop the blockade of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

    Donate here to The Palestinian Red Crescent and UNICEF for Gaza's Children. Contact your representatives to stop the blockade in Gaza, find U.S. representatives here, and EU reps here. If you would like other subreddits to carry this message, please send the mods to r/RedditForHumanity.

    The fact Piers Morgan got Fuentes to admit he was a virgin was the only good thing about this bullshit.

    Especially after Nick said people should check his DM's. Then he said well not all the chicks in them are hot.

    Who’s Pearl?

    I don't even know her full name, but Pearl this redhead white woman who isn't even ugly but pretty much the face of all right wing pick mes. She spews anti-feminist/anti-women shit clearly trying to appeal to men/Nick Fuentes esque kind of men.

    She went viral earlier this or last year because Pearl has no idea how to argue or defend her views and constantly gets owned. A lot of conservative men even came out and said they didn't like Pearl because she's too tall for them, too plain, and too aggressive by their standards.

    I kinda doubt he is a “virgin” given his loudly rumored love of nazi catboys and his statements on women (being attracted to women* is the real gay, etc)…

    Was that the first time that was revealed? I'm not surprised at all, but of course the king of incels is a virgin.

    Regardless of his size, he wouldn't know how to please anyone. I don't even think he knows how to please himself. Maybe he should invest in some toys.

    I listened to the whole thing. What stood out to me was how often Piers seemed to be put on his back foot. Piers normally has no problem facing off against high paid think tank homunculi but for some reason he allowed Nick to make him sound like a bumbling old man.

    Generational mismatch, Nick is fast and highly sensitive to power points to push, because hes a digital native, the speed of courtesy is Piers speed, while Nick is even more reactionary

    I saw the thumbnail, was going to watch it for shits and giggles, then noticed it's 2 fucking hours long (ie an hour at 2x). No. Only way I'd sit through that is if they also had Shmuly Boteach on with Fuentes, because that would be absolutely hilarious

    I'm not perturbed by this.

    Terrible people get interviewed all the time. That's just the media ecosystem we have.

    I saw a clip of the interview on Breaking Points & Fuentes compares his ethno-nationalism to Israel.

    • Breaking Points - Krystal And Saagar REACT: Piers WILD Nick Fuentes Interview

    It's a very salient point, coming directly from a far-right figure.

    Peter Beinart has been making essentially the same analytical point for years: that parts of the American/European Right admire Israel because it models the kind of demographic, exclusionary nationalism they want at home.

    Israel, after all, has exactly the kind of immigration policy that many European xenophobes want for their own countries: an immigration policy that welcomes members of the dominant group and keeps out pretty much everyone else. Moreover, if you’re a xenophobe who dislikes the Jews in your country because they dilute ethnic and religious purity, Israel offers them a place to go and be with their own kind. That’s one of the reasons Arthur Balfour embraced Zionism in 1917. He liked the idea of a Jewish homeland in Palestine in part because he wanted Eastern European Jews to go there and not to his country.

    • The Beinart Notebook - Are Zionists more antisemitic than anti-Zionists?

    In a discussion with FMEP, Peter explains that for people like Mike Pompeo and other White Christian ethno-nationalists, Israel "offers a certain kind of model" - a state with immigration policy and citizenship hierarchies designed to maintain a dominant group.

    • For Pompeo or Fuentes, that would be White Christians over everyone else.

    • For supporters of Israel, it would be Israeli Jews over everyone else.

    Beinart contrasts this with groups like the ADL who oppose that model at home but defend it for Israel, creating a double standard that sees ethno-national hierarchy as acceptable only in one place (where it benefits the Zionist in-group).

    • E.g. the ADL espouses replacement theory for Israeli Jews.

    So, IMO, the more significant issue isn’t simply 'bad guy got interviewed' (Piers has interviewed worse people like Daniella Weiss, who gets to actually live out her ethno-religious-supremacist fantasies).

    It’s the way the media and mainstream politics tolerate & normalize the logic of exclusionary citizenship when it’s applied to Israel - logic that Euro-American ethno-nationalists elsewhere happily latch onto and uses as cover.

    I had similar feelings about Albanese going on Tucker. Appalling judgement that really does nothing to quell the antisemitism/anti-Zionism conflation.

    People rightfully condemn Netanyahu and Israel for allying with antisemitic fascists like Orban and Trump because it reveals they're full of shit when it comes to caring about antisemitism. But the same applies to anyone who platforms or boosts white nationalists like Tucker and Fuentes.

    I don't wanna watch so I'm just gonna assume the whole video is just Morgan asking Fuentes if he condemns Hamas.

    Which of the two? I can't stand either of them. Rathbone very clearly pointed out the Fuente's vacuousness in this video. Beyond his superficial anti-Israel position, Fuentes is, at root, an old-skool imperialist.

    parent root
    2 points quiddity3141

    I just watched that video you linked and the description of him as smug is perfect. I honestly think underneath he doesn't really care if either Jews or Muslims are being killed; he hates both. He's like a chaos agent as I see him. He's also just playing to what will get him attention and stir up the little groyper types. I cannot say some of the things I wouldn't mind happening to him. I wish him the day he deserves every day.

    parent root
    3 points homendeluz

    That's an excellent observation. Surprisingly (to me) Milo Yiannopoulos said something very similar on the Piers Morgan follow-up show today: that Fuentes is hollow at his core ("a chameleon") and doesn't truly believe in anything.

    parent root
    3 points quiddity3141

    I just listened to it (at least the Milo segment) and I loathe to agree with him, but I do. I have rather low regard for Milo, but have to credit that he is intelligent. Fuentes is just bitter hate and trollishness.

    He’s just a white supremacist probs a Nazi. (surprised he hasn’t outright said it tbh, I think the only reason he hasn’t is because he’s one of these muppets that thinks they were “socialists” and to him commie bad.) Morgans show is owned by Murdoch, and the pair will do anything for money. I’ll never forget the phone hacking scandal.
