Well?
Is Nick Fuentes woke?
Yes.
As I type this I imagine screams of outrage from a subset of my teeming hordes of readers, fans, and admirers. They feel betrayed because they believe that the most essential characteristic of wokeness is left-wingedness, and as everyone knows, if they care, Nick Fuentes is a not only right-wing, but a right-wing extremist white nationalist.
So how can I say that Nick Fuentes is woke?
Because we’ve got to look beyond the diversity, equity, and inclusion merit badges worn by the woke folk and peer, with trepidation, more deeply into the depths of the woke heart of darkness.
It’s time to roll out the T-word: totalitarianism.
Now, that T-word is an eight-syllable mouthful, if you count the m at the end as a syllable, and extremely hard to decipher, but to understand woke and wokeness and the woke folk, we’ve got to make a bit of a trip into the weeds.
Let’s let Mr. Merriam and Mr. Webster help us out here:
totalitarian: of or relating to a political regime based on subordination of the individual to the state and strict control of all aspects of the life and productive capacity of the nation especially by coercive measures (such as censorship and terrorism)
And now we have a clearing in the fog of war for a moment: Wokeness is nothing other than a form of totalitarianism. Cleverly disguised, of course. Wrapped up in the sheep’s clothing starting with diversity (only applies to BIPOCs and certain other protected classes, say the woke folk, and has nothing to do with diversity of thought, ideas, and opinion which, say the woke folk, must be ruthlessly crushed.) Yes, there’s equity, inclusion, environment, sustainability, and governance, all of which are part of the sheep costume employed by the woke cosplayers to hide the blood-dripping totalitarian wolf fangs hiding inside.
So, Nick Fuentes? Is he actually a human being, or just a cartoon character, like his avatar, the pirated Pepe the Frog?
Nick Fuentes is a real person, but also dressed up in cosplay drag: one might say that he’s wolf dressed up in werewolf clothing. What do I mean by that?
Wolves are actual, real predatory animals. Wolves exist. Werewolves, on the other hand, are imaginary, fictional, essentially supernatural beings; and the kind of “alt-right, nationalist, supremacist, super-whiteness” beings allegedly represented by Mr. Fuentes are also imaginary.
True, the Nazis (shorthand for activists of the German National Socialist Worker’s Party, or NSDAP) were a truly evil lot in the last century, and true, they still have their admirers today.
But in the meantime they have been replaced in the media by a cartoonish mythology, represented so clearly by Mr. Fuentes and his ilk.
Yes, the original Nazis were totalitarian, and Nazi-like regimes today are totalitarian. For the most part, today’s Nazi-like regimes claim incessantly that they are not Nazi-like, because they are left wing, whereas the original Nazis were right-wing.
But, if birds could speak, any bird would tell you that it takes both wings to fly.
So, if Mr. Fuentes is a woke wolf in werewolf clothing, what more do we know about him? Let’s take another look at history, specifically the history of the agent provocateur. That’s a French phrase, well described in Wikipedia.
For example, Wikipedia tells us:
In the United States, the COINTELPRO program of the Federal Bureau of Investigation included FBI agents posing as political activists to disrupt the activities of political groups in the U.S., such as the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the American Indian Movement, and the Ku Klux Klan.
Interesting, by the way: Wikipedia gives us an old-time example of FBI activity to provoke political action, but somehow leaves out more recent examples. Can you think of any? I can.
Nick Fuentes made a recent appearance on the political stage since somehow Donald Trump got hornswoggled into inviting along with his pal Kanye West to his inner sanctum (who hornswoggled him, I wonder?) — so there we have three agents provocateurs: West, Fuentes, and the hornswoggler.
Suddenly a name pops into my head? Ray Epps. Who was Ray Epps? Who is Ray Epps? Was or is Ray Epps an agent provocateur?
I’d bet real solid stablecoin on it, if I had any.
Friendly reminder to all that Nazi, "National Socialist", ideology was collectivist and marxist in orientation, thus it was of the left. The canard that nazis were of the right came from post WW2 leftist academics.
Funny that the name “Nazi” was an abbreviation of NSDAP, acronym for (German translated into English)”National Socialist German Workers Party.”
That right, SOCIALIST.
As in “Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics.”
