Nick Fuentes, from troll king to... leader of a true 'America First' movement?

He also represents a tendency to "identify" too strongly with some immutable characteristic (such as sex or skin colour), or some "tribe", (religion and/or political party).

That's the unfortunate distinction from his peers (Carlson, Owens etc) who seem to have understood, internalized and are in the process of transcending the identity politics trap. And I mean, at a deep level. He is simply too attached to it, and seemingly has not made any effort to see beyond.

Yes, and sadly he may not be able to ever 'get there', which is a shame for everyone who has such high hopes of him. Unless, of course a person is a Zionist and then Fuentes merely gets exploited and used for their own benefit (another shame, in my opinion because it is so terribly obvious).

What I'm really happy about is to see the rise of the "gun bros" most personified in the increasing popularity of Nate from Valhalla VFT (your post #195). It's a relief to find people are resonating more with strong, down to earth, eloquent male role models. Nate is especially suited to that role because of the way he looks in addition to his long experience with special forces and the military. I've very pleased to see an increase in the number of good male role models in the internet space.

Fuentes on sex:

People are saying this aberrant attitude towards relationships likely means he's closet gay. I think it's more like he sees himself as a warrior-monk for whom sex must be 'sublimated' in order to 'achieve the highest good'. Otherwise, sex for him is "purely utilitarian," for propagation of the species, which is decidedly not what its primary purpose is, as Laura's been explaining recently. He may fall under Cleckley's Caricature of Love as one who 'hates women'. He's certainly afraid of them, or strongly resents them.

A “warrior-monk“ could IMO certainly be at least part of it. It could also be that he convinced himself at some level that he “has transzendent“ the sexual and might even view it in a rather schizophrenic way as categorically “evil“ or beneath “his great standards“ of what spiritually should be or look like.

Whatever the case, I‘m pretty sure that his views especially on woman are pretty plainly pathological and he either isn’t willing (at this point at least) to deprogram himself and/or isn’t able. I also think there is a good chance that he is a closet gay in some way or that he had proclivities towards something like that at some point in his past. Wouldn’t surprise me at all.
