Hahahahahahahaha hahahahaha.

“We support Trump, but his campaign has been hijacked by the same consultants, lobbyists, & donors that he defeated in 2016, and they’re blowing it,” Fuentes continued. “Without serious changes we are headed for a catastrophic loss.”

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

Oh yeah that's the problem of course!

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 60 points 1 month ago

Fascists are fragile specifically because they require absolute strength to rule. As soon as they are shown to be weak they are eaten by their own.

Inaccurate headline.

“Tonight I declared a new Groyper War against the Trump campaign,” Fuentes wrote in an X post Friday night

“We support Trump, but his campaign has been hijacked by the same consultants, lobbyists, & donors that he defeated in 2016, and they’re blowing it,” Fuentes continued.

As delightful as it would be to see Fuentes turn on Trump, that's not what's happening here. They're just bitching about the fact that he's losing and looking for someone other than daddy to blame (Nazis do love a good "stab in the back" myth). There's no substance to this because how the fuck do you have a "war" against a political campaign. Most likely it just means they're going to start pushing out their own memes more in an attempt to make 2016 happen again, while not understanding that the landscape has changed. Mostly though it's just setting up who they'll blame if he loses.

Do we care about what his nazi addled mind thinks?

[–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 20 points 1 month ago

No. The more you look into the madness the dumber you become.

These assholes feed off attention.

Much better to spend your time doing almost anything else.

Id equate it to huffing paint

Understanding the root of movements like this are important in stopping them, we can shove our heads into the sand and pretend we will all be dumber for it, but ultimately, if they gain more power, or influence, we are already behind the curve on how to stop them. We need to understand our enemy, even if they are dumb little Nazi kiddies on the Internet. Shoving our head in the sand and pretending they are too dumb to understand is how they gain enough momentum to even be relevant.

I hate it that Nazism isn't a crime. If you identify as a nazi you should be put in jail ASAP.

[–] itsgoodtobeawake@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Slippery slope on that one. Do all Nazis deserve punched in the face (and worse)? Yes! Let's not criminalize thoughts or beliefs though, no matter how reprehensible they may be.

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

People fought and died against that thought and belief.

[–] itsgoodtobeawake@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Same rules for communists then?

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

People fought and died against criminalizing beliefs too

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are you not ok criminalizing Nazism? I have no problem with that. The world will be a better place without it.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Nazis are bad people. Part of the reason they were bad people is because they criminalized beliefs.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

See, the infighting stage is supposed to be quiet, then we all find out about it when they all start getting executed suddenly

Save yourself some brain cells and consider it a dumb group name cause thats all it boils down to. Theyre nazis treat them as the joke they are and compare the word to the noise a plunger makes while being used on a toilet.

It’s a frog meme thing, of course. Where all the cool kids get their names from
