Conor Tomlinson above, analyses the Nick Fuentes phenomenon.
People like me, and indeed me myself, I, Boomers (b. 1946 to 1964), have hated much on Fuentes. I consider him, by his own words, a racist, homophobic, misogynist, anti-emite. There! Any more ad hom we can throw at him?!
But… he’s the voice of something happening amongst lots of Zoomers (b. 1997 to 2012). People in their 20s. Rather than simply dismiss their views because all the “isms” above, we ought — and I’m going to try — to understand where this now popular trend amongst the rising Zoomers is coming from.
Conor is Fuentes’ age. Like Fuentes, he’s a strict Catholic. I’m nothing. Long time atheist. So I share none of those perspectives.
But still. I get why Zoomers are cranky at a guy like David Finkelstein who demands a Jewish motherland to provide safety and refuge for his tribe, but denies it to the Scots-English in Britain.
But I’d say that’s the understandable but wrong target. Consider Islamic countries. 57 in the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, and 22 in the Arab League. They represent 1.8 Billion Muslims (vs just 15 million Jews worldwide), and entering the U.K. in vastly greater numbers.They say: “we’re not here to Take Part. We’re here to Take Over”. Surely that’s the bigger danger, by at least two orders of magnitude.
