The Nick Fuentes alog industry has basically collapsed or at very least, it's moment of zeitgeist has come and gone. There are various internal disputes within the Dissident Right that are no longer relevant in the post-Elon Twitter era. For example, the "optics war" was a debate over how to move forward in an era of increasing censorship but has been rendered redundant in the era of free speech Twitter. Things have moved so far to the Right that it is hard to determine what a "wignat" even is anymore. Likewise, the issue of America First is different in this era. Much of my criticism of Nick Fuentes in 2022-23 were due to two things. First, after the entire right was wiped off social media, Nick was the last person in the Dissident Right with a significant public presence and I felt he was not acting with the level of seriousness that such responsibility should demand. Second, the sense that America First was standing of something better emerging. Neither of those things really apply in the post-Elon era. There are now about a dozen +100K white nationalist Twitter accounts. We're not quite as dependent on Nick to get the message out. In a way, Nick is bigger than ever but he's not as important as he used to be. There's much to criticize about Nick Fuentes but the fact is that he's never going to be totally destroyed. He's a talented enough of a performer that he will always be able to retain some audience and he's a big enough name, he'll always be able to find new allies willing to latch on to him, if for no other reason, than for the clout. There are some people who have deep personal grievances with Nick and other people for whom being anti-Nick is how they make a living. I don't expect those people but I am personally satisfied that Nick no longer has a monopoly on pro-white talking points which was always at the root of my objections. It wasn't so much that he was doing X, Y, and Z but that he was doing X, Y, and Z when he had the entire movement resting on his shoulders. This is not me "bending the knee" or "crawling back to AF". but just an acceptance that the alogs lost and we just have to live with that. The alogs almost won. Were it not for Elon Musk, they might have won. But Elon happened and it now appears that barring something extraordinary we are stuck with Nick Fuentes for the foreseeable and we're just gonnao have to make peace with that.
