If he's so white, why is his last name Fuentes? Sounds like maybe he's not "inner circle" material. Maybe he's employing some classic misdirection so the True Whites don't notice.
Dipshits like him obviously haven't paid much attention to history, because if history is any lesson, even the True Whites are fodder for lots of (sometimes literal) backstabbing and purges and ideological witch hunts. I'm sure other wingers can and will find reasons to cast him out - the last name, as you point out, and also the fact that he is an incel/possibly closeted - I bet even a lot of unhinged wingers might find that a bit weird for him to say that dating women is gay.
To elicit a response is to feel powerful. The greater the response, the more power perceived. It's a self worth issue. America is dying from low self esteem. The bravado we project is just some small dick energy, over compensation. We are a nation of people trying to buy an identity from a car dealership. Presently this yearning for purpose has been disastrously harnessed by jackals.
I queued with two guys in a video game Wednesday morning who spouted that line. I was taken aback. How do you effectively respond to someone who says that? I didn't handle it well, but I have thought about it a lot since it happened. I remember playing with shock humor when I was in high school, but that is beyond the pale.
Sometimes asking them to explain the joke will be enough to get them feeling embarrassed. If there’s multiple guys throwing this shit around that tactic could easily backfire, though.
Unfortunately there are many. And no matter what their interests are, whether it's sports, video games, or going to the gym, there are right-wing groups who have set up shop to welcome them to their side. They provide them fraternity, an in-group to be part of, share their common interest, and pump a steady stream of misogyny and bigotry to normalize it.
This seems very off to me. Like it's manufactured. It might be true. But most of the young men I know hate that guy. And all that he stands for. It's hard to imagine them voting on his side.
The US elects a misogynistic fascist, and misogynists feel emboldened. Who could have seen this coming? I'm as surprised as y'all are—which is to say: not at all.
Absolutely disgusting to hear it being said. I hope I get a chance to "correct" someone for doing this, as someone with daughters. That shit don't fly.
