Groyper

Slating Trump to speak at [Madison Square Garden]^([sic]), putting ‘poisoning the blood’ in his speeches, setting up Odal runes at CPAC, etc. In a few years, one of those groypers [slang for white supremacists]^([sic]) might even quietly bring me back in, with a stern warning for me to ‘be more careful next time’.”

You look at the groypers, you look at Nick Fuentes, you look at people who are by any measure white supremacists and people we would have called the kooky Nazi right, with their Pepe the Frog memes — they all felt very ill at home in Mitt Romney’s Republican Party. […] For a lot of these groypers — Nick Fuentes is one example, but there are a lot of people on the young right who feel this way to varying degrees and with varying levels of Holocaust revisionism — a definition of Americanism is more about your history here, your ethnonationalism, your connection to an Anglo-Protestant culture.

Once again we’re debating the programming choices of prominent podcasters: In March the instigating event was Joe Rogan giving a platform to Ian Carroll, a propagator of perfervid critiques of Israel; this time it’s Tucker Carlson giving a platform to Nick Fuentes, the Hitler-admiring leader of the so-called groyper right.
