while all true, if you notice null and BAP and most of his other detractors chose wrong when it came to israel, and Nick being Mr. Anti-israel the last decade has finally payed off. there's some weird alternate universe when Oct 7th happened in 2016 and WP doesn't get canceled and that Sam Hyde/Nick Fuentes interview happens in 2017. its literally like asking why everyone loves some conspiracy theorist who was the first to call out covid bullshit or every gossip person who later massive fanbases for talking about the Weinstein stuff before everyone else.There are many, many things to criticize Nick about, but the reality is he's one of the most popular talking heads on the far right, mostly because everyone else is so pathetic and degenerate. If wignats actually learned to wash their ass, leave their basement, and stop sperging out at anyone who has ever interacted with a minority, they might be able to see the same success as Nick and their attacks on him might actually be taken seriously.
That's similar to how Redbar got massively famous the last 5 years because his feuds against guys like Joe Rogan or Chris D'elia or other comedians suddenly payed off once the rest of society got on his level. he even admitted he would deliberatly start feuds with other podcasts and use his dedicated fanbase to help fuck with people in order to "get his name out there and go viral" the exact same way you're seeing Nick do today with his Tucker Carlson and Candice owens tirades.
If you're early on a hate train, you end up becoming seen as an authority and guide the conversation. a great kiwifarms example is @The Gays From LA who dominated the contrapoints thread or Blav in the Destiny thread, while others might be better or have more to add to the discourse they end up practically famous for their contributions.
Its like being an early investor in a stock, eventually if everything goes right you look like a genius and people hold you in high regard no matter how lucky you are.
people might be faggots about it, but Nick was really the biggest anti-israel name especially on the right for a very long time. he was talking about it back when Jack Buckby still led the proudboys and you had the alt-light vs alt-right.
Nick was also huge on the anti-boomer crusade, in general he was saying everything people are only now realizing zoomers are all about. its more shocking he hasn't been bigger, even with the censorship. People don't realize how charismatic and perceptive nick is, especially for how censored he's been. I wouldn't be shocked if Sam Hyde or Kanye West or his other connections help him get even bigger, but he has a great energy to him that you don't really see on the right, which is what you said in your comment. there really aren't a lot of non-fat asses who can appear on camera and people's first inclination is "look at this fat fucking loser who's so autistic he can't even speak" which makes up 99% of the alt-right, even JD Vance is fat as shit.
I honestly feel like if Nick Fuentes did go on JRE, especially if he had Sam Hyde or someone else on with him he'd do amazing. look how many podcasts he's been on and been a great guest on. If someone that isn't obviously hateful has him on, he usually has an entertaining time. destiny is a great example, nick was so good destiny sucked him dick.
