That's not what Nick is saying here.
Now what's funny is that when it comes to what he is actually saying, he's still wrong. Or at least has a very much incomplete thesis judging from his single comment alone.

It doesn't matter what he's saying because, barring his hatred of women, Nick Fuentes [doesn't consistently believe in anything](https://web.archive.org/web/20251102090441if_/https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1830041275950653440/pu/vid/avc1/1280x720/QB5lM5xMf94NIx7r.mp4). It wasn't that long ago that [Fuentes argued against the US State Department](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G91P2OIWYAAV1cq.jpg?name=orig), [argued in favor of siding with China](https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1912289145789075457/vid/avc1/1272x720/z_7BexIJWxYc7r6G.mp4) and went as far as [to call the American government "the great satan"](https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/2008098267805192192/vid/avc1/1042x720/IJV9jUYRXS25fqK4.mp4). After [yet another flip-flop](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G92CxU1WMAAWpLI.jpg), he and his most loyal "groypers" must pretend, once again, that he [never held those previous positions](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G97Acu3WgAEsI8V.jpg?name=orig). He even used [to argue against the term "low IQ anti-semite"](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G95lYjBW4AA8KD-.jpg?name=orig), which was primarily directed towards his followers at the time.
He's a completely unserious petty joke who ultimately accomplishes nothing while feuding with those who actually do, like Avaroll or Joel Davis. This critique doesn't even touch the federal asset allegations.

The overton window is indisputably controlled by "the media" and any change was intentionally permitted. In the event Fuentes brings up a good point, he's destined to water it down, contradict it or disavow it. At that point, he's not a useful or insightful barometer for any political thought or action. If Fuentes and his followers were threatening, technocrats like Musk, Thiel and Zuckerberg would simply algorithmically suppress him and his clips.
What Fuentes ultimately accomplishes is leading his fans astray and being an albatross around the necks of his few reputable allies. It's worth reminding that Fuentes [betrayed and mocked](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fl0Gb_wWYAUspxJ.jpg) the same followers he commanded [to disregard police](https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1611425187441905666/pu/vid/888x496/N3KE7XT9eQUTKxBH.mp4) on January 6th, an event [he was privately warned not to attend](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GyH4moHW0AAamAq.jpg). He fundraised money that simply vanished without seeing any political use ([2024 ballot harvesting for Trump](https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1737220755392479232/vid/avc1/1280x720/EnSVWvPLDcxbH_KX.mp4) and "Operation: Michigan"). Even if, despite all the warning signs, he isn't a "controlled op", his "movement" proves to be a net negative. He is the Hasan Piker of the "right".
What do you suppose the hypothetical world where Elon Musk never bought Twitter looks like? I agree that nothing exists in a vacuum, but ordinary men are politically limited by their circumstances. In contrast, [Fuentes had been emphasized by the media as far back as 2019](https://xcancel.com/MTVNEWS/status/1204510784598020098). Those in power obviously aren't omnisentient or even completely unified, but they're obviously able to shape public perception by filtering information.

There's also his hatred of "the poors" and simping for parasites like Brian Thompson
Thats just patently false. He has shifted the window by large margins and not in a controlled op way like shapiro, kirk, peterson etc.

No. You do not live in a matrix. You and other's affect the world.
