The murder of Charlie Kirk, less than a month ago, opened space for unthinkable consensus even among the most radical right in the United States of America (USA) and beyond. Nick Fuentes, 27-year-old influencer, with more than 730 thousand followers on the social network X, and one of the streamers most popular on Rumble, a right-wing platform similar to YouTube, is gaining thousands of new viewers and enhancing its ability to influence.
At universities, Fuentes does not have the recognition that Kirk had achieved, guarantees Donald Nieman, Professor of Modern US History, Law and Politics at Binghamton University. “Fuentes has a lot in common with Charlie Kirk: is a Christian nationalist, anti-feminist, supporter of the MAGA movement [acrónimo do slogan de campanha de Donald Trump, Make America Great Again]defender of America First, but his views have been more extreme, blatantly hateful and anti-Semitic.”
