      How does the fact that he accidentally streamed himself watching gay porn —and then tried to blame, I believe, Hezbollah, if I’m remembering correctly—not come up every single time someone mentions his name? It should be the second half of his introduction, like accolades or a PhD

    I’m a British activist. We have been fighting a populous movement called Stop The Boats, which has switched names to Enough is Enough.

    Its come out that I and many comrades have had our photos taken at counter demos and have been added to a list that includes names, location and pictures.

    Fuck these guys. Fuck anyone thinking doxxing fascists is wrong. They are doing it to us. And 15 years ago with the rise of the EDL my party comrades where victim to attacks on the street seemingly random. Letters saying “we know your address and the next one will explode” sent directly to homes of socialist party members.

    FUCK FASCIST.

    Glad to see that the left is finally ready to start rolling up their sleeves and fighting the right on equal terms, using the same weapons they’ve used on us from the start.

        In my 30 seconds of research I didn’t find any verification of that, but I did see a woman is pressing charges for assault on him. According to her she went to his door, rang the doorbell, and he opened the door, pepper sprayed her, then pushed/kicked her down the stairs. Added bonus story portion of the police not wanting to do their jobs.

    This guy is trash but I can’t get behind doxxing. Maga types will be doing a lot of this over the next 4 years and I certainly won’t like it when they’re doxxing immigrants and LGBTQ folks.

    Be clear: I think this dude is as bad as they come, I’m just not comfortable with popularizing the practice, especially when maga types are fans of setting things on fire / shooting at things they disagree with.

    If you think my comment is a defense of nick Fuentes, or that horrible slogan, you’re as wrong as is physically possible. I know he’s done worse than this, and now is hiding behind elongated. But that still doesn’t make it a good thing to popularize.

        The point is they will do it too, and it will have been increasingly normalized. It will not be applied per your definition of “fine”. Remember, “they” (read, maga types) think immigrants and others are “harming society”.

            “They” also do things like voter intimidation at polling places, burning ballot boxes and similar. I wouldn’t say it’s ok to do those things, just because right wing fascists are doing it.

                  I think maybe the problem here is there is no justice when the system has failed by not confining the worst behaviors of the rich. We have no access to the tools you have mentioned, such as prosecution. Their felonious leader has modeled their path forward by evading any and all consequence. We are the innocent bystanders. They have already normalized harming us and now they will legislate it. We must resist the bystander effect at all cost.

                  What do you suggest in this scenario?

            By popularizing the topic it is normalized. There’s also no need to compromise ethical standards.

            I want Fuentes charged for the hate crimes and terroristic threats he makes. I am NOT defending him. But I don’t want people going into his neighborhood, getting the house wrong and hurting an innocent person, for example. Or maybe he moves and the new owner gets the heat.

                Disagree. I’ve made my opinion on him quite clear.

                My comment history is clearly anti maga anti fuentes.

                I’m not interested in normalizing the tools of fascists and or terrorists.

                Explicit defense is completely inaccurate. My original comment even said I have no defense for Fuentes, who I believe belongs in jail

                Doxxing is wrong because of 2 things:

                Bystanders get hurt when mistakes are made

                Normalizing such things will put net new, innocent folks at risk.

                This is the recent event that has doxxing on my mind, and why I’ve taken the time here

        I understand the desire. But two wrongs don’t make a right.

        For example, I’m also against the jokes about prison rape. I don’t care who you are, you don’t deserve to be repeatedly raped because you committed a crime.

        Edit the point is that feeling of seeking retribution is natural. You want “bad” people to get the very worst of life. But if for nothing else it’s best not to act on those thoughts because we wouldn’t want that “retribution” brought upon others or even ourselves.

          I’ll make a deal with you. I’ll be totally ok with it if I start actively harming women by insinuating I own them and you doxx me for that so that women can come tell me how I’ve harmed them. If I spout white supremacist drivel I want you to punch me until I stop. If I make thinly veiled rape threats I want you to kill me.

            It’s not “you”, it’s the innocent people about to be doxxed for their immigration status, who are not interested in whatever deal you’re comfortable with.

              If you think non-fascists being civil and respectful to fascist is going to give fascists even a fraction of a second of pause before they do shitty things, my only possible conclusion is that you’re painfully naïve and also that you don’t actually understand what fascism is.

      There is no legal or verbal defense against this madness.

      Once it spreads, historically, industrial levels of violence are the only way to try to put the genie back in the bottle.

      I’d rather small scale intimidation against ringleaders like nick, than having to bomb the fuck out of some redneck stronghold in Missouri in 10 years.

        My opinion is clearly unpopular here and I’m ok with it. I don’t think it’s cool to normalize violence (or threats of violence) even if the recipient is abhorrent. This isnt a “oh let’s all have free speech, let’s here what maga has to say” / platforming type of comment/opinion I’m sharing. It’s a “I’m not going to normalize violence especially because I don’t want it turned around on at risk people.”

        Y’all are free to have your own voice on it, I’m just sharing my view.

          The violence of the oppressors is normalized because they can pass laws to enforce it. The only violence you’re opposed to is the defense of the oppressed.

            No opinion on the matter at hand, I’m just throwing out there that saving a woman’s life when she’s bleeding out due to lethal complications in her pregnancy is illegal until the last second in many states (let’s see how Project 2025 will impact that in the future). Appointing the kind of special counsel that has been perfectly normal and legal since like forever? Illegal the moment he investigates Trump. Doing crimes? Illegal. Doing crimes as president? Immune, according to Trump’s Supreme court sock puppets…

            What’s legal and illegal only depends on how many judges you’ve bought these days.

            PS: Oh and all that brazen bribery shit that would get any other official not just fired, but straight up locked up? Perfectly legal but only if you’re a Supreme Court judge. Guess who got to decide that? Go have a cookie if your guess was the very people accepting the bribes.

      You’re not comfortable using a tactic these chucklefucks use aggressively against us?

      You’re as bad as DNC leadership, tbh. This “they go low we go high” idiocy got us where we are. Stop bringing a fucking deck of cards to a gunfight.

      Do not lean into the paradox of tolerance. Intolerant views must not be tolerated. It’s always a good day to punch (or dox, or harass, or share their extremist views to their employer or…) a Nazi.

        I shared my opinion that I’m not into normalizing political violence, even if they are already comfortable with it. I get y’all don’t agree.

          Hey, don’t get me wrong - I get what you’re saying, and nominally I wholeheartedly agree. I just ALSO feel that there’s a single, very specific exception: when a political movement inherently involves political violence (that is: fascism), this rule absolutely does not apply.

            I get the motivation, I’m just sharing my opinion that I can’t follow, because I personally believe other innocent folks will be swept up and hurt in the process.

            I am no friend of these maga types. I think people here are very angry about these people (edit like Fuentes… Rightfully so!, I am too.) and my comment is perhaps seen as “defending”? Him. I am not. I just don’t think this is the way to do it.

              Again: I get what you’re saying. And again: I do nominally agree.

              What I’m saying is that you’re looking at the trumpians/maga/proud boys/3%ers as “weird republicans”. They’re not. You need to be looking at them as NSDAP/Nazis/Sturmabteilung. Because that’s what they are. And the want to kill a whole fucking lot of us, because it gives them a hard-on.

              Moreover, I’m not saying that we should be conducting overt, systemic political violence now, but I AM saying that we need to be fully prepared for that eventuality. And to that end, we should be looking to the Maquis, as well as the Polish + German resistance throughout WW2.

                We are aligned on what they are.

                I see resistance against their ways as clinging to, and calling for maintaining norms (when norms are ethical, reasonable… I fully acknowledge even without maga MUCH needs to be improved in America). It is my belief that by normalizing their tools, we institutionalize their methods. We, by participation, make common what should be extraordinary.

                It is my opinion that resisting fascist drift is resisting. Others don’t see it this way and are claiming I’m an apologist or something. That’s too bad cause fuck nick Fuentes. I just don’t like doxxing.

            That’s cool, I’m learning a lot of folks here are at least conversationally cool with political violence. I get the urge, it’s just not my path. I don’t see doxxing as defending people, I see it as inherently terroristic because bystanders could be harmed, mistakes can be made, and it can be leveraged against at risk poeple. So I stand against it. I’ll be in my seat calling for peace, and looking after my community, even if it’s unpopular here. I see that as defending.

            Have a good one

              We have a right to defend ourselves including preemptively. Do you disagree?

              If so you’re accomplishing the same thing in the long run as the Nazis. How does that feel to be basically siding with the bad guys because of your apathy?

                Completely agree, I just don’t think doxxing is defense. Doxxing is akin to swatting and reddit boston bomber chasing. Bystanders are at risk and mistakes happen. It’s for those reasons I find doxxing unacceptable.

                Please do not imply I’m apathetic, there’s no evidence for that. I’m not siding with anyone, I’m saying doxxing is not acceptable behavior by anyone, because of the risks.

                Edit I don’t approve of when things like jurors on trump cases, or election officials are doxxed either, if you have some implication that I differentiate on who should be doxxed or something…

      Maga types will be doing a lot of this over the next 4 years and I certainly won’t like it when they’re doxxing immigrants and LGBTQ folks.

      They’ll do it regardless of if it’s done to this dipshit or not.

        1. Someone shits on the floor. Should we?
        2. They’ve shown time and time again they latch into media trends like the garbage outfit, the ear bandaid, the election official suspicion. If doxxing becomes more widespread, net new people will be harmed
        3. Indeed he is a dip shit

          1. If someone shoots a gun at you, do you shoot back?
          2. They latch on to manufactured garbage anyway, there is no amount of ammunition we can avoid giving them.
          3. They sent out thousands of texts to young black Americans in more than 10 states telling them they are ‘due to the plantations at X date 9 AM sharp’, they are already doxxing and worse.

            Yes, I don’t throw a bomb at them.

            My core point is 2 part:

            1. doxxing is error prone, and can hurt bystanders.
            2. Popularizing such behavior will only make whatever rate of perceived maga behavior / doxxing worse.
