This is my point and I thought it would be clear, but based on most other replies I guess not!

Yeah he won an Andy Ngo prize for being an haughty little fascist edgelord on a debate program for morons. He’ll be dining out on it for at least a while to come. Jubilee is fundraising for fascism.
'martyred'
fartyred
BONG
He won't be able to milk that much out of it. I think the stain will haunt him longer than the grift will last.
Someone I wrote about being at a Nick Fuentes rally 12 months ago has a senate confirmation on Thursday. Wish I shared your optimism.
There are a lot of people operating from the dated mental model where the nation isn’t governed by a fascist. These things are recruitment and normalization efforts to show their lack of fear and embolden others. The punishment and then redemption as the comrades rally round is part of the show.
I also thought it was clear lol bsky.app/profile/acab...
Platforming as if they had reasonable views vs showing their whole ass racism so others can see what's been normalized by their party are two different things. The vast overwhelming majority has mayve 3m per day to spend on "politics", so getting this to hit their viral load is a Good Thing.
they will only be grifting off other stupid fucking nazis If he wants to go viral all the opposition has to do is meme his blatant nazi quotes
While people are busy making zingers, the fash are busy securing power. No platform means no way to build
For an old person like me who doesn’t follow TikTok or listen to Joe Rogan podcasts, though I do subscribe to Zeteo, this broadcast was very illuminating as to how the fascist misinformed young GenZ people think. It’s fucking scary. I don’t see this as platforming them.
For a writer like me who has written multiple magazine stories that aren't TikToks or Rogan episodes that cover exactly this stuff, idk what to tell you. I've specifically not written about people *on this episode* bc I would have been skyrocketing their careers. I'm a nobody compared to Mehdi.
I respect your position - not sure who are your audience so it may make sense to not give coverage to these shits - but for me, it was quite illuminating as I had thought young people were like me when I was that age - progressive and somewhat hopeful vs fatalistic and nihilistic and nazi.
I mean I would be shocked if even a simple majority of people knew the origins of the word "jubilee".
Wasn't it a year in which all debts were forgiven?
I think plenty of people understand this from the show Jubilee which has dominated discourse for 24 hours. That’s not the issue at all.
*blinks* there's a show called Jubilee? I legit thought you were referring to the old hebrew tradition
Also thought it was a biblical reference.....
Yeah you can find it here. They have some "interesting" guests for their discussions. www.youtube.com/@jubilee
Well I guess all day. Not 24 hours. Every minute is a day now.
I understand that.
He has raised over $21,000 now. I make about $9,500 a year from my Substack. Haha.
Of course he’s asking for “handouts”.
Congrats @mehdirhasan.bsky.social Top work lad. I hope you asked for 30% as his agent.
Backpfeifengesicht
He looks like Charlie Kirk
You write for normal people. He performs like a trained seal for rich freaks.
that's one bubble that needs breaking
He was so gleeful about his beliefs too. He’s the kind of guy that would have been screaming with joy as the SS rounded the Jews up into box cars and shot them dead in the streets. GLEE. A traitor to his country and perhaps the most punchable face ever and by punch, I mean baseball bat. NMD.
The $88 donations are comforting 🫠🫠🫠🫠🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
Means that we have too many employed Nazis. We need more of them to have to beg for donations.
I think he made a bucket load from one shot sympathy donations. But, I like to think that once that's gone he'll be screwed.
New podcast coming soon
It makes me furious how much money is available to these grifters.
My friend needs help with with her medical expenses after having a new set of lungs transplanted back in October, barely any traction. Pieces of shit like this whine for getting fired for Nazi-rhetoric and they have a bunch of pissants just throwing money at them. This country is so fucked
Don’t give him clicks. He prob didn’t have a job. The MAGAs will give him money to mske the libs cry. Just give him No attention
Damn here I was trying to fundraiser for him
It'll be a one time payout while he's got media spotlight. Whereas you have audience who pay to read your work, built over time. I don't think he could even write a coherent substack to grow audience. He's more Kyle Rittenhouse than Curtis Yarvin.
Lol
I know it seems like a lot of money but if he had to draw that out over a year of unemployment, losing health insurance, between rent/mortgage, any debts he may have, utilities and normal expenses, that'll go very quickly. He's better off being an employable non-Nazi.
Not to mention the loss of potential retirement investment. He pissed away so much money being a miserable piece of shit.
Show proof he lost his job that doesn't come from an anon 40 person follower Twitter account.
Oh I have no idea whether this is fraudulent. Just saying even if it's for real, he wouldn't be in a good situation. Most likely he'll start some nazi podcast.
Even the people from Nazi podcasts get jobs, it's not 2017 anymore. Fantasyland.
Fair enough. Not trying to be argumentative. Was only making 2 points. 25k or whatever it is, isn't a lot of money to live off of and if he did actually lose his job for what he said, cool. Time will tell what's next. Hopefully nothing good for him.
36k, and yeah I get the points, I've just heard them over and over here, and it doesn't match the reality I cover for a living.
Nope.
Sure would be awful if there was a name and face attached to this admitted fascist
Hopefully we stop this silly obsession with debates as if they were MMA fights. All they do is to give those idiots a stage...
They’re all just looking for the bag for being racist and vile.
This dude may have just taken over the World's Most Punchable Face title
I know we always say 'punchable face is not an argument', but truthfully, can anyone think of a single punchable looking dude who did not also turn out to be an asshole
Sorry guys but his life isn’t over. He’s gonna get a fat fucking welfare check right now, and then he’ll continue on without any problems in the future. And if he wants to join the GOP apparatus in a year, he’ll be able to.
Is there any evidence of this campaign being posted to any of his known social accounts? Bc it would be a real good scam to make this campaign up bc what’s he going to do? Say it’s fake? He’s pseudonymous, right?
He went on Rift TV and talked about it. It’s definitely his campaign x.com/TheRiftTV/st...
Yeah tons of times. As far as the pseudo, he’s now publicly doxed. He’s been a very active groyper, in person, for a long time. It’s his campaign.
The other people from Jubilee who are sharing it are his friends, too. His real life friends that he really hangs out with and parties with.
And this is why jubilee is horrible. Gives fascists platforms to find their people. It's sick. :(
I'm assuming "GiveSendGo" doesn't care whether or not he was actually employed, as long as they get their cut.
Pretty much
The 'Christian' crowdfunding site... 🙄
When does Salena Zito do a cushy profile on him?
Never, that would require actual journalism.
Look I think that ChatGPT is awful. But if there’s one professional writer it could write better, than it’s her.
😐🚬
She should use one.
Cleetus Safari profiles with the tone and tenor of dollar store discount romance novels have a certain...je ne sais quois...for some audiences.
😩 as you know, I read everything about Chris LaCivita that comes out. Her profile of him was so atrocious, I almost could not finish it!! Such bad writing.
Great. Now I have homework.
Prompt: identify a local GOP official and write a column that positions him/her as an independent voter who is turned off by Democrats and thinks Trump is the real deal. Please manufacture quotes for him/her.
Hahahhahahahaha
Guess where a lot of Sarah’s following came from. Yet people seem to not even recognize her when they go on the show.
This pisses me off so goddamn much. I got injured and lost my job. Had my car repossessed and my house foreclosed on because I can't work and Alabama has the worst disability system in the country. I've just been trying to survive. I've had a GoFundMe for years. I've gotten like $1200 from it.
If you want to help... Life’s been rough. Multiple surgeries, denied disability, lost my home all while raising my son alone. Trying to rebuild, and any support means the world. GoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/josh-and-n... Cash App: $jkotlowski Venmo: @jkotlowski PayPal: joshuakotlowski@gmail.com
I can only hope people will stop selling to him.
