Thoughts on the Theroux AF documentary:
Nick came off looking extremely well. Theroux made a mistake in trying to portray him as a dangerous white nationalist instead of trying to frame him as a tragic/laughable figure.
The way he clipped Nick's AFPAC speech made it seem epic, trying to portray Nick as the next Mussolini made for powerful propaganda, and all the clips from his show he used was like a best of compilation - because he went for the most outrageous clips they ended up being hilarious in the context of splicing them with ominous music.
Nick took the right response in stating his beliefs in a very direct, unapologetic way. The "wow just wow" response by Louis just made him seem more authentic.
The strength of Theroux used to be that he built rapport with the subjects of his documentaries and humanised them, thereby making their ostensibly dangerous beliefs seem like the result of a fearful/damaged mindset in a way satisfying to his libtard audience. Now that he feels more of an obligation to not seem sympathetic to people considered extremists, the documentaries don't hit the same, and when he takes this preachy attitude to young guys that are clearly having fun in what they're doing he just comes off as condescending and out of touch.
People saying it will hurt Fuentes are wrong, all the people that see him as a hateful bigot after this were going to think that regardless, it's a little bit of upside and a lot of exposure for very little downside, especially now that he is already deplatformed off everything.
Baked did fine because he seemed like he was having fun against an intrusive British libtard trying to lecture him about the consequences of his fun and the power dynamics of race. Beardson came out looking the worst, which perhaps highlights a problem in that the AF approach requires someone as agile and charismatic as Fuentes to make it hit right, it can too easily lose its punch as it trickles down.
Thought too much time was spent denying the White Nationalist argument, especially when almost everyone watching will see the defense as just an admission of guilt anyway, would have been better to just step over it and use the screen time to put Theroux on the defensive as an avatar for the media and challenge him on why he has such an issue specifixally with white people asserting themselves in their homelands.
Overall went as well as it could have, and shows how the out of touch media class is so weak in combating ideas on the right. All Louis had was vague condemnation and condescension, which is a dynamic that doesn't work against people who are unapologetic and look like they're having fun.
