Fuentes & Anglin have been mutual admirers for a long, long time. I'm not aware of Fuentes having ever grouped Anglin among the optics-deficient, which shows you how insincere that meme was.
The key to understanding Fuentes' trajectory is knowing that after Charlottesville, he sided with a coalition of more or less overt neo-Nazis, including Anglin, who decided that the media's single-minded focus on Richard Spencer could be manipulated to their own benefit. The YouTube stream called The Weekly Sweat never had many viewers, but it was in some ways the nexus of this. Fuentes was a regular guest, practically a third co-host. Beardson was the most long-running co-host. Anglin was a guest once, & had praised the stream previous to going on it, calling it "influential." (It wasn't, but a lot of energy went into pushing that claim.) Ralph was also a guest & (usually) a friend of the stream. Fuentes & Ralph
had their peace summit there.
I'm not very knowledgeable about Anglin, but the stream's fixation was on "irony," by which they essentially meant, dishonesty--dishonesty about their politics, about whether their jokes were only jokes, about why they attacked whom they attacked, & pretty much anything else you could name. It was about cheering on the media's attack on Spencer & others who Fuentes could then supplant. It was also about abandoning IRL events & earnest political talk in favor of long internet streams & ambiguous humor in which kids with unformed brains could be shaped into paypigs on the one hand, & social dependents on the other. In my opinion, it was bad.
The Weekly Sweat episode with Anglin doesn't seem to be online anymore, but Beardson's recent stream with Anglin is
here. They agree that women are whores who often need a good slap.
