Last time I checked George Washington wasn't a liberal.
It's very much semantics but he was by its classical definition and if one looks at the inspiration for the initial bill of rights, they see liberalism all over it. Politics and ideologies have developed over centuries like the sciences: making incremental changes and developments based upon ideas sourced from a previous lot of people. Thomas Jefferson was 33 during the revolutionary war, Washington was 43. The former was a bigger proponent of decentralisation and anti-federalism than the latter, so maybe Washington was less of a liberal than his contemporaries but in the time period where most of the world still favoured an incredibly strong executive over an advisory legislature, he was one of its foremost representatives.
Liberalism, similar to the words "feminist", "tolerance", and "diversity", have essentially been subverted from their original definitions by those seeking to alter behaviour.
Genuinely how did nick get any followers? He hasn’t grown up an still acts like an immature teen. Like how the hell was this guy seen as anything but a wimp?
He was funny early on, which is how you attract a predominantly male audience - Trump garnered a lot of support through this one simple trick.
2015 to early 2020 was Nick at his
least shit. The Sam Hyde Wigger video was probably his last self-aware moment before his complete decline. Early on, his debates were with people who were usually worse than him morally speaking (Destiny). He wasn't particularly intelligent, but him being loud, pointing out the obvious bullshit and not taking things seriously generally worked for him. This was alongside his anti-immigration, anti-LGBT, anti-Israel rhetoric which was during a time mainstream conservatives were still trying to echo Liberal/Democrat/Leftist platitudes to appease immigrants, gays, and other Leftists. This was cathartic for a lot of younger Conservatives who saw the discrepancy in their politicians and other mainstream right-wing figures sounding similar to the opposition on a lot of issues. In a time when a lot of online figures who leant right were still making civnat platitudes, Fuentes was an early adopter of a lot of modern right-wing sentiments.
Of course modern Fuentes is so far removed from mid 2010s Fuentes that they're indistinguishable. He flanderised himself to the point of absurdity, probably because he knew what attracted his audience to him and so just gave them more of that - a lot more.
His decline matches the moral decline of Leftists when they're sequestered into echo chambers and receive only affirmation from their audience a la Destiny.
1. General eye-rolling sentiments towards women -> full-on woman hate, possibly to the point of becoming a homosexual as a consequence.
2. Anti-Israel, general snipes at Jews -> over the top hatred of Jews to the point where they're capable of god-like feats, being everywhere and behind everything, and pushed to the point where any lip-service of Jews = full-throttled control by them so cutting off your nose to spite your own face is unironically the best option.
3. Criticism of the GOP -> Democrats are better by virtue of not being as bad as the GOP, ties into the above point regarding Israel; applies also to the country itself when lead by the GOP.
There's probably a ton more I'm missing but yeah.
TLDR: He was funny, sort of ahead of the curve politically-speaking, nowadays an utter fag who leads an army of fags.
