Part 2 - Nick Fuentes isn't The Extremest - You Are Preview... "We were supposed to be the grown-ups. Instead, we traded their future for comfort, for politics, for wars, to kick the recession can down the road. We told them they have privilege, we called them racists, fascists, blamed them for history, expected them to have our same moral code, we shamed them for things they didn’t do, couldn’t control, and never signed up for."

Interesting read, I can definitely relate to your observations! Every generation has it’s challenges. Younger millennials and gen Z were given so much yet so little at the same time. So on the outside we look like spoiled brats when we despaired about society. Technology and governments became our de facto parents when certain ideologies tore the mother out of the house, belittled the patriarch and relegated religion to an archaic superstition. Despite this there is still hope. There are pockets of young people who are overcoming their tech addiction, resisting governmental overreach, returning to the faith of their forefathers, and doing their earnest to live a virtuous life.
Thanks for bringing attention to this interview Peter. I agree with your take that it's an iconic one and a watershed one for our times. I watched the full interview and thought Fuentes was hilarious but also that he spoke the truth while Morgan could only parrot the received narrative and try to hit Fuentes with low blows. The post war consensus is done. A new age is upon us. That's not necessarily "good" or "bad" but it most certainly "is" imo
I bet you if Piers was interviewing a BLM activist he'd end up making some of Fuentes's arguments just to have a chance to be condescending. I liked your article in principle, but the generational framing seems irrelevant to me. You seem to be saying that Gen Z are vulnerable to certain views because they're vengeful or something. I'm a millennial and found Fuentes far more cogent than Morgan because he argued better and spoke truthfully. Caveat: I've never heard of Fuentes before this, and could only tolerate Morgan for about 30 min so didn't watch the whole thing.
