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."

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.
