Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.
With 192,487 views on Monday, 28 November 2022 our article of the day is Nick Fuentes.
Nicholas Joseph Fuentes (born August 18, 1998) is an American white supremacist political commentator and live streamer. A former YouTuber, his channel was permanently suspended in February 2020 for violating YouTube's hate speech policy. He holds antisemitic views and denies the Holocaust. Fuentes self-identifies as a member of the incel movement, as a supporter of authoritarian government, and as a Catholic integralist and Christian nationalist. Collaborating with Patrick Casey, a former leader of the neo-Nazi organization Identity Evropa in 2019, Fuentes' followers, known as Groypers, began to heckle Turning Point's Culture War Tour, including a speaking event for Donald Trump Jr. In 2020, seeking to establish a white supremacist conference to rival CPAC, Fuentes began holding the annual America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC). Fuentes attended the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, and later was an attendee and speaker at events preceding the 2021 United States Capitol attack. He has encouraged the use of jokes and irony among white nationalist groups, stating that it "is so important for giving a lot of cover and plausible deniability for our views". Fuentes has praised aspects of the Taliban's governance and their takeover of Afghanistan in 2021. Following the Dobbs v. Jackson Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, Fuentes praised the ruling, stating it meant that "banning gay marriage is back on the menu, banning sodomy is back on the menu, banning contraceptives is back on the menu, and basically we're having something like Taliban rule in America, in a good way."
