Nick Fuentes Stuns: "Jews are Remarkable People"

Controversial far-right commentator Nick Fuentes, long criticized for his antisemitic and white nationalist rhetoric, is now accused by some online observers of softening his extreme views as his associated "woke right" faction reportedly falters.

It's definitely one way to make sense of his recent flip flopping, and positive comments about Jews recently, including "Some of the funniest comedians are Jew, some of the people who made the movies you love are Jews, Jews are a remarkable people."

Whereas before it was clear what he stood for, with his established pattern of conspiracy theories accusing Jews of undue influence, including Holocaust denial, praise for Adolf Hitler, and calls for a "holy war" against Jews, now he seems to be schizophrenic, one day cursing Jews for being the Devil and the next calling us 'remarkable.

Understanding the 'Woke Right' and Fuentes' Role

The "woke right" refers to a splinter faction within conservatism that mirrors the identity-focused grievances of the "woke left" but inverts them, positioning straight, white, Christian men as victims of systemic oppression. It emphasizes ethnic consciousness, tribalism, and a postmodern approach to politics, often rejecting universalist liberal principles.

Fuentes, a key figure in this space, leads the "Groypers" or "Groyper Army," a white nationalist and Christian nationalist group that originated in 2019 as followers trolling mainstream conservative events with racist and antisemitic questions. The movement draws from the "Groyper" meme, a distorted variant of Pepe the Frog, and promotes an "America First" agenda infused with far-right ideology.

Fuentes' influence has waned recently due to internal rifts, including his criticisms of Donald Trump and fallout with allies like Kanye West. Observers note fractures in his "America First" network, particularly after events like the September 2025 Charlie Kirk shooting, which briefly spotlighted the Groypers.

Despite this, Fuentes maintains a platform through his podcast and continues controversial statements, such as denying Hamas atrocities.

The tweet accusing Fuentes of pivoting has sparked debate, with some agreeing it signals desperation amid the movement's decline, while others defend his consistency in extremism. No direct response from Fuentes has been noted as of October 19. This comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Fuentes, including his ban from major platforms for hate speech and his role in white supremacist organizing.

Analysts suggest such shifts could reflect broader realignments in far-right circles as mainstream conservatism evolves.
