Cabinet nomination incoming…

That's a terrible reaction for Fuentes to have to someone ringing his doorbell. What did he have to be afraid of his life for? I hope she recovers swiftly.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 99 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Right? When a stranger knocks on my door I pretend I'm not home like a normal person.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

When you're scared of something outside your house, you don't open the door wide and immediately attack it? But they could just be loitering out there forever. Scaring you forever

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor If he hears, he'll knock all day I'll be trapped, and here I'll have to stay

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Our species' weakest are inexplicably scared of everything. It might've been a useful trait at times in the forgotten past, but we've evolved a lot.

It's one of those traits reserved for "persons of special consideration", if you know what I mean.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Children trust everyone. They have to be taught to be fearful. And to hate.

[–] riskable@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks ago

we've evolved a lot.

Clearly some haven't.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 20 points 2 weeks ago

He said he was afraid because of what he posted online, which implies he is afraid of everyone all the time now. So, I can only assume this is the first person to ring his doorbell since he posted online, as that is his only possible reaction.

[–] boydster@sh.itjust.works 63 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Be a real shame if he somehow learned the implications of "Your body, my choice" from the other perspective while in detention...

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Aside from not liking rape jokes, this is a pretty bad take. People aren't generally getting violated in county. That's generally happening in more long term facilities like state or federal prison.

I hope he gets the book thrown at him. I hope his time teaches him just how wrong he is, or at least terrifies him into shutting his stupid fucking mouth. Hell, I hope he inexplicably disappears while he's on the stand, baffling scientists for decades. But I'll never wish for the rape of anyone.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It is. And he's an absolute pile of fucking garbage. I'm not defending him.

[–] boydster@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Great, so we don't need to do the whole paradox of tolerance thing then, yeah? Saying that it would be a shame if this guy's own words came back to haunt him seems pretty fine to me.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you look at my original reply you'd see that I never condoned tolerating him or his bullshit. I personally don't like prison rape jokes. I didn't say you couldn't make them. I didn't police you even a little. The fact that you're so set on justifying rape jokes that no one told you to stop making tells me something about you.

If you're that bothered by what an anonymous drunk thinks of the kinds of jokes you make maybe you should take a look at why you feel that way. I'll give you a hint: it has nothing to do with the piece of shit this story is about.

[–] boydster@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I didn't say you condoned his words. I took issue with your mischaracterization of my using his words in kind, as a rhetorical device. Have a good night.

[–] Gamoc@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Defending jokes about someone being raped. Nick joked about rape and everyone rightly hated him for being an awful excuse for a person. I hope you're proud.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Then why are you defending him?

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 60 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Aside from being horrific, the order is bizarre. He threw her down the stairs, then sprayed her with mace, then smashed her phone.

Is this psychotic deescalation?

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

This is release from emotional exhaustion followed by an intense period of paranoia

[–] Texas_Hangover@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

According to the article, he pepper sprayed first.

[–] Balthazar@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago

How surprising that the guy who's an asshole in public is also an asshole in private!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Hope they lose the key to his cell.

[–] granolabar@kbin.melroy.org 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

At least he did not shoot her, always got to be worried about these times...

He is not the Adjustor, no discipline

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Although....not to tarnish a good man's name...but....put a hoodie on Nick Fuentes and I will 100% be able to be convinced that he shot that CEO. Case closed, let's stop looking for someone else. Nick Fuentes is the man. Fuck that dude.

[–] granolabar@kbin.melroy.org 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

isn't he too much of a bootlicker?

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Shh shh. He killed that fuckhead CEO dude.

[–] granolabar@kbin.melroy.org 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

y'all sucking at this framing tbh... nick is too much if a bitch for the job thati's like framing mentally unwell ethnic/religious minority

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

No shit bro, he's a traitor to all us Latinos but fuck that dude, he volunteered to offer allegiance to the sickest bitchass herbs, let him find out what clicking teeth through his tongue feels like while in the chair. Fall guy? Idgaf, he made his stance clear.

I gotta presume you're not serious on this shit, I won't be responding to any further comments from you. If you have a question, reread my response.

[–] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 weeks ago

Looks like “your body, my choice” doesn’t quite work in the real world. Good way to catch a charge.

[–] Juice@midwest.social 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Can he be extradited to North Korea for the lulz?

[–] riskable@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks ago

This is the United States! We don't do that!

We either elect them into office or put them in charge of a health insurance company!

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

Someone please check on Destiny, his boo is in trouble

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

The white nationalist Nick Fuentes who was caught on video eating out the ass off Steven 'Destiny' Bonell?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I always love seeing neonazi wannabes with Spanish last names

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Because Spain, the country that collaborated with Hitler, doesn’t have Nazi?

Many Latinos with a Spanish name identify solely as white, since you know the country their ancestors came from, Spain, is in Europe.

[–] ours@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Collaborated is putting it mildly. Spain went full fascist with the help of Hitler, serving as a testing ground for their planes, equipment, and troops.

Sure they sat out WWII but that only meant their brand of fascism lived all the way into the 70s.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I hope he doesn't get away with it, by construing it as defense of his home or something. I don't really understand how those self defense laws work in the US, hopefully my fears are unfounded.

[–] Texas_Hangover@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 weeks ago

In some states, you can physically help people off your property, in some states you can't.
