Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Police in Berwyn, Illinois, responded to an altercation involving white nationalist Nick Fuentes and Marla Rose, a woman who reportedly confronted him at his home after his address was doxxed.

Rose claims Fuentes sprayed her with a liquid, took her phone, and pushed her. She posted and later deleted a video of the incident and has since faced online harassment, including “swatting.”

Both Rose and Fuentes are currently refusing to cooperate with police, leaving the investigation stalled.

Fuentes and far-right commentators defended his actions, citing self-defense.

Have you ever seen a more punchable face?

God I still want to curb stomp him

Good god, Pai is really begging to be slapped. Look at those eyes. So empty.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

He just needs to have his coffee out that giant fucking mug he carried around

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Matt Gaetz. Ok at least on the same level.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Charlie kirk but it'd be really hard to hit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

It shrinks into his head as your fist approaches it. Less of a face than an event horizon

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't think anything can top Matt Gaetz as far as punchability goes. His face looks genetically engineered to look punchable

I mean, it's extra large to make it easier

Too bad it was Brienbe of Tarth that showed up.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I don't understand anyone here who says this lady is in the wrong. If he felt threatened or whatever then don't answer the door? Call the police? Instead he opens the door to attack. People saying "oh that was dumb she was asking for it", wow no.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

I would say if you're using an address from a dox, you're probably in the wrong. Doubly so if you consider the person an adversary.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 6 months ago

It is possible for two people in a situation to both make poor decisions.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I still don't understand the supposed tough guys that back this whiney little brat who cannot even get laid, all while labeling everyone and everything they don't like a "cuck".

Also, the same bunch looooove a whiney little brat born with a silver spoon in his mouth, never worked a day in his life, never was in the military, and spends two hours on hair and makeup every day....

I mean, what the actual fuck?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Easy. If your life ain’t going the way you want it to it’s much easier to join a big group and blame an easily identifiable “outside group” ( melanin content, language, religion, apparel, beliefs etc.) than it is to reappraise your way of living and your goals. Then if somebody runs their mouth on this you can get behind them - much much easier than taking personal responsibility for your own personal emptiness and feelings of helplessness. Having said all that, fuck ‘em. Fuck every last one of them.

No such thing a self-defense for a walking rape threat.

Little bitey chihuahua trying to look tough.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This take is dumb...

I'm all for finding these people where they live but she went there alone and seems to have had a dumb plan. She didn't think she may confronted or possibly assaulted? And hey, the guy may have been within his rights

I hope more people show up next time, with a better plan

"Your house, my choice." while everyone takes turns taking a hot steamy dump on his doorstep?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This is it. But put the turd in a bag, with "your house, my choice" written all over it, so that even a scrap can be read, and launch it.

Don't tarry, conceal identifying features, and if he starts getting guarded, wait until that passes, or organize a flash mob via an anonymized medium to increase impact and reduce casualties.

[after putting dog poop in a paper bag and lighting it on fire on Old Man Fuentes' porch]
fluxion: Oh my God, Old Man Fuentes hates shit.
bastion: Shh, here he comes.
Old Man Fuentes: Who the hell is it? What do you want? Judas Priest, Charlie, it's one of those flaming bags again.
Charlie: Don't put it out with your boots, Nick.
Old Man Fuentes: Don't tell me my business, Devil Man. Call the fire department, this one's outta control.
[Old Man Fuentes steps on the bag, then lifts up his boot and smells]
Old Man Fuentes: Eck, poop again.
fluxion: He called the shit "poop".
[fluxion, ShaggySnacks, and bastion laugh hysterically]
bastion: This is the best night of my life.
[They continue laughing]
Old Man Fuentes: I'll get you damn kids for this. You're all gonna die.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Yes. All a part of the plan.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

I'm here for it!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (2 children)

How long do you think before he just vanishes?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I'm honestly surprised it's taking this long. I was expecting same-day justice, delivered straight to his face.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I'm surprised the altercation wasn't just a woman assassinating him

Rumors he also really likes manly men

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago

Not unless he has no trespassing signs up. Even then, I think it's still legal to knock on someone's door.
