    Tbf reusing the same words for peoples new or different idealogies is how we wind up with words losing their meanings. New words can be useful.

      The definition of groyper is the same as a nazi.

      The Groyper movement has been described as white nationalist, homophobic, nativist, fascist, sexist, antisemitic, and an attempt to rebrand the declining alt-right movement.

      Call people what they are.

                Traditional German name, Fuentes.

                His parents are Mexican. He considers himself white, and tbf he does look like a basic white boi. He’s also quoted as saying he’s Irish and Italian, neither of which qualify for traditional “Aryan” ancestry.

                Enrique Tarrio has a similar deal, but doesn’t consider himself a white supremacist, or white himself. This seems to break the minds of a certain kind of liberal that doesn’t seem to understand that Hispanics can be racist against not just black people, but other Hispanics.

                God knows what will happen to their brains if we get some actual Africans in trying to spread hate against Nigerians or whatever.

                If you want to call all white supremacist fascists Nazis I don’t think anyone reasonable minds that much but you need to understand that the fascists aren’t all on the same wavelength of nationalist brain poisoning and that they’re not tied to traditional definitions anymore than you are, and they disagree about what those definitions themselves.

                I don’t know if Fuentes believes in Aryanisn exactly but we do know he believes in the rest of their bullshit. Don’t assume he has to be tied down to the old terminology or you might miss the new ones.
