But yeah, his personality quirks and ego are awful.

I didn't get that impression from him. He didn't seem to care about Fuentes all that much unless Fuentes was casually shitting on him or punching right from an American nationalist optics perspective whilst also making cookiecaust memes

Spencer definitely has a big ego

And as far as success is concerned I don't think he was concerned about Nick's success from a subscriber/viewership angle and he downplayed the importance of groyperism in his podcast

I could see spencer being a fed as well tbh

Possibly

It's not unlikely he was an informant

Not an agent

i can't stand listening to people who sound this gay for longer than a sentence

based

what the heck, why did my emoji just disappear

Richard Spencer comes from a completely different ideology than Nick. In fact, I don't know if he actually has a salient political stance. All his beliefs seem to center around grandiose abstract concepts.

More philosophical than substantive.

philosophy isn't substantive?

what is this

Spencer has a pretty refined worldview
A sort of supranationalism

He disagrees with conservatism on economics etc.

i don't understand how college aged women could get this wrong

Substantive in the case I am making, is being translatable into action.

Or political action in this case.

Well he tried and failed because action for action's sake is dangerous

Very true

Groyperism in a way was similiar to Spencer's approach

Putting yourself out there

Not to mention the overwhelming crackdown from the established powers was quite jarring for the entire dissident right after Cville.

Of course the safer questioning of TPUSA types got eventually cut off since our opposition isn't retarded

It's actually interesting how many marches were held before Charlottesville

Still they never accomplished much

But people seem to have forgotten

None of them were really covered.

Afaik they led to Spencer's "leader of the movement" forced profile by msm

So it worked out for him

But he wasted it on weird interviews which would cut him out of context

Not all press is good press

Yeah, with the black comedian?

Spencer did a bunch of interviews

Because of his ego

Yeah.

I feel like a major failing was not recognizing that rightwingers are actual political dissidents. And suffer all the trappings that dissidents go through in any banana republic. Minus outright hard power that is.
