This Racist Youth Movement Is Melting Down Over Virginity

The white nationalist America First movement has become embroiled in a bitter feud after its former treasurer got a girlfriend—a faux pas with the movement’s celibate leader.

A newly nominated Republican congressional candidate in Ohio says he’s not a QAnon guy. There’s just one problem: The candidate, J.R. Majewski, was repeatedly filmed talking about Q on web shows, spray-painting QAnon logos onto his lawn, and wearing QAnon merchandise. “This guy has more QAnon merchandise than basically any QAnon person I’ve ever talked to,” says Fever Dreams co-host Will Sommer, who found videos of Majewski wearing an extensive Q-themed wardrobe.

This week on Fever Dreams, we dive deep into the far right’s livestreamed publicity woes, from Majewski’s QAnon comments, to a nasty fight in the white nationalist “America First” movement. The movement, which counts Congress members Paul Gosar and Marjorie Taylor Greene as fans, is undergoing turmoil after its treasurer got a girlfriend and stopped living in the basement of leader Nick Fuentes.

That was a problem for Fuentes, who describes himself as an incel (that’s “involuntarily celibate”) and beseeches his young, male fanbase not to have sex. Now the movement’s former treasurer is calling the movement a cult. The movement is so grounded in being “racist and ridiculous in public that it ruins people’s lives,” says Fever Dreams co-host Kelly Weill. “You can’t go and get a normal job after that. So they turn further and further into this movement, which really does function almost like a cult.”

While the America First movement struggles with girl problems, Trump fans on the southern border are facing strange new allegations of their own. A recent New York Times report details a QAnon-fueled border vigilante movement that has MAGA types bribing migrant children with hamburgers and asking them for information about their families. It’s not the first group of wingnuts to set its eyes on the southern border. Sommer and Weill revisit the history of Q-inspired vigilante groups like “Veterans On Patrol” that have previously peddled wild theories, like falsely claiming that migrant children were being smuggled across the border so that their blood could be mixed into cement.

1. I'm having a had time connecting the headline to the content of the article.

But I am old.

2. Just so I'm clear on this - these people, young people, are choosing not to have sex

Not a ridiculous religious thing but just not having sex. Wow.

Oh well, their body their choice I guess.

[viva la]

3. IT's more fascist narcissist leader thing

Fuentes is a nasty little repressed exposed nerve, who turns normal human emotion into hatred.
I'm just not sure celibate groups are going to last very long if they're trying to appeal to young men!

4. All the Sad Young Men

Running from the truth.

They are deplorable, and dangerous.

5. So, he's an incel, but thinks his followers should be -voluntarily- celibate.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. "I can't get any because I'm a worthless piece of shit so my followers shouldn't get any either."

The ignorance and gullibility of a not-insignificant portion of the American populace is remarkable.

To quote George Carlin, people are fucking goofy.

6. Yeah, I thought incels all wanted to have sex but couldn't

Otherwise they’d either not be celibate, or be voluntarily celibate.

I’m used to these guys having a double standard, but it’s usually a “people different than me should be held to a higher standard than people like me.” Sounds like his is “people who aren’t me should be held to a higher standard than me.” He’s raising the bar on racist hypocrisy…or he wanted the guy to be more than a roommate, maybe.

7. It seems they have decided to become "Voluntarily" celibate

Because they might as well be.
