There’s an anti-Left storm brewing among the once conservative/libertarian Generation Z, which follows a predictable and dangerous path that’s left a trail of destruction throughout history.
It came to light in the split between Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson last week over Carlson’s platforming of Nick Fuentes, the virulent antisemitic, pro-Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler-adoring, Holocaust-denying influencer, who’s become the heroic voice of Gen Z’s heterosexual white Christian men who have been devastated the hardest by America’s decline.
Shapiro called Carlson out for giving Fuentes an uncontested platform, leading to a bitter parting between two friends who had fought to preserve a conservative America.
The breakup of a bromance between alternative-conservative media heavyweights made headlines.
But the real story is the anti-left’s disturbing path, which feeds on Fuentes’s galling rhetoric, that’s becoming their uncontested rallying cry.
Gen Z is mad as hell and turning their anger to the usual cast of scapegoats: Jews, women, immigrants, minorities, Baby Boomers, and government conspiracies. We’ve seen this play before, and we know the results.
Gen Z is waking up to the reality that they’re inheriting the overwhelming problems of a debilitated America that they didn’t create and can’t solve by relying on traditional conservative politics. They’re suffering consequences created by generations of Baby Boomer and GenX politicos who wrecked their shot at the American dream by sacrificing their future for short-term political wins years before they were born. Here’s what they face.
They’re the first entire generation that’s predicted to underachieve their parents’ success. They aren’t marrying, and when they do, their divorce rates are at an all-time high.

“The contrast was severe, from what I have read about it.”
Have you actually listened to both interviews?
Hear is a link to the Hanson article/podcast.

“They’re suffering consequences created by generations of Baby Boomer and GenX politicos who wrecked...”
The rot started long before baby boomers came of age. Teddy Kennedy started the decline with his Immigration Act of 1965. The goal of that Act was to destroy traditional America. And that goal was conceived in the 1930s.
As a Boomer myself, I can grant the right of succeeding generations to be irate. About ten years ago, speaking of immigration, John Derbyshire said our grandchildren will curse us. It is coming to pass.
pro-Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler-adoring
Talk about the Jungian “Duality of Man” thing.
This right here is the problem for us. Things like this need exposure and public outrage should ensue.
The scumbag GOP Senate just couldn’t nuke the filibuster because it is “so needed” they claim. The truth is “why bother”. 🙄
But they can do this and democrats like this a lot too.
Excuse me, but show everyone where in the intervew the author can possibly claim Fuentes is "pro-Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler-adoring."
I won't wait, because I watched it , and know you're just parroting whatever's been fed to you by your thoughtmasters on the interwebs. False accusations = zero creds. You, this author and American Stinker are either credible or not.
What are you reading and why would you defend a creep like Fuentes?
Because fake reports and slander is wrong, and I'll be read and defend whatever TF I please - Karen.
Agreed. All the hoopla over him elevates his status.
One of the things I’ve learned in my over 66 years on this planet is to completely ignore what people say other people have said and to go listen to them myself.
“Believe about half of what you see and none of what you hear.” My Granddad.
It took quite some time for that lesson to sink in.

Same stuff different day
One generation got old
One generation got sold
This generation’s got no destination to hold
Pick up the cry
Above - part of a 56 year old Jefferson Airplane song.
We keep seeing the same stuff as we circle round and round the drain.
At the end of the day it does not matter what folks here say about Fuentes.
At twenty eight years old the New York Times has an index with his name on it—more than a dozen articles.
Nobody around here has accomplished that.
The left hates him. The right hates him.
Who here could survive and prosper against such attacks?
It is amazing how some people on our side become what they claim they hate the most when pushing a narrative they are demanding people adhere to.
In this case, doesn’t matter if it is in the interview. We don’t agree with him or like him so it is okay to make it up and it doesn’t matter if it is true or not.
I remember the old days why the courts frowned upon here say as evidence.
“who have been devastated the hardest by America’s decline”
That would have been enough to justify.
But you had to lead with hall the other crap?
shameful.
The rot started long before baby boomers came of age. Teddy Kennedy started the decline with his Immigration Act of 1965. The goal of that Act was to destroy traditional America. And that goal was conceived in the 1930s.
That said, his slanderers made him famous. When he was some dumbass, irrelavent 18 year old freshman at BU, they, among other things doxxed him, forced him out of his school and had him put on the no-fly list. Ruined his life.
Now, due his haters own stupidity, he's back with a vengeance and they're trying to do the same. Payback is hell. They earned every bit of it.
If they just let him speak, out-debated him or ignored him, none of this would be happening.
It is time for Freepers to carefully read Teddy Roosevelt’s “In The Arena” speech.
Excerpt:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly;
who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;
but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. “
LOL, of course there are, there are a lot of every group that doesn’t vote like the majority of the group, but as a group the boomers are not left wingers.
There is no "us" due to the fact of the many of the names listed.
That's exactly why there is a split.
Some of the words that some of the names are using are the words that are, quite frankly, evil. It is wrong to unify with evil. There is no "us" in that regard. We cannot unite with it and that even goes beyond simple "principle". It boils down more into simple categories of right and wrong.
Please stop saying there is an "us". That would go a long way toward solving the misconception.
“out-debated him”
The other day I spent some reading every New York Times and Atlantic article about Fuentes—about fifteen of them.
There was one critical fact they failed to mention—and you did too.
The reason folks don’t want to debate Fuentes is he is brilliant and articulate.
I was politically active on our side in our college days but I knew and was friendly some young establishment Democrat activists there.
We debated endlessly of course.
After a couple of years of this they decided to try a different tact with me. They had a private event upcoming with a US Senator who could be a Democrat nominee for President in the upcoming primaries—but had not yet made an announcement either way.
There were about twenty of us—and the Democrat will friendly, brilliant, incredibly knowledgeable and easily able to handle any questions thrown at him—no matter how obscure.
I was not converted—but it was a pleasure to meet and talk with the guy.
His name was Gary Hart.
Bottom line: You can admire and respect someone and appreciate their skills without agreeing with all or even most of their views.
Humans are not cartoon characters.
I agree with your take
