    So Owo checks bulge is mostly furry culture, I can’t find anything on Nick Fuentes using it other than a mountain of articles post shooting. If you have a source before that, I’m interested in reading it.

    The rest is either memes that aren’t really right wing related or stuff that is simply anti fascist. The Bella Chow songs seems to be only associated with Nick Fuentes because it appeared on a playlist with his name on it once?

    Idk, the whole thing stinks and seems really forced. The alt right doesn’t own helldivers and anti fascist songs and catches phrases. The whole thing seems silly the moment you start actually looking into it.

      The owo checks bulge is related to groypers and an activity called “transvestigating”.

      The Bella ciao on the Fuentes playlist was related specifically to Charlie Kirk.

      It isn’t forced in the context of Fuentes repeatedly referring to Kirk as a fascist, I can’t think of any other context where all of this makes sense other than groyper culture where it all fits nicely.

        Like I said, I can’t find any info about this at all pre shooting. Do you have any kind of source? Was this something you knew about before or just when the media starting telling everyone about it? The articles never have a source or anything other than hearsay.

        I’m glad Kirk died and all but the whole thing stinks.
