Nick Fuentes has denied speculation circulating on social media his followers, known as “Groypers,” were responsible for conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s death, after messages on unfired casings written by Kirk’s alleged shooter Tyler Robinson appeared to be linked to the far-right movement. —Forbes, February 13, 2025
A revolution always eats its young,
Devouring true believers in its urge
To prove itself more faithful to the cause.
With cries of heresy on every tongue,
There has to come a fateful final purge,
And then the end. Same as it ever was.
