"Last week, far-right streamer Nick Fuentes openly called for the mass criminalization of women and girls. During an episode of his America First livestream on Rumble, Fuentes declared, "Just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists - all of his political rivals - we have to do the same thing with women ... They go to the gulag first. They go to the breeding gulags.""
"It would be easy to dismiss rhetoric this extreme as fringe theatrics. But Fuentes' Groyper movement has come a long way from its meme-driven origins. The distance between its politics and the broader culture has narrowed, and its sexist, homophobic, transphobic, antisemitic, Islamophobic, and racist ideas have become increasingly normalized in public life. In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, Fuentes has been angling for greater influence within a conservative movement that is unsettled, divided, and shedding what few restraints remained."
Nick Fuentes openly called for the mass criminalization and containment of women and girls, urging they "go to the gulag first" and to "breeding gulags." Fuentes' Groyper movement has shifted from meme-driven origins toward greater influence and normalization of sexist, homophobic, transphobic, antisemitic, Islamophobic, and racist ideas in public life. Fuentes has sought increased influence within a conservative milieu unsettled by Charlie Kirk's death. The murder of Renée Good by a DHS agent and dismissive or mocking commentary afterwards illustrate how violent actions against women can be normalized or excused. The portrayal of women as enemies to be criminalized raises urgent concerns about escalating extrajudicial violence.
