This article is not about Nick Fuentes, exactly. I'm not interested in discussing him at length in the first place, and moreover it would be lazy on my part. I'm interested in what his downfall means.

What his downfall means

Fuentes has embarrassed himself multiple times by now: The nonsense of the Kanye West campaign, refusing to vote for Trump (because he's too soft on Israel), claiming victory when Trump won, and now finally with these credible allegations of homosexuality. He was never stream, but at this point, he never will be. That's wonderful news, but not for the typical reasons you've heard.

Truth be told he has served a certain, narrow purpose. He correctly identified that "America First" conservatives haven't really put America first. Conservatives aren't serious enough about immigration, or isolationism. Particularly as it relates to Israel, conservatives are plenty happy to put America's interests second. Fuentes was right about this, but he went too far. It's possible to want nothing to do with funding all these wars through foreign nations without adoring Hitler, and this is the middle ground the right has to find. Leaning into allegations is a valid strategy, but that doesn't mean falling on the sword. The downfall of Fuentes spells a rejection of extremism on the right, which is fantastic. We're poised exactly where we need to be.

The alternative we will pursue

"I'm not extreme, I'm just a normal guy from 50 years ago" needs to be our battle cry. We ARE just normal guys from 50 years ago, or any time prior to that going back to the dawn of history. It's unnecessary and disgusting to look to Hitler as an example, who was NOT a normal ruler, and who wasn't even Christian. We have far greater examples to look to, in all the Christian monarchs and constitutions that make up Western history. These will be our heroes, who we will model ourselves after, and their societal norms will be our goals. Nationalism, male headship (at home and in government), Christian Law, abolition of all abominations before God, and so on are not extreme positions, and we will not be told they are. We certainly don't need to look to extremist regimes for notes to copy off of.

The conservative right, especially among young men, is getting it. They're throwing off Fuentes as they're also throwing off the narratives they've been told about themselves, because they know there's a third way. There is. The West has walked it for her entire life since birth until the last 100 years.

This is why I chose Constantine as the face of our work, because he was the first Christian ruler in the West. The West itself was built on his legacy, and has not wavered from it until very recently. We must go back.

On a personal note...

I'm moving this week, so I won't be as available until the weekend. For that reason, I won't be hosting a Space tomorrow as per usual, or a podcast. I'm sure you'll all get along just fine until then. Thanks to all of you for your support, I'll talk to you again soon!

God bless you,

The Constantine Option
