Fuentes' politics are a few clicks to the right of mine, I never really tune into his content, he rubs me the wrong way, I know iam90sbaby and others are big fans. I'm not really intending to talk about his beliefs here. The thing is that he's being barred to fly by some DOJ or Homeland Security official, likely for no good reason. He's committed no crime, he's never threatened anybody (to my knowledge). He's never conducted nor advocated for violence. He's no danger to fly or to other passengers. Apparently he'd had a mask issue, like fifteen flights and many months ago. This isn't the airlines blocking him, it's the government. It seems they're only targeting him because he sh*tposts online, and they don't like what he says. Doesn't this man have certain unalienable rights? Can the government just take away your flying privilege because the Attorney General doesn't like what you have to say? I'm not going to defend what Fuentes says, I only agree with about 85% of it, plus he's kind of a jerk and while he himself is OK, he doesn't mind hanging out with more extreme people that I wouldn't want to associate with. But I will certainly defend his right to state his mind, hang out with who he wants, and defend his right to fly. Like I said, he presents zero danger to any other passenger. It seems clear that he's just being bullied for his beliefs (so far as I can tell). I'd be shocked if he has anything more than routine traffic violations and I'll be happy to eat crow on this if something surfaces where he proves to be an actual danger. This is how always it starts. It's like that Holocaust poem.... First they came for Nick Fuentes and I didn't say anything because I think he's a jerk. If they can block Nick Fuentes from flying for no reason, and without getting resistance, they're likely to just keep adding more and more people to that no-fly list.
