Rise of the ‘Groypers’

Who is Nick Fuentes?

A far-right activist and influencer best known for his racist, antisemitic, and misogynistic rhetoric. He first attracted attention at 18 as one of the
most vocal marchers at the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va. Less than an hour after a neo-Nazi plowed a car into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing one person, the then–Boston University student posted on Facebook that a “tidal wave of white identity is coming.” Since then, Fuentes has built a large online audience of mostly young men.
