Brilliant job, bro.

Beautiful explanation, extremely readable and well-written. Elegant structure paired with simple, forceful, and efficient prose.

Thank you for this!

A few notes:

1. Even before UTR/Charlottesville there was tendency among the non-mainstream right to move away from a big tent approach towards ideological lithmus tests and cannibalizing each other.

The subsequent "Optics Wars" were ultimately won by people who merely substituted one brand of potentially life ruining activism with another.

BAP is actually one of the few people who were pricipled in their opposition to this.

2. Even if Fuentes and his associates weren't extremely suspicious he would still attack BAP.

Fuentes is highly narcissistic and vindictive towards people who "wronged" him, with this behaviour going back years too (James Allsup, Lauren Rose, recent Groyper General departures etc) and after BAP warned people about the Groyper Leadership Summit he predictably became the target of his narc rage.

3. Functionally AF looks much more like a fucking cult than a political group.
