The GROYPER movement’s DARK reality | Luke Thomas on Nick Fuentes cults
Luke Thomas breaks down the groyper movement, Christian nationalism, and how antisemitism gets smuggled in under “anti-Israel” rhetoric before tackling COVID policy, rent control, and the Ali Reform Act. Luke explains what Groypers actually are, why their project revolves around a white ethnostate and aggressive anti-immigrant politics, and how that worldview is built on vibes instead of evidence about immigration or demographics. Luke draws a sharp line between serious criticism of Israeli policy and naked bigotry toward Jews or any Abrahamic religion, making clear you can oppose a government’s conduct without endorsing religious hatred.From there, he revisits the COVID era, arguing that vaccines and Operation Warp Speed were crucial but that mandates in some civilian contexts and overly “managed” scientific messaging damaged public trust and left openings for bad faith attacks. He talks candidly about what he would reconsider on mandates and what still holds up in hindsight.Luke also fields a question on rent control and rent stabilization, outlining why adding housing supply matters more than price controls alone, and why he is cautious about drawing strong conclusions without a deeper read of the literature. Finally, he reacts to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s questioning at the Ali Reform Act hearing, why UFC reform is likely to sail through the House, and why the real fight will be getting 60 votes in the Senate.Listen to the full conversation over on Luke’s Substack: https://lthomas.substack.com/If you find this kind of long-form political analysis useful, hit subscribe and turn on notifications so you do not miss future breakdowns.Chapters00:00 What is a groyper00:26 Christian nationalism and antisemitism02:19 Criticizing Israel without bigotry03:17 COVID response and vaccine debates04:19 Rethinking mandates and mistakes04:55 Science messaging and public trust05:20 Rent control and rent stabilization06:03 Rep.
