I hope that it it stops here, it should stop Current Time 0:19 / Duration 3:08 Mediaite Nick Fuentes Warns His Followers He Will ‘Disown’ Them If They Turn to Violence After Kirk Killing 0 View on Watch View on Watch Far-right conspiracy theorist and highly controversial online influencer, Nick Fuentes, told his followers, known as “groypers,” that if they turn to violence in the wake of the killing of Charlie Kirk, he will “disavow” and “disown’ them. “This is a very delicate situation. This is a very delicate situation. I fear that this has set off a chain reaction. I pray to God there is no further violence. I pray to God that nobody else is hurt as a result of this. I hope that it stops here. It should stop here. To all of my followers: if you take up arms, I disavow you. I disown you in the strongest possible terms,” Fuentes said on Rumble. Shave 5 Shots Off Your Scores Without Changing Your Swing Ad Shave 5 Shots Off Your Scores Without Changing Your Swing PerformanceGolf call to action icon Fuentes and his so-called “groyper army” have long been critics of Kirk, infiltrating his events in the past to troll the speakers and try and turn the crowd toward a more extreme, white nationalist version of conservatism. Earlier in the year, Fuentes praised Kirk for his campaign against Martin Luther King, Jr. and the civil rights attack, declaring, “Charlie Kirk, as we know, has become a white supremacist. And that’s a huge victory. But he remains a, he remains a Jew lover!” “He remains a Jew lover. And that, I don’t use language like that, you know, but he is an Israel shill,” said Fuentes on his internet show in February. Fuentes, who dined with President Trump in 2023, was deplatformed in recent years over his explicit anti-Semitism, as well as his repeated calls for limiting the rights of women, minorities, and the LGBTQ community. His regular use of violent rhetoric has also caused alarm. Investing in the Future of Genetic Medicine Ad Investing in the Future of Genetic Medicine Curation Connect call to action icon Fuentes took a very noticeably different approach, however, in discussing the Kirk killing. He added, “That is not what we are about. And the same goes obviously for the other side. And I want to make that very clear. It would be a profound moral, political mistake for anybody to take the bait and to engage in any kind of reprisal, retaliation, or revenge.” “Remember, we are the good side. And what makes us good is that we have Christ. What makes Christianity and Christ so different from the other religions is that our religion is based on the bearing of suffering for the sake of even those that persecute us. An overflowing of love, an overflowing of self-giving love,” he said, adding: So much of it, it cannot be contained. And unconditional, absolute standard of love for all of God’s children, even those that are misguided, even those that persecute us, even the most heinous among us. That is what makes us different. That is what makes us good. You think you’re good? You’re not. You are not good. I am not good! You are a man. I am a man. You are a sinner. I am a sinner. We cannot save ourselves. We cannot save this world. God can save us. God can save the world. Watch the clip above.

Yes, some away from home spots must be gaining attentionYes, a fascinating "Third-Place Revival" is actively happening, but the new spaces gaining massive attention look completely different than the dark bars or quiet cafes of the 1991–2011 era.Instead of passive spaces where you just sit and consume a product, the away-from-home spots booming right now are built entirely around shared activities and low-pressure physical participation. People are looking for connection, but they want a reason to be in the room together.Several specific away-from-home spots are commanding a massive wave of cultural attention:1. Activity-First Social ClubsThe Run Club Boom: Organized run clubs and walking groups have completely transformed into the "new bar scene". Platforms like Strava reported that new club creations nearly quadrupled recently, turning exercise into a primary venue for low-stakes mingling and post-workout socializing.Board Game Cafes: Places like Sip & Play in Brooklyn or Game Point in Nashville are surging. Having a physical board game on the table lowers the social anxiety of talking to strangers; the activity provides an immediate, built-in conversation piece.2. Wellness Spaces as Nightlife AlternativesThe Cold Plunge Culture: Wellness centers and bathhouses like Othership are exploding as alcohol-free alternatives to the weekend bar. Instead of drinking in a dark lounge, groups of people are gathering late into the night for structured sauna, breathwork, and ice bath circuits.Experiential Grocery Socials: Grocery stores built to encourage lingering are trending heavily as neighborhood hangouts. Local, independent, and high-end grocers are embedding tasting bars, private chef pop-ups, and cooking classes right into the shopping aisles, turning the weekly errand into a social event.3. The "Silent" and Independent Bookstore ResurgenceThe Barnes & Noble Rebound: Once left for dead by the internet, Barnes & Noble is opening dozens of new stores because people are craving the tactile act of physical browsing and discovery alongside other humans.Silent Book Clubs: Local bookshops are seeing packed houses for "Silent Book Clubs". People show up to a cafe or bar, read their own physical books in companionable silence for an hour, and then grab a drink and chat afterward. It provides the perfect balance of a digital detox with built-in community.
