Fair enough, if you ever get curious here's a tl;dr behind a spoiler:

He's a Neo-Nazi live-streamer. For context, Trump hosted Fuentes and Kanye West at his residence in Mar-a-Lago for a dinner in 2022, and this is an example of the response:
Among American Jews, the ensuing discussion was described by a New York Times writer as "what may be the most discomfiting moment in U.S. history in a half-century or more".
Yes, that was my bad. I fixed my comment - thank you for catching my error.
Here's the quote from Wikipedia my brain auto-corrected when I read it:
On November 22, 2022, Donald Trump hosted Fuentes and Kanye West at dinner at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. The meeting was at West's request. West said that Trump was "really impressed with Nick Fuentes".[73] Trump released a statement saying that after contacting him earlier in the week to arrange the visit, West "unexpectedly showed up with three of his friends, whom I knew nothing about", with whom Trump dined, and that "the dinner was quick and uneventful".[74]
Definitely feels like we're being thrown back into it. I'm in an at-risk category, so the despair is much worse for me this time, and maybe as a result I'm not even letting myself feel things yet. Too much to do, no time for grief.

If you're just now learning about him, I both envy and pity you.

I'm honestly baffled it took me this long- I've been fairly active politically since 2016. I do appreciate your pity

The MF is 26 now. How politically influential and notable was he in 2016?

Well apparently he started gaining notoriety in 2017, but I was just stating how long I've been involved

I still don't know who it is, but I'd imagine it's an American bloke, probably famous for something recently over there.

Open and admitted neo nazi who has said Hitler was great, and that dating women (as a man) is gay.
Also personally dined with Trump at his house a few years ago
