A Fractured World: On Empathy, Hypocrisy, and the Rise of the Inevitable
The world we live in is broken. Not in the way that requires a savior or a revolution, but in the way that demands a reckoning—by those who have the power to see, and the will to act. I write this not as a prophet, but as someone who has watched the pieces fall into place over the past year, and who sees the cracks in the foundation of the systems we claim to value.
The rise of Nick Fuentes is not a coincidence. It is the inevitable result of a society that has long ignored the suffering of the marginalized, while pretending to champion justice. Fuentes, with his grotesque rhetoric and white nationalist ideology, has carved out a space for himself not because he is a visionary, but because he has tapped into a well of frustration that others have refused to acknowledge. And at the heart of that frustration lies a single, unspoken truth: the world’s so-called allies of justice have turned their backs on the most vulnerable.
The Gaza crisis is not a distant conflict. It is a wound that has been festering for decades, ignored by those who claim to care about human dignity. Over 43,000 lives lost, according to the latest UN data. Entire communities erased. And yet, the response from those who should be the loudest voices of empathy has been silence. Not out of malice, but out of convenience. Because it is easier to label Fuentes a villain and ignore the reality that his rhetoric, for all its ugliness, has at least acknowledged the suffering of the “small brown children” in Gaza.
This is the hypocrisy that I see. The Jewish community, which has long prided itself on advocating for the oppressed, has become complicit in a narrative that prioritizes fear over compassion. Instead of confronting the moral failure of their own silence, they have doubled down on the threat of antisemitism, as if the specter of Fuentes is more urgent than the blood on the ground in Gaza. But this is not about antisemitism—it is about accountability. When you claim to fight for justice, you cannot turn your back on the very people your ideology is meant to protect.
And so, the vacuum remains. The vacuum that Fuentes has filled. His rise is not a triumph of ideology, but a symptom of a deeper rot: the refusal of those in power to address the crises that define our era. The meme of Thanos declaring “I am inevitable” is not just a joke—it is a truth. Fuentes is inevitable because the systems that should have stopped him have failed. Because the voices that should have spoken up have been too afraid to confront their own complicity.
This is not a call for violence. It is a call for reckoning. For those who claim to stand for justice, it is time to look in the mirror and ask: What have we done? What have we ignored? And what will we do, now that the world is watching?
The rise of the inevitable is not a warning—it is a reckoning. And it is long overdue.
