I'm curious as to why he seems to be cool?

I bet Nick Fuentes is referring to the other characteristics of Hitler that made him successful and "cool":

- Highly confident public speaking
- Strong rhetorical persuasion
- Skill at projecting certainty and purpose
- Ability to tap into people’s fears and frustrations
- Charisma that appealed to certain audiences
- Relentless ambition
- A talent for simplifying complex issues into emotionally charged messages
- Strategic use of propaganda and symbolism
- Understanding of group psychology and mass movements
- Capacity to inspire loyalty

"Conspiracy" Another weasel word.  The issue is that you are being pulled into another story.  What is never discussed is that none of this noise is actually improving the lives of average citizens.  

Or are you a weasel worder thats getting pulled into another story? lol.

Here is some of his funding.  Keep in mind that this is only a short summary of what the Internet managed to record.  

1. Bitcoin Donation from Laurent Bachelier (Approximately $250,000 in 2020) In December 2020, Fuentes received about 13.5 Bitcoin (valued at roughly $250,000 at the time) from Laurent Bachelier, a French computer programmer and early Bitcoin investor who died by suicide shortly after.

2. Payments from Kanye West's (Ye's) Presidential Campaign (Over $45,000 Total)Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings show that Fuentes received payments from Ye's 2020 presidential campaign committee (which continued operations into later years). These include:Approximately $14,700 in late 2022 for "travel reimbursement." Over $30,000 in early 2023, including two $10,000 payments for "archival services" and about $10,300 for travel.t

3. Associations and Alleged Attempts with Texas Oil Billionaires (Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks) Fuentes has been linked to West Texas oil billionaires Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks (combined net worth in the billions) through meetings and scandals, but there is no confirmed evidence of direct funding to him personally. These billionaires have poured millions into conservative causes, including the Defend Texas Liberty PAC (which gave nearly $15 million to right-wing candidates since 2021) and groups like the Daily Wire and PragerU.

Interesting thanks for sharing. By providing evidence your theory seems less conspiratorial and you could be right that there is "manipulation" going on. (Is manipulation a weasel word too?)

Another explanation is that right-wing billionaires are better at supporting grass roots/amateur voices. Famous examples of this is Trump going on the Theo Von show while Harris snubbed all those podcasters.

is it true that kamala harris snubbed all the podcasters?

"No, the claim that Kamala Harris "snubbed all the podcasters" during her 2024 presidential campaign is not true—it's an exaggeration that aligns with right-wing narratives criticizing her media strategy, but the facts show she actively engaged with several podcasts. While she did pass on or fail to secure appearances on some high-profile ones (notably Joe Rogan's show, due to mismatched scheduling and format expectations), she appeared on multiple others targeting key demographics like women, Black voters, and sports fans. Here's a breakdown based on what actually happened:Podcasts Harris Did Appear On Harris prioritized non-traditional media to reach younger and diverse audiences, appearing on at least half a dozen podcasts or podcast-style shows during the campaign. Examples include:Call Her Daddy (hosted by Alex Cooper): A 40-minute episode focused on reproductive rights, her upbringing, and women's issues. This is one of the top podcasts among young women.

All the Smoke (hosted by former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson): Discussed her plans for economic opportunity and criminal justice, aimed at young Black men.

Club Shay Shay (hosted by Shannon Sharpe): Aired in late October, covering similar themes to appeal to sports enthusiasts.

The Breakfast Club (hosted by Charlamagne tha God and others): A radio/podcast hybrid where she addressed Black community concerns.

The Howard Stern Show: Another radio/podcast format, discussing policy and personal stories.

Unlocking Us (hosted by Brené Brown): Focused on leadership and vulnerability.

These appearances were part of a broader media blitz in the final weeks, including TV like The View and 60 Minutes, showing she wasn't avoiding alternative formats entirely.

 The most prominent example fueling the "snub" narrative is her non-appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, which Trump did for a three-hour episode. However, it wasn't a straightforward snub by Harris: Her campaign expressed interest, but negotiations fell through over logistics—Rogan insisted on recording in his Austin studio for a full three hours, while Harris' team proposed a one-hour interview elsewhere due to her packed schedule.

Post-election, Harris admitted she regretted not doing it, calling podcasting a "powerful medium" and noting "games being played" in the talks.

There were also reports of internal pushback from progressive staffers who worried about backlash from associating with Rogan's sometimes controversial views.

Other misses: She was turned down by Hot Ones (the spicy wings show), as they avoided politics.

Some sports podcasts reportedly couldn't book her, according to a former White House official."
