How does a Green Beret or any serviceman deal with the possibilty they are not fighting for a just cause ?

How do you now view the USA's involvement in Iraq ?

Does Mr Freitas can give (maybe age-related) parenting advice for dads like me who can get frustrated with the emotional sensitivity of their sons (mine is 8), and how to better interact with them? Personally I think I see myself in him (I was pretty sensitive, and still is) but want to prepare him the best I can at being a man in a tough world with lot of expectations on men.

I am active duty stationed in VA, and a gun owner & 2A supporter. Given the dems’ electoral success yesterday, just how bad is it going to get? Did they pass every restriction in lockstep last session because they knew it would all get vetoed anyway, or will they follow through now? Will I leave for deployment legally in the clear and come back to a gun safe full of possession crimes? And how are the state courts on 2A?

From the perspective of someone with experience in the military, what is your opinion on the ongoing tensions with China? The issue seems to be pushed into the background at the moment, but it's not resolved, and if the United States lapses into apathy it's likely that CCP will do their best to exploit that opening.

Do political normies often get you mixed up with Nick Fuentes? To my shame, it took me about a year before I stopped making that mistake. Until I then, I had avoided clicking on links that used your name.

I worry that the education system in the UK (possibly elsewhere) essentially views young boys as broken girls (less focused, less compliant, less able to sit for long periods etc). This paired with a lack of male role models is a massive developmental risk (psychologically, academically etc). What could be added/changed to the approach to education to help young boys that have already been suggested?

My son has mentioned that he struggles with how to be masculine and sensitive. He's 11. He was in public school until we started homeschooling him this year. My husband has been a great example for him. He sees and hears so much contradictory information about gender and sex, particularly around being a boy who cares so deeply about the world. How can we further reinforce our values around being himself as a sensitive value driven young man in a society that constantly tells him it'll never be good enough to be himself?

I am not noticing many male members of the generation entering the workforce and millennials are stuck in adolescent patterns of behaviour (making very poor judgement, immature responses/reactions, childlike displays of masculinity, ego driven etc etc). Is the solution just modelling, patience and giving them responsibility/purpose? Or is there an obvious/quicker route to develop these people?

Good day, Nick. Western society has provided an environment in which discomfort is instinctually avoided as though it is some sort of evil. This seems to be a major contributor to our spiralling troubles in the modern day. How do we encourage each other that hardship is worthwhile in a world where pleasure and distractions are easier to get than ever?

Thanks for all you do! Longtime viewer of MTA and proudly homeschooled. You're doing God's work!

How worried are you about the US military and its preparaedeness level for the likely coming war over Taiwan. I know things are bing done with companies like Anduril to try and deter it but is it enough.

Do you think the culture has turned a corner so that we can tell people who mention "toxic masculinity" to jog on?

Hi Nick! I have greatly admired your work in the VA House of Delegates and your online presence. What does the future hold for you? Do you see yourself playing a role in the future direction of the GOP? I am hoping the answer is yes. 😁

Is a man a woman when he identifies as a woman? Is a man a Nazi when he identifies as a Nazi? What makes you a Nazi, words or actions? If you put Hamas next to Nick Feuntes can you tell the difference? By action a lone who is more Nazi Nick Feuntes or Hamas?

If Feuntes is a Nazi should we put a bullet in his thoat because it is for real this time?

Why are you asking Nick Freitas about Nick Fuentes?

Expand full comment
Claudia von Ayres's avatar

Because he is a Israel supporter and he knows about Hamas. Hamas being the true Nazis of 2025 not Nick Feuntes. However, everyone believes Feuntes to be a Nazi because he says he is one. Nick is a massive C U Next Tuesday but he is no Nazi. He doesn't even know what a Nazi is. If you know your history you would agree with me. Nick Freitas has a good head on his shoulders and I believe he would give a balanced answer.

Oh OK. I think I understand your reasons. I guess Tucker Carlson platforming Nick Fuentes has a lot of people really pissed off. I've been alarmed by the groyper movement ever since they started appearing at Dan Crenshaw, Ben Shapiro and Donald Trump Jr. events, trying to shit stir and discredit the American Conservative movement.

I also agree with you about Hamas. Have you been following the continuing developments by the Telegraph in exposing BBC bias? This was from a couple of days ago- it didn't get as much traction with the algorithms as some of the other BBC bias stories. I wonder why? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdIIHMAMEiM

I haven't trusted the BBC since Covid. BBC is crime not just to Israel but to the UK. They have been taking our money to fund this sick shite.

Maybe they expect us to go back to Black and White TVs- they're only £58.50 a year!

Howdy Nick! Andrew West from Circle here! So glad to see you back on Triggernometry. I’m currently in trade school, and I’ve settled into a role of leadership in my cohort. When there are tests coming up I’m usually helping guys review and get up to snuff. When there’s labs I’m helping teachers and students alike to get projects done on time and to standards. Should I use my position here to try and influence these guys politically and spiritually or should I just leave it be and solely focus on the education. I’ve had some conversations individually with fellow students but I’ve yet to more overtly assert this kind of influence over the group as a whole. I’m not sure if it’s such a good idea.
