00:01:39.000That there was certainly a predominant theme of white identitarianism, which is a big difference and a far cry from supremacism.
00:01:48.000And I would say that additionally, most of the people that I was marching with, as someone who was on the ground, there were more than a thousand people in attendance.
00:01:55.000And I will tell you that most of the people at Charlottesville were not KKK, were not Nazis, were not supremacists of any kind.
00:02:03.000The majority of the people were good people, I believe, who just have a problem with mass immigration and this cultural sterilization that we're seeing.
00:02:12.000In the South and against some of the Confederate monuments and history.
00:02:16.000So, if you look at the event attendees, they come from all across the conservative political spectrum.
00:02:23.000Would you consider yourself a member of the alt right?
00:02:27.000I would describe myself more as a paleo conservative or a traditionalist conservative.
00:02:32.000I find that the alt right is a little bit too edgy.
00:02:36.000There are some things, I think, optics wise, that are a little bit not so sensible in terms of if you want to create a mass political movement.
00:02:44.000So, I've maintained always that I am a Traditionalist conservative.
00:02:48.000You've said that you've received death threats for your participation in Charlottesville.
00:02:52.000Did this make you feel particularly unsafe here in Boston?
00:02:57.000Yes, and I had received death threats for a long time.
00:03:00.000I received death threats before the election, after the election, after the inauguration, several times in spring, and then they started to come around again after Charlottesville, of course, because some of the posts I made on Facebook went a bit viral among left and right wing people.
00:03:16.000And it definitely made me feel unsafe because.
00:03:19.000We had had some of those death threats investigated by the police before, and not a whole lot came of that.
00:03:25.000So, I would say that I think that some of those threats were credible, and I didn't really see a lot of activity to stop those or to thwart those threats.
00:03:35.000Were any of the threats that you received from Boston University students?
00:03:40.000Yes, I believe several of them were from BU students.
00:03:43.000And did you report any of these messages to the administration?
00:03:52.000I mean, by the time that I had gotten those threats, and even by the time of Charlottesville, the paperwork had already been underway to withdraw from the university.
00:04:00.000So, I didn't see really any need to report them given that I wasn't coming back to Boston.
00:04:06.000So, you've said that you're going to Auburn, Alabama, where there are more like minded individuals.
00:04:11.000But, do you believe that the increased media coverage that you've received will affect your chances of getting admitted to the school?
00:04:21.000But also, I've been admitted into Auburn University twice before.
00:04:25.000I was admitted after I graduated from high school in the fall of 2016, and I was admitted for the fall of 2017 as well.
00:04:34.000I believe that Auburn University would actually have a lawsuit on their hands for discrimination if, for some reason, I was unable to get into a school, which, by the way, has a very high acceptance rate for a third time after there's this political and media circus.
00:04:49.000So I would say that while that might be a concern, I think ultimately Auburn University will make the right call.
00:04:56.000And if you do end up at Auburn, will you continue to be as politically outspoken as you were in Boston?
00:05:05.000I think that, you know, while it's never easy to speak your mind and it's never easy to be sort of a black sheep and sort of be the dissident voice, especially among young people in this generation, I would say that's important.
00:05:18.000And given my views and given what I believe in as to what the threat in this country is and what the problems in this country are, I think I would be actually complicit in what's going on if I weren't able to speak out and I wasn't continuing my activism, even though it might be difficult at times.
00:05:36.000Well, thank you again, Nick, for joining us.
00:07:17.000I don't really know much of what the administration does.
00:07:19.000I think we get like five emails from President Brown every year, and that's it.
00:07:23.000I don't know how much I've seen other than the emails.
00:07:26.000I think that the administration tries to be as neutral as possible.
00:07:29.000The administration tries their best to start the dialogue, but I think at the end of the day, it's really up to the students to have that dialogue.
00:07:37.000After speaking with students, it's clear that many think Boston University is a left leaning campus.
00:07:42.000Still, most believe the administration tries to stay neutral in the political conversation.
00:07:47.000Reporting for On That Street, I'm Emily Page.
00:07:57.000Unfortunately, Boston University's Dean of Students Office was unavailable to appear on the show.
00:08:03.000However, the office says At the Dean of Students Office, we encourage all voices to find their place at Boston University.
00:08:10.000You can see this in the variety of political and social student organizations registered through the Student Activities Office.
00:08:17.000And you will see it in the depth of our programming this academic year.
00:08:21.000We do hope to foster productive dialogue surrounding current issues, both domestically and globally.
00:08:27.000If a student ever feels threatened or harassed at any time, be it for the views they are expressing or any other reason, we encourage them to report the incident to the Boston University Police or our office.
00:08:39.000And that does it for our episode of On That Point.
00:08:42.000I'd like to thank our guests, Jack Moriarty and Nicholas Fuentes, alongside On That Street reporter Emily Page.
00:08:48.000Make sure to follow us on Twitter and Instagram, add On That Point, and like us on Facebook.
00:08:53.000Thank you for watching and we'll see you next time.
