Consequences: On the run, Venmo Account Closed…
From a recently released video …
The video I posted from the Alex Pretti murder, calling for direct action, calling for boots on the ground, calling for someone to stand against these murderers, was deemed inciting violence, and, you know, they’re being bullied by the administration, clearly. I don’t think that they’re going to let them take my account down, but… I don’t know what they’re going to do, man. They’re going to silence me somehow, and they’re having a hard time putting a bullet in my head, so… We shall see what they do to get the job done.
I have a backup account in my bio. I am basically on the run now. You know, I have safe places and I have evacuations planned out, but… The way things are going, I’m going to have to be very resourceful, and that’s going to take support.
So, you know, thank you, thank you, thank you a million times to those of you who have. We were able to deploy over a hundred gas masks on the streets in the last couple of days, and help a lot of people, probably even save a couple of lives with the amount of CS gas they’ve deployed. As I’ve said a million times, I’m going to stay in this fight to the bitter end, I’m not going to run away, but I will need some help.
[OCS: Pretti was not “murdered,” but died under circumstances of his own making. Good luck hiding with those facial tats.]
Outrage For Sale, Cash App Included
There was a time when anger was spontaneous, raw, ugly, and unfiltered. Now it’s curated, edited, monetized, and pushed through algorithms like a late-night infomercial. Hate doesn’t just spread anymore. It sells. And in 2026, rage is one of the most profitable commodities on the internet.
What we’re seeing isn’t protest. It’s performance. Not activism — marketing. When an influencer wraps himself in revolutionary language while pointing followers to donation links, you’re not witnessing resistance. You’re watching a business model in real time.
Kyle Wagner, a self-described “entrepreneur” and “master-hate-baiter,” posted a series of videos to social media appearing to encourage armed and explicitly non-peaceful demonstrations against federal agents, whom he referred to as “Nazi gunmen.”
In another Saturday video posted to the platform, Wagner declared there “is a fucking actual guerrilla war in our streets.”
“Listen, my link to my Venmo is in my bio. Okay, if you can’t give via Venmo, you can fucking, you know, send me gifts now. I’m monetized,” he said, referring to a popular application used to send money online.
Wagner also stated he was soliciting “large sums of money” for an “emergency freedom and defense fund,” but added “I’m not gonna tell you what I’m spending my money on.”
“They’re using live ammunition to kill our citizens,” he said, likely referring to federal law enforcement agencies such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). “I need everyone to show up fully prepared, whatever that means to you, to whatever degree you can, right?” <Source>
From Street Rage To Subscription Model
The modern extremist doesn’t need an ideology as much as an audience. Outrage is the hook. Fear is the amplifier. Violence is the aesthetic. And donations? That’s the endgame.
The script is familiar: declare the system illegitimate, dehumanize law enforcement, frame chaos as moral urgency, then tell followers to “show up ready” — whatever that means — while quietly reminding them you’re monetized. It’s grievance theater with a tip jar.
This isn’t accidental. Rage performs well. Algorithms reward it. Platforms boost it. And followers, whipped into emotional overdrive, open their wallets because they’re told civilization itself hangs in the balance.
The Dangerous Lie That Sells Best
The most profitable lie is the one that says everything is already war. If society is collapsing, then any response feels justified. If everyone you oppose is a “Nazi,” then restraint becomes betrayal. That lie turns unstable moments into viral moments — and viral moments into cash.
But here’s the reality check: when influencers encourage armed confrontation while refusing to say where the money goes, that’s not leadership. That’s exploitation. It’s turning fear into fuel and followers into financial instruments.
Chaos As Content
Real people bleed while influencers post. Real neighborhoods burn while rage merchants film. Every shouted slogan becomes branding. Every raised fist becomes engagement. And every tragedy becomes an opportunity to grow the account.
This isn’t grassroots. It’s manufactured fury. The outrage economy doesn’t want solutions, de-escalation, or truth. It wants clicks, conflict, and continued instability — because peace doesn’t pay nearly as well as panic.
Bottom Line
Hate has been industrialized. Rage is packaged, sold, and redistributed to the highest bidder. When fury becomes a funding strategy, everyone loses — except the people cashing out. The most dangerous weapon today isn’t a gun or a badge. It’s monetized hatred masquerading as justice. As for this influencer, I hope the authorities take appropriate action lest one of his weak-minded followers raise a weapon against law enforcement or the law-abiding general public.
We are screwed.
