Back on February 24th, 2020, it was widely reported that LeBron James wasn’t seen at Kobe Bryant's televised and live streamed memorial service. When asked about whereabouts, Rich Paul, LeBron’s agent, stated that James had spent the day “in his own space.” Later on, it was reported, via unnamed Lakers sources, that James was actually there, but we didn’t see him because perhaps he chose not to be filmed. LeBron did not confirm he was there when directly asked on camera, though.

But for the New Right, there is no perimeter and there is no interior — immigrant crime in Sweden matters far more than whatever is happening next door in your actual physical town. If a MAGA fan’s town became 10% whiter, or people started going to church more, he wouldn’t even know it until some influencer quoted the statistics to him on X. The New Right is an online fandom, and its victories or defeats will all be online too.
