Jubilee Connor: Connor Estelle, a US man who openly identified as a fascist during a viral YouTube episode by Jubilee, claims he was fired from his job due to his controversial political views. The episode, which aired on Sunday and has already surpassed 4 million views, featured an intense panel of 20 far-right conservatives in a debate with British-American journalist Mehdi Hasan.

Estelle’s admission drew immediate attention. When asked whether he identified as a fascist, he replied unapologetically: “Yeah, I am,” followed by a maniacal laugh and scattered applause from other participants.

Estelle doubled down on his extremist rhetoric during the episode. “I, frankly, don’t care being called a Nazi at all,” he said. He attempted to justify his stance by referencing historical Catholic persecution under Nazi Germany, saying the regime only “persecuted the Church a little bit.” While he claimed he didn’t support violence or attacks on human dignity, he appeared to downplay the atrocities associated with fascist ideology. His remarks led Mehdi Hasan to quip: “We may have to rename this show. Because you’re a little bit more than a far-right Republican.”

Estelle Turns To Crowdfunding

Following the backlash and the episode’s viral reach, Estelle claims he was fired from his job. He has since launched a campaign under the pseudonym “Pinesap” on GiveSendGo, a Christian crowdfunding site popular among right-wing circles. “Unfortunately, voicing fully legal traditional right-wing political views results in real consequences,” Estelle wrote on the platform. “This is cancel culture and political discrimination on full display.” As of this writing, Estelle has raised close to 20,000 Dollars, with donations continuing to pour in from supporters who view his case as an example of “free speech suppression.”

Addressing The Fallout

Estelle also discussed the controversy on the Rift Report podcast on Monday, where he portrayed himself as a victim of modern secular culture. “Well, unfortunately, I lost my job as a result. And no one really is to blame for that,” he said. “It’s just the culture that kind of exists currently surrounding the manner in which you’re canceled for voicing any heterosexual, Christian, sort of moral belief that goes beyond the secularism and relativism that we’re so used to in our time.”

A Flashpoint In The Cancel Culture Debate

Estelle’s case is reigniting the culture war debate in the US, with critics pointing out the dangers of normalizing fascist rhetoric under the guise of political discourse. Meanwhile, supporters frame his dismissal as a violation of free speech and an example of “cancel culture” run amok. Jubilee has not issued a public comment on Estelle’s firing or the backlash following the episode.
