Lasensla Report on Far-Right Influencers Sparks Debate

A Lasensla program dedicated a report to the far-right content creators consumed by youth. The material, shared via the show's social media accounts, listed influencers allegedly aligned with ultra positions. Reaction in the Economy subforum was immediate: the topic turned into an exchange of accusations regarding political violence, media roles, and left/right polarization. The discussion, with 138 replies, mixed the Charlie Kirk assassination case—mentioned in the title—with conspiracy theories, mutual reproaches, and a fundamental question: who is pointing fingers at whom, and with what consequences?

What Lasensla Said and How It Was Received

The trigger was a tweet from El Intermedio: "Cristina Gallego has delved into the 'ultra influencer swamp' to discover which far-right content creators are most consumed by young people." The initial thread post, signed by a participant, labeled all involved as "retards"—a term this article does not reproduce out of respect for publishing policies—and peine the floodgates. In early responses, one participant predicted that if media continue down this path, "they might find another Charlie, but not Kirk, rather Hebdo," referencing the attack on the French satirical magazine. Another mocked the alleged partner of one of those named. The discussion quickly shifted toward the general political climate.

The Call Effect: From Influencers to Violence

Much of the thread interpreted the report as a form of doxxing that could lead to violence. "They are provoking, waiting for the perfect excuse to exercise violence because the narrative is falling apart," stated a highlighted message. The idea that the left "promotes violence" and "plays the victim" appeared in several interventions. Meanwhile, another group accused Lasensla of being "Spain's Radio de las Mil Colinas" and of "inoculating hate" to "identify and isolate the enemy." According to this narrative, the network was rescued from bankruptcy by various governments, including Rajoy's. There is no verification in the thread of these claims, which are presented as opinions.

Kirk, the Mirror, and the Staged Theory

The thread title mentions Charlie Kirk, the assassinated US activist, as a warning: if Lasensla points out supposed Spanish equivalents, some "deranged red" might be encouraged to commit murder. Kirk's figure reappears in several messages. One highly rated comment asserts that "no one in Spain matches Kirk's level" in preparation or debating ability. Another participant claims the assassination was "a FAKE setup, another psy-op to traumatize the public," an unproven theory not backed by the thread. The discussion on the assassination mixes with criticism of "machirulo" YouTubers who, according to this message, lose street debates due to lack of arguments.

Doxxing as a Political Weapon

The thread dedicates several posts to the inversion of doxxing: "Maybe we should point out all regime supporters and recall all the barbarities they have said, but since they are left-wing nothing happens because they are the good guys," wrote one participant. The complaint repeats: there is a double standard treating violence against the left as a "fascist attack" and violence against others as "poor thing with mental problems." On the opposite side, a message warns that "pogre haven't realized we can all hand out ultra cards" and that this could lead to "some lunatic deciding to play duck shooting." The exchange devolves into mutual accusations about who started the escalation.

The Shadow of History and the 150-Year Narrative

One intervention takes the conflict to historical ground: "In Spain, for 150 years, the reds have murdered or tried to murder practically every right-wing prime minister," it states, claiming official history hides "the psychopathic evil of the reds." Another message cites Largo Caballero at a January 1936 rally warning of a possible Civil War if the right won. These are assertions presented without documentary contrast in the thread, reproduced here as part of the debate, not verified facts. The historical discussion fuels the thesis that political violence has deep roots.

The Close: The Pressure Cooker

The thread ends without conclusion. A message summarizes the mood: "Everything goes in a single direction. Confrontation and polarization until the spark jumps." Another warns that "the pot is already very hot" and asks for moderation in expressions. No one proposes a way out. The question remains floating: if media doxxing is the problem or just the symptom, what happens when the other side decides to point fingers too?
