Early 2020, a winter of discontent marked by the spread of a mysterious new disease, saw the emergence of a social-media influencer of rare inventiveness and mordant wit. He called himself Raw Egg Nationalist and positioned himself as a thought leader on diet and exercise. Since then, Raw Egg Nationalist has published a slew of cookbooks, created MAN’S WORLD (an online magazine), and appeared in The End of Men, a controversial documentary released in 2022 by the equally controversial Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Raw Egg Nationalist appears as one of the brighter stars in a sprawling constellation of rightwing social-media influencers who exalt nature, tradition, and physical fitness.
