Groyper Wars

They have targeted other conservative groups and individuals whose agendas they view as too moderate and insufficiently nationalist.

Groypers are a loosely defined group of Fuentes's followers and fans. After him, there is no clear second in the Groyper hierarchy. Groypers are named after a cartoon amphibian named " Groyper", a variant of the Internet meme Pepe the Frog.
