Chilling video footage shows the popular, far-right streamer and influencer Sneako proclaiming to a large crowd in New York City, “This is the Islamic Republic of New Yorkistan.”

“This is the Islamic Republic of New Yorkistan,” he said. “Islam will be in every household, inshallah. The whole world is Muslim.”

“Welcome to Mamdani’s New York,” he added. “You see this city? You see how it looks? Inshallah your city looks just like this too.”

Sneako, whose real name is Nico Kenn De Balinthazy, built an enormous following online, especially among young male viewers, through his controversial reactions to online content, leaning hard on the “red pill” and “manosphere” ideologies (i.e., the extreme fringes of the right wing).

Last January, he joined a group of influencers in chanting Nazi slogans while listening to a song called “Heil Hitler.” On his livestreams, he has defended Hitler and said, “Down with the Jews!” In June 2025, he drew fire for stating that “Israel is not compatible with Western civilization.” And last May, even Australia, where antisemitism has spiked sharply in recent years, imposed a lifetime ban on the antisemitic media personality.

The streamer has also collaborated with prominent antisemites Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes, expanding his reach and cementing his popularity among young men. Jewish advocates have expressed concerns about the rise in antisemitism among the youth on both the right and the left who will form a new generation of political leaders in a few years, completing the antisemitic takeover of American governance.
