>>512779017 (OP)I unironically admire Nick for his perseverance at being cancelled.
But in the end, he's a flipflopping do nothing. He literally stands for nothing. He takes everything back with a wink. He's very Trumpian in that sense. He lets his audience imagine he's doing 4d chess.
But what does Nick really believe in? White people, vaguely, unless he gets cornered by the police and then he's Mexican. Catholicism, as if that's a perspective a voting majority can cling to. He talks of morality, but admits he's more of a red pill guy, and glazes Andrew Tate and Kanye West. He forgives Kanye's excesses not out of principle but because Ye is a billionaire.
Nick also isn't as smart as many people think he is. To give just one example, his take on India is worthless. He reduces the recent tariffs issue to India not doing enough for Trump. Nick completely overlooks how Trump's brag that he stopped the war between India and Pakistan actually plays within India (extremely badly). And he overlooks the decades-long effort to bring India into America's orbit, which Trump is stupidly trashing. Nick says he's America First, but he lacks the analytic depth to understand what might be in America's long term interests.
When asked by his audience what books to read, or how he knows so much, he calls them stupid and says everything he says on the show could be read off Wikipedia. And I believe him. He has a Wikipedia-sized brain, which is not nothing. But it's not as deep as it might first appear.
Not completing university is a major loss for Nick. It means he hasn't really matured. He's terminally online and knows how to talk and disses the Jews. That's his only consistency.
So I admire Nick, and watch his clips. But I still have no idea who Nick is or if he stands for anything other than being edgy online, while constantly walking everything back. It's entertaining, but his political future is ambiguous.
