Nick's pedo gimmick came from Andrew Anglin, he said so himself, that Anglin "redpilled" him on the age of consent. They're no longer friends and for all his eccentricity, Nick is repulsed by regular relationships and sex, let alone to a teenage girl

that's interesting! i just read some of the arguments anglin made for abolishing the age of consent bc admittedly this is not rlly something i look at frequently

"The idea that the girl is menstruating (i.e., dropping eggs) but is somehow not ready for sex does not make any sense. That's saying God made a mistake"

“Woman is at her peak attractiveness at 13.”

“With so-called ‘consent,’ we have created a system where the completely unregulated sexual desires of women completely control all aspects of society.”

“To be clear, I unrepentantly support forced child marriage. I just want to reiterate that, unequivocally.”

what a disgusting pedophile lmao. even with that taken into consideration, i still don't fully understand why nick felt the need to incorporate that into his character but i guess he does a lot of weird shit. like it's one thing to say "we should lower/abolish the age of consent" (not saying that's not bad obviously) but it's another thing to say "i'm gonna marry an underage girl/underage girls are hot". do you know what i mean? like you can enable pedophilia, which is morally repugnant in of itself, but pretending to be a pedophile yourself when that's clearly not true is so strange. i know he somewhat sore anglin as a 'mentor'/role model figure so maybe it was meant to be to impress him? (on top of just being, edgy) like idek am i missing something?

i know that in 2023 anglin criticised nick for not going far enough with his age of consent/pedophile rhetoric, which is kinda funny like even andrew knew his heart wasn't in it 💀 all just reminds me of the supposed suicide article or perhaps suicide bait andrew posted last week and how nick posted this kinda sentimental msg on telegram

no idea if he actually killed himself though, i guess we will find out when someone begins to be bothered by the smell

The way the American system is set up, even a good leader can’t ever get more than a 50% approval rating. That’s been the case since George W. Bush got 90% after starting wars as revenge for 9/11. Nonetheless, 6% is still abysmally low.

…

No country in the world has leaders with approval ratings this low. Just for reference, Western pollsters – who are probably lying – claim that Nicholas Maduro has an approval rating in the low to mid 20s, so 4-5 times that of McConnell.

…

If McConnell has 10% approval from his own party, he should be removed through some kind of referendum. But we don’t have referendums in America. We have “Western-style democracy,” which means “shut up and take it.” McConnell personally controls the Republican primary campaigning budget, through super PACs, which means he can shut down the funding of anyone running against him in a primary. The media supports McConnell, so they would give no oxygen to an opponent, and, if necessary, smear and destroy any such opponent. I’ve analyzed why democracy is stupid to oblivion, and I should really just write a book I can point to, but the basic fact is that no one is responsible for anything in a democracy (no one knows where the buck stops), and therefore it breeds corruption. In a “dictatorship” or “autocracy” – which is effectively the same thing as we used to call “monarchy,” simply without hereditary secession (most of the time – the Kims obviously do hereditary secession, and I’ve often wished Putin had a son who was of age) – the leader’s success is tied to the success of a nation. A “dictator” is held responsible for his decisions, he is held responsible for where the country goes. There is no dictator with a 6% approval rating. Maduro has the lowest approval of any dictator, and yet, more than 50% of the people would prefer him to any alternative. His government is also constantly on the brink of collapse (though he seems to be taking some initiative now). Regardless, you can look at the data and find that Maduro is at worst the exception that proves the rule. The question is: is the American system viable long-term? Is it possible to have a government this oppressive, where the people have zero say in how things are done, and are simply called terrorists and harassed by the security services if they don’t agree?

…

Can they control it? My thinking is probably yes. I can’t see any point at which Americans, fat and lazy as they are, would ever push back on this government in any serious way. The government is saying “shut up and take it” and Americans are saying “okay.”

Sam Hyde in Pittsburgh- Two Sold Out Shows

[nazalieee]

Naz not to put you on the spot but how do you rationalize Nick's comments about underage girls? I follow him for the politics (I found you because I use Tumblr for unrelated reasons and suddenly wondered what people here think of him) but the teen girl thing is of the few things that genuinely hold me back from trusting him. I think it stems from a lack of a normative romantic dynamic with women, sexism, plus the influence of Andrew Anglin that makes him think that's acceptable and "based", when that's not what he really wants. I'm sure some supporter of his has offered up his teenage daughter to him, he won't take it imo. Still not an excuse for normalizing it to his fans, and he misrepresents the catholic church's position on it. I've also noticed he has stopped talking about that recently, maybe a good sign? I think he's mentally switched out the idea of "a woman I can tolerate" in his mind from a much younger, possibly underage, female, to a foreign woman who doesn't speak English. Maybe he realized grooming victims end up being very needy, not emotionally independent and cold like he clearly wants 💀

(tw / pedophilia mention) Hi! Oh wow, uh...

I feel like I'm kind of the wrong person for these more thought-out questions, don't worry, not your fault! It's just I try to keep my blog more lighthearted, and I guess I just honestly feel like I'm not smart enough to form out long think-pieces in a way that makes sense, but I'll try my best to answer this, just for you! And of course, other people can chime in with their takes! (^_^) 💝

I remember a section in Kuiperoid's essay about Nick, at the end of part two (link.), there was a section where they mentioned Nick wanting a teenage bride and suggested that it's possible that the only reason he wants one is because in his mind it's the most "optical" because he believes that younger women are more fertile. Which yeah, I'd probably believe is true. :T I remember in a Twitter space I listened to, Nick tried to make it sound like teenagers getting married and having kids together at a young age was romantic, and like the "ideal" love story because they won't risk having premarital sex if they get married young. Which is just, like... no Nicky no... (T_T)

He said before that he does overexaggerate the idea of him marrying like a really young girl, and he said age gaps should be like at most around 10 years apart, and if you go over that limit it's kind of weird and then proceeded to say that he'll probably find a girl who's like 20 years old when he's 30. So, I guess it's progress? That was pre-new studio 2024 I think. And you're right that he doesn't really mention it anymore these days, and when he does he'll say he'll "marry an 18 year old", when before he used to say he'd marry a 16 year old. My guess is that it's probably for tactical reasons since he's gained a lot of new people in his audience over the past two years. I am curious for him to do some debate regarding his beliefs on the age of consent, because as we know, he doesn't believe in it, but I feel like I rarely hear him elaborate on exactly what he means by that and how it works? Because if he believes that, oh as soon as a woman starts puberty, she's "eligible" for marriage, but it's like, okay, girls can start puberty at such young ages though, like 8 or 9, and the thought of such a young child being put into a marriage like that just for the sake of being some baby making machine, is so wrong. I think apart of him can see that it'd be weird but that's the thing, I don't know what his response would be. It's sort of uncertain.

But yeah that is my biggest problem is the normalization, because he's never had like a proper discussion about it, just stuff here and there (from what I can see), it opens the doors for legitimate predators, and pedophiles to sneak their way into his little movement and they can get away with it because his followers think it's "based" in some ironic way when no, I don't think that person was being "ironic" at all when they edited an underage girl's head on some pornographic image like groypers did to Morgan Ariel's daughter in December, which was the cause of her crashing out on the groypers and Nick, rightfully so in my opinion, because what the hell? There's a reason so many people on KiwiFarms call AF a pedophile cult, no offense, and why people like Chris Brunet and others are so determined to expose the alleged pedophilia that goes on in groyper circles.

I guess the only way I "rationalize" it in my head, is that, from the looks of it, I don't think he himself is really attracted to teenage girls, with him saying he exaggerates the age he'd go for, for "jokes", and like you said, if he really went for a 16 year old girl, she'd definitely be emotionally dependent and needy, which is the opposite of what Nick actually wants. And Nick has said that ideally, he'd want teens to marry each other, in replacement of them having premarital sex at that age, and that's why he doesn't believe in the age of consent, because in his mind it promotes the acts of premarital sex and having babies out of wedlock. But he doesn't necessarily promote for teens to marry older people, saying that at most, age gaps should be 10 years, and that 50 year olds dating 18 year olds is pushing it for him. But yeah, idk, I don't agree with Nick on most things politically and socially so I kind of just take his stance on that as just another weird and extremely dangerous far-right talking point that he spews and chooses to believe for whatever reason. And while it is dangerous, it doesn't seem to necessarily come from a predatory place in him, it's just a heavily deluded and skewed idea he has, and the main problem for me is that it opens the doors for genuine predators to come in. But yeah, I hope I answered this well! I tried...🥲

The Antisemitism Hoax has Officially Collapsed. Jews Don’t Know It Yet, But It’s Over., by Andrew Anglin - The Unz Review

unz.com/aanglin/the-an…

"The transformation has happened so fast that I don’t think people have yet grasped it:

The official definition of “antisemitism” before October 7, 2023 was “hating Jews for no reason.”

The post-7/10 definition of “antisemitism” is “saying Jews should stop killing babies.”

It’s a really massive transformation.

I know that most non-Jews don’t understand it, but what is even crazier is that most Jews don’t appear to understand it.

Jews have a psychosis where they view any criticism of their behavior as “hate.”"

"Here are a few examples of Jewish behavior I took issue with:

- Working to undermine and destroy the Christian religion

- Controlling the news media and using it to undermine the United States

- Controlling the entertainment media and using it to undermine family values and basic morals

- Infiltrating the US government and using our foreign policy to push the agenda of the Jews, including sending Americans to many wars in the Middle East

- Producing and distributing pornography

- Pushing feminism as a way to undermine the family

- Promoting and normalizing homosexuality

- Pushing the tranny and child tranny agenda

- Using the “civil rights movement” to promote racial strife

- Pushing mass immigration with the explicit goal of making whites minorities in their own countries

- Pushing mass censorship, not just of criticism of the Jews directly, but of all Jewish agendas

- Pushing abortion

- Pushing for gun control

- Creating communism

- Engaging in usury-oriented financial swindles through the Federal Reserve system and Wall Street

- Engaging in widespread political corruption, including through AIPAC, which bribes politicians who pledge allegiance to Israel and destroys politicians who don’t

- The list obviously goes on.

And of course, we could talk about these issues. I am open to talking to the Jews about these issues, and hearing their explanations as to why they are engaged in these behaviors.

However, the Jews have no interest in talking about any of these issues. Instead, they simply want to silence anyone who asks why they are engaged in these behaviors, so they label them “antisemite.”"

[justinsentertainmentcorner]

Miles Klee at Rolling Stone:

YOU CAN’T PLEASE all the people all of the time — even if you’re as popular as Taylor Swift. Having attained a somehow higher level of mega-celebrity with her record-breaking Eras Tour and a closely followed romance with Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs (who are headed back to the Super Bowl as the defending NFL champs), the singer now faces the perplexing wrath of MAGA conspiracy theorists who have decided the league and the relationship are rigged to help Joe Biden’s chances in the 2024 presidential election. The premise is as disconnected from reality as it sounds, but it’s all the stranger given that this courtship between a pop icon and football star — both white, Christian, good-looking, wholesome public figures — should fit the all-American conservative ideal. And Swift herself long retained her mass appeal with a mostly apolitical presence on the world stage, only voicing liberal positions and endorsing a select few Democrats from 2018 onward. But it was, in part, this late entry into civic discourse that allowed right-wingers to sell themselves a narrative of Swift as a propaganda puppet, after years in which some ardently worshiped her as a blonde, blue-eyed avatar for white supremacy. Here’s the complete timeline of how the far right fell in, and out of, love with Taylor Swift.    

Pre-2016: Country Roots

Swift came up in the Nashville scene, from the age of 14, as a country singer-songwriter inspired by the likes of Dolly Parton and Shania Twain. Her debut single, “Tim McGraw,” alluded to her love of another country legend — and her early hits climbed the genre’s charts along with heartland tunes full of cowboy twang and pickup trucks. Whatever the identities of individual performers, this music has always been conservative-coded, and its biggest names have rarely shied away from an aggressive style of red-meat patriotism. Swift, of course, was a teenager singing about innocent young love: She only happened to suit the fantasy of a small-town girl next door that informs so much Americana. (And she certainly didn’t have Parental Advisory stickers on her CDs.) It was when she started to drift from these roots on Red (2012), and fully embraced electronic pop with 1989 (2014), that fans could begin to think of her as totally distinct from the traditionalist milieu of her early career. The latter’s “Welcome to New York” signaled a new, cosmopolitan life far from the backroads of country radio. In fact, a civilian Donald Trump was blasting the album’s second single, “Blank Space,” while driving around with wife Melania and son Barron, as seen in a 2014 video Melania shared on her Facebook page [...]

The ascendant alt-right, shitposters by nature, saw a chance to disingenuously claim Swift for their own, as both a secret Trump supporter and neo-Nazi. (It didn’t seem to matter that she had previously expressed her happiness at Barack Obama taking the White House in 2008, her first election.) The attempt to rebrand her had older, murky origins, including 4chan in-jokes and a Pinterest user who in 2013 went viral for images falsely attributing Hitler quotes to Swift, but picked up steam as Trump did. Andrew Anglin, founder of the white supremacist website the Daily Stormer, declared her an “aryan goddess,” while Milo Yiannopoulos, in a column for Breitbart, explained why she was an “alt-right pop icon,” noting her whiteness, blondeness, unrevealing clothes, lack of piercings, and occasional mini-scandals over music videos accused of racist undertones. It probably didn’t help that Swift endorsed neither Hillary Clinton nor Trump, leaving room for misinformation about how she secretly voted for the GOP candidate. Following Trump’s victory, some Democrats vented their frustration at Swift’s silence during the campaign, believing she could have moved the needle for Clinton. [...]

In the following months, the #MeToo movement shed light on how often sexual misconduct is dismissed or covered up to the perpetrator’s benefit, and Swift became one of the founding signatories of Time’s Up, an advocacy group for survivors, and donated to its legal defense fund.  None of this was likely to endear Swift to conservatives who had already begun to argue that #MeToo had “gone too far,” yet she continued to press the issue, gracing the cover of Time’s Person of the Year issue along with fellow “silence breakers.” And the next year, she finally waded into electoral politics, sharing on Instagram that she would be backing Democratic congressional candidates in Tennessee for the 2018 midterms. [...]

2019-2020: The Activist

By 2019, Swift’s politics were no mystery. She was openly in favor of gun-control reform, took a pro-choice stance against government attempts to crack down on abortion, gave a surprise performance at New York’s Stonewall Inn for that year’s Pride celebration, and urged the senate to pass anti-discrimination laws. Any far-right fan clinging to the notion that she harbored extremist views would’ve been in clinical denial. For the most part, conservative commentators got in the habit of attacking her as they would any other liberal entertainer with a massive platform. Ben Shapiro, for one, complained of her “abrupt and obviously pandering shift into a political wokescold.”    At last, Swift also formally denounced any admiration from the racist far right in a cover story interview with Rolling Stone. “There’s literally nothing worse than white supremacy,” she said. “It’s repulsive. There should be no place for it.” She explained that she feared a 2016 endorsement of Hillary Clinton could have backfired, since Clinton’s celebrity support was “used against her in a lot of ways.” As for conservatives who had once assumed she was on their side, she quipped, “I don’t think they do anymore.” [...]

2021-2024: Taylor Derangement Syndrome

The “aryan goddess” interpretation of Swift had been more or less put to bed by the time Biden assumed office. But the reorganizing MAGA right had little reason to single her out among the legions of professional entertainers who express their distaste for Trump here and there. She didn’t endorse candidates in the 2022 midterms, either, though she did communicate her dismay at the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Conservatives who bothered to take a swipe at her tended toward lazy outrage bait: calling her boring, overrated, or a lonely cat lady (mind you, she was in a long-term relationship with actor Joe Alwyn that was heavily covered by the tabloids). In 2021, Swift embarked on the formidable project of rerecording her first six studio albums after the rights to that catalog were sold to a company run by controversial music mogul Scooter Braun, and released the hit record Midnights in 2022.

It was in 2023 that American conservatism launched into an enduring freakout about Swift, her cultural dominance, and her potential influence on voters. Anyone dimly aware of the Eras Tour — an unprecedented run of sold-out stadium shows — could see she had reached another pinnacle of success, and amassed a near-cultish audience of millions who hung on her every utterance. We got plenty of think pieces on whether this was a good or bad phenomenon, with varied musings on how Swift had created her own monoculture. The sheer saturation of Taylor content was enough to irk those less disposed to her vibe — and there were gripes about that, too.

[...] The release of The Tortured Poets Departmentlast Friday, April 19, inevitably (and unfortunately) brought a new round of grousing. Sean Feucht,  the far-right “MAGA Pastor,” raised the alarm on social media, saying “half the songs” on the album “contain explicit lyrics (E), make fun of Christians, and straight up blaspheme God.” And lest you think he’s “just being religious & overreacting,” Feucht shared several apparently offending lyrics that certainly dabble in classic religious imagery, but in the most basic, writerly way imaginable. Among the most harrowing lines, to Feucht: “I would’ve died for your sins, instead I just died inside” (from “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived”); “What If I roll the stone away / They’re gonna crucify me anyway” (“Guilty as Sin”); and “God save the most judgmental creeps / Who say they want what’s best for me / Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I’ll never see,” from “But Daddy I Love Him,” which definitely seems more critical of Swift’s own fans than an entire religion.  And, of course, Shapiro got back in on the action as well with a YouTube video dubbed, “Taylor Swift’s New Album Is GARBAGE” and nuanced opinions like, “Can we stop pretending she’s high art?” and, “She’s so tortured that she’s worth billions of dollars for singing songs that are most appropriately sung by 16 and 17 year old girls.” 

Rolling Stone has an in-depth report on the timeline of Taylor Swift's career that led to the eventual right-wing sour grapes-fueled culture war against her, especially in the last few years or so.

El punto de vista chino de un trumpista, dice mucho de la sociedad norteamericana (hace un año sonreiríamos al leer esto): Durante años he intentado explicar que todo es mejor en China que en Estados Unidos. La diferencia es tan enorme que si un estadounidense criado con propaganda caricaturesca sobre su lugar de nacimiento como "el mejor país del mundo" visita China, puede desencadenar una grave crisis personal... Simplemente estoy señalando la cuestión objetiva de que China es un país superior para vivir y que el sistema chino es capaz de mucho más que Estados Unidos... si usted escuchara que en un país tres de cada cuatro personas tienen un sobrepeso peligroso, mientras que en otro la cifra es de una de cada veinte, probablemente supondría que el país con la tasa de obesidad más baja es mejor en muchos otros aspectos... El año pasado, en pleno auge del genocidio cometido por los judíos contra el pueblo de Gaza, el Congreso de Estados Unidos votó a favor de prohibir la aplicación de redes sociales TikTok, porque los chinos estaban convirtiendo a los estadounidenses en antisemitas al permitirles ver videos de las atrocidades en Gaza que estaban siendo bloqueados por las empresas de redes sociales occidentales... una ola de usuarios estadounidenses de TikTok protestaron descargando “RedNote”, una aplicación china diseñada para uso doméstico... Los estadounidenses que usaron RedNote pudieron ver por primera vez la verdadera China y se sorprendieron al ver que la vida en Estados Unidos es mucho más difícil... La semana pasada, los chinos lanzaron el equivalente a una bomba nuclear sobre Estados Unidos al lanzar su modelo de inteligencia artificial DeepSeek para uso público... Cuando digo que China tiene más libertad que Estados Unidos, no me refiero simplemente a que los policías no son matones psicópatas. También hago hincapié en el hecho de que la asociación del gobierno estadounidense con grandes corporaciones ha permitido a estas corporaciones utilizar el poder del gobierno para aplastar la competencia de las empresas más pequeñas, lo que, además de garantizar que la riqueza permanezca en unas pocas manos, destruye el ingenio (Andrew Anglin)

Who the fuck is anglin, and how is he connected to the cutie patootie Mr Fuentes? I watched a clip of him in a podcast saying he wasnt connected to him in ahy way and that he himself isnt a pedo.

I only know fuentes from some podcasts hes done so im kinda new to the scene

andrew anglin is the founder of the daily stormer (i.e. a neo-nazi website), he's linked to nick through shared alt-right and white nationalist circles. he's been around for a looong ass time and started praising nick in nick's early career i believe and in the context of the post you're talking about, also 'redpilled' nick on the age of consent. idk much about it tbh, but they're not friends at all anymore and i don't think nick is actually a pedo LMAO

welcome though! i just looked at your profile, a polish femboy fag with an ed? you might be nick's type

X(formerly Twitter)

For my last Tumblr post I decided to focus on X(formerly known as Twitter) and more specifically, how Elon Musk has changed it for the worse. Elon Musk initiated his purchase of Twitter back in April 14 2022, and finalized his purchase on October 27 2022. Since then, there have been a multitude of poor decisions by Musk that have alienated many of his users. Some of the controversial decisions that he has made include unbanning a multitude of controversial users and backtracking on many of the promises he has made such as stepping down as CEO(which took nearly 6 months). Some of the users who were unbanned include Ye(formerly Kanye West), Donald Trump, known neo-nazi Andrew Anglin, and Andrew Tate. These decisions by Musk generate a huge discussion regarding race and cultural diversity. Ye for example has been in the news the past few years for his increasing antisemitism. In fact, Ye was re-banned only weeks after being reinstated for posting the nazi symbol intertwined with the star of david. Also, former President Trump has now been given a platform to push his political agenda, causing many users to quit twitter altogether because they do not agree with his radical agendas. The reinstatement of accounts such as these with terrible messages about hate and racism do not belong on a social media site and people with these kinds of agendas should not be given a platform. However, Musk seems to think that the reinstatement of these accounts are just a part of freedom of speech. The issue at hand relates to the course readings by creating discussion about if the people reinstated really deserve a platform and creating real discussion about the effect the accounts at hand have on people of color and certain religions. Ye, for example, has been immensely anti semitic towards jewish people and has been very open about his strange admiration for Hitler. Twitter(X) has gone from a place where people  have been able to openly share their opinions, news, etc. to a place where people can openly share hatred about race, religion, and cultures that they feel are not as “superior” as their own.

Séance #13 X ou le paradis des insultes et menaces

N’avez-vous jamais eu ce sentiment de tristesse, de colère ou d’animosité grandissante au bout de quelques scroll sur votre compte X ? Personnellement, cela m’arrive tous les jours. Il me semble aujourd’hui impossible, dès lors qu’un compte X possède un minimum d’abonnés ou qu’il s’intéresse à un sujet d’actualité ou d’intérêt public, que ses messages ou post ne soient victimes de messages d’insultes ou de menaces. Même sur des sujets plus intimes ou carrément de la sphère privée, on a l’impression que certaines personnes se plaisent à venir exprimer intentionnellement un avis contraire à la personne, en se moquant, intimidant ou menaçant. Dès lors, naviguer sur X devient anxiogène, tellement chaque discussion twitter est empli de négativité et d’aigreur. Même sans être l’auteur de tweets, parcourir des dizaines de messages d’intimidation, de menaces chaque jour, vous plonge vous-même dans une sphère de négativité. Notre santé mentale en est dès lors la première victime.

Ce sentiment me semble encore plus exacerbé depuis le rachat de la plateforme par Elon Musk, courant 2022. En effet, depuis que le milliardaire américain en est devenu propriétaire, de nombreux comptes autrefois bannis ont pu faire leur retour. C’est notamment le cas de Donald Trump par exemple, ou de Andrew Anglin, banni de la plateforme en 2023. Néo-nazi américain, il a notamment fondé un site Internet suprémaciste blanc et antijuif. De nombreux comptes complotistes ont également fait leur retour. Avec le retour de ces internautes, les messages racistes et homophobes notamment sont notamment en hausse selon une étude.

En effet, selon le centre d’analysé de la haine numérique, on estime que les insultes homophobes sont en hausse de 40 %, les insultes racistes de 200 % et les insultes antisémites de 60 %.  Difficile dès lors de rester de marbre, face à de tels messages, et à cette brutalisation des échanges. De nombreuses personnes ont ainsi pris la décision de quitter la plateforme face à la déferlante de messages d’insultes ou de menaces, dans le but de se protéger et de préserver leur santé mentale. Dans un article, Radio-Canada rapporte que de nombreux scientifiques ont quitté l’application depuis son rachat. Peter Gleick, un spécialiste du climat et de l'eau suivi par près de 99 000 personnes sur Twitter, a annoncé le 21 mai qu'il ne publierait plus de messages sur la plateforme, l'accusant d'amplifier le racisme et le sexisme. Certains sont par exemple partis sur Mastodon, une nouvelle plateforme qui tente de concurrencer Twitter.

Nick is not that unforgiving, he forgave Ted Feaser, Andrew Wilson and JF Gariépy. Recently even threw Andrew Anglin a bone. And these fights were much worse than whatever he had with Keith. I'm glad they made up at last but this was much more of an ego thing at this point than about forgiveness LOL

Oh yes! I actually remember now! I remember I even posted the clip of him forgiving Teddy Feaser a few weeks ago! (link) I alluded to in the caption that I’d hope Nick could extend that same forgiveness he once shown for others to Keith if you couldn’t tell 🤭

I’m just glad it’s over. This beef stressed me out way too much for its and my own good #parasocial 😭 at the same time, I guess I am happy that it made me as attached to Keith as I am now, that wouldn’t have happened without the fallout happening in the first place. And now, with Nick forgiving Keith, and Keith alluding to bringing back WoodsTown—my favorite Saturday show—back with Paul Town, it looks like things are looking up! I’m so happy and excited, anon! 😁❤️

This is from a news article regarding Tucker Carlson’s response to the pro-abortion riots. The author of that article made a good point, one which I have been contemplating in recent months.

“Tucker was not raised especially religious. The same can probably be said for most of us. And yet, here we are, under attack as Christians, and forced to become more Christian because of these attacks.

That is absolutely the upside to being attacked like this. These people in charge believe now that Christians are so weak – so debased by pornography and the rest of the pervert culture – that they can simply wipe us out.

What it must do is cause people to reflect, and to understand that they must strengthen their faith if they want to be able to stand against this agenda.

Right now, we don’t have any choice. Right now, they are already coming for us.

We can either find God or we will be wiped out.”

He is right about that. For many years, I have not considered myself to be a practising Christian. Yet, here I am, likely on my way to becoming one. To paraphrase something else that this man has said, as one discovers the truth, he finds that it always leads to God. One cannot truly stand for what is right without also standing with God.

Chinese people are noting that the transfer of power in Afghanistan was smoother than the transfer of power in the United States.

…

Whereas there was an election hoax in the United States, and many big problems surrounding it, the Taliban just peacefully rolled into Kabul, and the “President” of the “Afghan Government” peacefully fled to his home nation of Tajikistan.

…

Ben Shapiro, the little Jew rat, is out there agreeing with Nancy Pelosi on CIA talking points but saying she’s not doing enough to support the CIA agenda.

…

Anyway… Joe Biden claimed this was impossible!

…

The entire intelligence establishment claimed there would be three months of fighting to take Kabul. Instead, it was a peaceful march that took less than 24 hours.

…

Even I was sitting here saying “surely, they can’t just march right in…?”

But they did!

We even got our glorious Saigon evacuation scene.

…

This is the single biggest disaster in the entire history of the American Empire.

But you have to ask: why on earth did Joe Biden allow this to happen?

What is the plan for all of these resources that were being squandered in Afghanistan for no clear reason?

Are they going to start a war with Russia? China?

Or are they going to invade the United States?

They’re going to do something, or else there is no way on earth they would have allowed this brutal and humiliating spectacle to take place.

So be warned: something is coming next.

Something very, very bad.

They didn’t do this for no reason.

ik you're more interested in nicks psychology... why do you think hes so drawn to friendship with keith? he did seem more forgiving go him than he would be to others and always spoke so fondly about his time w him... ik he says his calm demeanor balances him but is there some other reason

i’ve been thinking about this. the “he’s calm so he balances me” thing is definitely plays into it, they have this yin/yang dynamic, the fact that keith can endure nick's constant banter & teasing (which has clearly caused some rifts before... LOL.) but there is more to it, related to trust, safety, etc, and that became quite apparent in their fallout and how they've now made up now

every major friendship nick has had has ended in some kind of betrayal narrative, and they all follow the same pattern. but with keith, it was different. even when they were fighting (or not talking, or whatever the fuck that weird silent psychological game was), nick never fully committed to the bit. sure, he took playful jabs at keith quite frequently recently, but he kept the door open in a lot of ways. he wanted keith to come back, i mean, his attention-seeking behaviour on stream really speaks to that for me

but why? because after they fell out, keith left quietly, he didn’t subtweet, he didn’t go on fucking kino casino, or someone's stream and shittalk nick. he didn’t try to upstage him, he just disappeared. and nick, who is always waiting for the knife behind the back, was shocked to find that it never came. you could argue that the text's with slayter prove that keith did 'backstab' nick, but honestly, it was never that deep. keith didn't go out of his way to publicly humiliate nick, and kept it private between someone he thought he could trust, even if it was a stupid decision from his part. other people tried so hard to create more drama because keith didn't want to, and nick saw that for what it was, and didn't blame keith for it

i think keith makes nick feel safe in a way most people don’t. keith clearly isn’t interested in exposing him. he sees nick’s narcissism, his instability, and he doesn’t flinch. and for someone like nick, who is afraid of being unmasked, that kind of gaze feels like mercy. we've seen nick talking about how he feels afraid to open up to people, as they might use it to try and humiliate him, but he knows that this is something keith wouldn't do, so he feels more comfortable in letting his guard down around keith, without having to worry how that might be (publicly) used against him

i think it's worth noting that i do think nick is maturing recently in some ways, e.g. his telegram post to andrew anglin, so i think that definitely plays into his tendency to forgive keith and overall, valuing a stable and healthy friendship like that more "i think we'll be friends forever :')"

finally... we’ve all seen it on nick's stream a few days ago, the bashful smile, the tone shift, the way nick physically softens. people call it "puppy love" for a reason. it’s not sexual (well....) but it’s definitely a kind of yearning, something almost primal, in the way it bypasses language entirely. maybe it's about safety in its pure essence, nick’s been surrounded by people who either want to become him or destroy him. keith doesn’t seem interested in either, and that might provide a feeling of security for someone like nick. but it's funny how it works, everyone else had to beg to stay. keith’s the only one who walked away and still got invited back in, really does make you think
