I never talked to Nick directly outside of briefly meeting him in person. He's much harder to get a hold of than people think. You have to go through an undefined chain-of-command which means going through Beardson, Dalton, Kai, UX, etc. which I never found interest in doing.
Originally I was going to post screen shots of all the Cozy streamers who follow me on social media, but I think it would make it too easy for groypers to find out who I am. There's reportedly an unofficial "CIA" of America First. Little teenage catboy operatives who gather intel on targets selected by AF leadership. These are just rumours I heard, that could've been all irony.
When all the Patrick Casey drama was going down, I and some others didn't think Casey did anything wrong. Why follow him though? Nick was the only leader we had and we weren't going to end up thrown under the bus and ran over like what happened to Casey. We had speculated that Nick was bragging about how "cool" he was for being on a no-fly list, being targeted for an FBI investigation, having his bank accounts frozen, etc. and that Casey, who is much more risk adverse, freaked out over this taking it more serious than it was (which was probably justified).
I don't talk to Nick directly, so I don't know his exact thoughts. I would imagine this thread has caused some serious damage to his reputation and makes his "debates" nearly impossible to win given the amount of dirt you all have collected on him here. This website and the Casino are causing major issues for AF, so does it surprise you that KW and the Casino are being framed for swatting?
