Former groyper here. I was a groyper until Friday's stream. The bullshit has been piling up for months, so that was merely the straw that broke the camel's back. I have gone to several groyper meetups in the past. I'm a millennial, so I was not too deeply involved in the social aspect of AF. I donated over $1k over the course of a couple years. I ran a relatively popular groyper account on Gab until Friday.
Increasingly, I hated the way Nick shit on normal people. Those are the target. There can only be one leader, but why would that leader hate the entirety of their base? Society attacks normal White men as a matter of course, so we don't need it from the dissident right. The way super chatters on his show have to tip toe around his ego when they're donating to the cause is also a major turn off. Actually, I think you can view his behavior toward super chatters as a proxy for what it is probably like to try to talk to him in real life. A lot of people think he is being mean as a joke, but slowly I realized he isn't feigning the disdain.
The most damning part of the kino casino stream, from my standpoint, was Nick's behavior at the anti-vax rally in New York. He sat on TikTok for nine days and had to be pressured to show up to an event that was core to his platform. Before the past few months, I was basically convinced Nick had the potential to achieve great political goals. What happened to the AF candidates? What happened to the AF college chapters? What happened to fighting Joe Kent? What happened to the college speaking tour? What makes you so late to every night's stream? Nick is enriching himself and using money to fuel his ego instead of accomplishing goals all of his followers want. This is despite having an extremely dedicated group of FREE volunteers working tirelessly. I think Simon embellished and told some half-truths on the stream, but why, as your only paid employee, was he only making $20k/year?
I will still watch him as an interesting host that talks about my viewpoints on stream, but I am done thinking this is some sort of serious political movement or that Nick will accomplish anything political. If you want to donate because you like what he talks about, that's fine. If you donate because you think you're making an actual political difference, please stop kidding yourself. Has anyone in politics ever shit on normal people as badly as Nick?
and then says he and his mom watched a Wurzelroot stream together, which just seems strange but whatever. Then Nick goes into a passionate defense of site traffic. Even weirder, there's a whole section where Nick and Beardson talk about how awesome America First is, how lucky they are to be a part of it, how if they weren't apart of if they would literally kill themselves. Beardson almost goes to pains to say how awesome Nick and America First are, and Nick seems to test his loyalty by asking more ridiculous questions. He spends so much time talking about the guy in the America First hat praying the rosary outside the church with the abortion protesters. Talking about how awesome it is that Gosar and MTG retweeted it, basically taking sole credit for it himself, acting as if none of that would've happened without him.
