If Nick wants to build his own loyal following then why hop onto the Ye train? Most people here can see that this is a train wreck and it'll only last a few months. He could continue grifting the Trump train until Nov 2024. He's been doing that since 2018 despite everyone in the alt-right calling him a retard. Yes; Nick is dishonest and employs cognitive dissonance but he's also making bad decisions, Nick has a pattern of making poor decisions and being 1 step behind the curve and that is a sign of low IQ.All these things can just as easily be explained by him being purposefully vague, dishonest and cultivating a specific audience and flunkies, which people in his line of work (lol) are wont to do. The qualities you attribute to a "low IQ" person are also misplaced. Someone branches off from the mainstream of his in-group in a conspicuous act of rebranding and gravitates towards dumber and easily manipulated individuals? That's not the behaviour of an imbecile but of someone of normal intelligence looking to build his own loyal following. It's the behaviour of a cult leader.
It isn't like he lacks to faculties to realize that he's being self-contradicting, he knows he is but he either justifies or ignores his past statements. It's cognitive dissonance and any person of any level of intelligence can fall prey to it.
Nick's talked shit about the blacks plenty of times too, yet he idolizes and now works for Kanye. What do you think is more likely: he's too fucking stupid to realize that Ye is black, or that he's rationalized this incongruity away because he has motives to do so?
120 IQ isn't "low" by any metric. It's the upper 10% of the population, above 130 we're talking like 2%. In either case, it doesn't jive with your characterisation of him. You're presenting Nick as someone who lacks the capacity to give a straight answer or explain his own beliefs. That doesn't fall within the 120-130 range, that's someone who is legitimately borderline retarded.
Your weirdass ill-informed obsession with this 120-130 "low IQ" thing further bugs me because it, by implication, means that you think that you yourself have an IQ above 130. A pathetic humblebrag were it not for the fact that it's obvious bullshit.
Nah, I think we're already pretty good at recognizing it.
IQ 130 (roughly 120-135) is high on paper but functionally retarded in leadership position. These are people who excel at memorizing dogma, talking points and concepts for a test. They can be good tutors for a test or debate bros online (like Vaush or Destiny) or managers, professional manager class, but the limits of their intelligence become obvious when they're put in leadership positions and they must chart uncharted paths. With regards to Nick, this manifests in him seeming smart when he recites /pol/tard, alt-right, dogma but his actual choices show that he is a brainlet.
Yes, my IQ is 145+ and I can tell that Nick is dumb, just like you can tell that Baked Alaska and Ye are dumb. When you're smarter than someone, it's obvious to you that they're stupid. People are calling Nick a faggot and a spic but the most important term is brainlet. People like yourself can't tell that his guy is dumb and that's a huge problem.
