This actual trad dad lawyer makes a compelling case that it's a core issue:

And it was more a comment on the college and not Nick being an average 2023 Catholic.
I tend to see his argument as a more general 'relaxation of social mores' and most people run to sexual profligacy (the subject of some of the harshest taboos in Western society) when social restraint is relaxed.
I personally think that the consequences of the abuse of sexual norms is one of the most damaging things to both the individual and society beucase of the dire consequences. It is something deep in our programming that should not be messed with.
He had a writing (creative writing, iirc) degree [from a marginal school], not an English degree.
General comment: idr what college he ended up going to, but no Christian school is going to be against married people living together.
Further, if they really did live in Section 8 housing, that is despicable. There are people who actually need subsidized housing to survive, and for a literal trust fund baby to take a spot is vile.
I suspect fabrication, and if not, then Nick is a multi-decade lazy grifter and no one should have been so stupid as to think well of him. If anyone was, I hope they've learned a lesson. Nick's general background was and is readily available; it didn't take KF to reveal it. I personally don't have more than a year's familiarity with the man, but my instincts and assessments of him from day 1 of my awareness have all borne out. And I'm one of the least cynical people ever. He was, is, and likely will always be a lawyer in name only, a grifter, and an all-around shallow, callow person. There is nothing there to admire or appreciate. At all.
I am fairly certain that he went to a state school, but I would have to dig back through the thread.
Also, I am not sure what difference there is between an English and Creative Writing degree. Maybe the former reads most literature?
About the housing situation, I would not be surprised if there is some fabrication. How many times has he said 'I bought me house' when recently he revealed that he knew his schooling and housing would eventually be paid for becuase of his family?
@Geared Chris gave a timestamp for it, and he comes off to me as as if playing down his own safety net that most of his audience could never imagine having. The context was a comparison to Trump, and of course he looks like a small fry next to that kind of money.
Nick has been tweeting, so I'm wondering what excuse if any he will make on Locals.
Maybe he's recording his Locals YouTube Boot Camp?
Wondering if this meeting had anything to do with the lawsuit.
Possibly. .. I would think that any kind of local council would not be out in the sticks with Nick (given his money he is spending on Randazza) and he would at least get a a reasonable one from the Cities. He goes there often enough.
I am still waiting to mock his YT grift lessons as well. It was supposed to be recorded last weekend. He even mentioned taking recording equipment with him to do it.
I don't see how he'd qualify with outright fraud. I believe there's also mixed-income housing where paid and subsidized housing people share a building, though.
His parents, perhaps, wanting to teach him responsibility? I know moneyed people who have half a clue how destructive it can be wanting their children to learn fiscal responsibility. I am not sure how I feel about these wealthy people using public welfare as a schoolmarm for their bratty children, but I admire the sentiment of not wanting them to be total arses.
I am leaning toward the side of thinking they failed raising them, and this tactic is draconian last measure.
The latter. Nick doesn't blatantly lie on specifics like that. He knows someone here might drill down into it.
Correct. He just obscures. You cannot take everything he says at face value.
i think nick's current situation goes back to getting married young. it only works in a society where the culture, as a whole, that buys into the marring young. do we currently live in a society that believes in this, especially with the internet and social media?
It is definitely a cultural shift and fracturing of shared ideals at play. Monoculture has its benefits, and I believe that we have seen multiculturalism fail many times over becuase it allows people to puck amd choose a weird mishmash of rules they want to follow.
I believe Nick has done this: he picks and chooses the aspects of his faith and culture he likes (e.g. he likes the songs at his church, but not the message; he likes conservative policies, but not the 'prude' ones; etc...) At first it might seem thoughtful, buy in the end it is revealed that people released from social restraint will lizard brain into sex, drugs, and pleasure and recreate the famous rat paradise experiment spontaneously.
