What? Can j get a bit more co text on this?
Sure. Two Superchats asked for birthday toasts because he missed their birthdays last year. He said something like "Oh, I must have been at the art show." Chat had to remind him that he was banned on YT a year ago. I haven't fact-checked the dates but that sounds about right. He seems to have blocked it from his memory.
Is this like, a joke, or...? Maybe he just said the thing about the death penalty to own josh epic style in their argument?
Nope he was serious.
He's completely guideless on faith, politics - everything. I read closely the post recently (sorry forget which poster) that said that the problem with going rogue on your religion is that you lose all foundation for almost anything. As something of a cafeteria Christian myself, it was compelling, particularly for Nick. For example:
Life Issues:
At least Catholics are consistent. No abortion and no capital punishment. The sanctity of life must always be prioritized. Nick used to proselytize this. Now?
1) Capital Punishment - I'm paraphrasing "Well if we're gonna have capital punishment we should include pedos because they destroy the kids who will have no life." I wonder how all the survivors of child sexual abuse who have gotten help and built up their lives would feel about that death sentence from Nick.
2) Medical Abortion - He's recently said that it's far different from a medical procedure and should not be regulated by the government.
Libertarian Issues:
His recent rants on Trump effectively being a monarch are baffling to me. For someone who previously believed all government should be small and highly limited by checks, balances, the Constitution, the press, whatever...Nick's current stand is basically this: there is nothing in the Constitution that limits Presidential authority. Hence, no lawsuits or vote by Congress that he's unfit to serve (his Twitter 14th Amendment take) should stand. (He does leave some room for SCOTUS to ring in.)
Anyway, this thread is not the place to discuss politics, particularly. My point is that he's totally lacking in any internal consistency re morality, politics, and cultural issues. I know, a blinding flash of the obvious.
