He repeats the belief that drugs should be legal because only hurting people with those substances--like alcohol. Being on probation, as he is now, does not change that belief.
It was motivated by their concern about his relationship with April. They got the government to police his personal relationship.
Nick votes on tax policy and anti-war bases. He does not really care who wins.
Nick was treated with undue hostility by the lead investigator (Quin Pomplun)
Every word that oozes out of Nick's mouth just makes me more and more certain that you simply cannot share a society with Libertarians.
He's so fucking childish. So fucking selfish. So short-sighted. He has no care or consideration for anyone else—not even
his own fucking children.
He cannot comprehend that he endangered them. He doesn't care that he dosed one of them. He doesn't even consider that it
might be true, and that he might have actually been wrong in his belief that the test was fake or he didn't do it or whatever story he's saying today. He doesn't even stop and go, "oh fuck, maybe it really
was me, maybe I actually did something horrible. Maybe I did it accidentally, but it was still under my watch, with my drugs, so it would've been my fault."
His
sole focus is figuring out what he needs to say so that he can worm his way out of whatever trouble he's in, so that he can go back to being a hedonist.
He doesn't care about what it does to his kids for them to have to see their parents being obviously unfaithful, or constantly high, or in a weird fucked-up threesome relationship. He doesn't care about how disrupting a family would affect the stability of the rest of his community, and I'm sure that he can't understand
why that would be the case. He can't comprehend that other people might perceive what he was doing as something inherently negative which needed to be stopped for everyone's sake.
He just cares that it was
fun, and that
he wanted to do it.
That's as far as his thought process goes on any of this. His mind is working on the same level as your average inner-city youth who robs a liquor store.
Nick cannot even understand that the cops were hostile toward him because of
his own actions. This motherfucker's brain doesn't work.
I feel like young Hitler in Vienna, slowly but inexorably learning to hate a certain group of people.
Lolberts to the camps. They are a subversive element who damage the communities they're in and cannot be trusted.
He now loves his audience and he "didn't appreciate how invested people were and how they participated".
It's because all of the stuff that he was doing was just
his stuff. He cannot comprehend that anyone else would care about infidelity or drug use or child endangerment. His brain physically does not work in such a way that he can understand it.
Now the government is telling him he cannot do what he thinks is fun now.
Because the thing that he wants to "do" for fun is
April.
Also the 107 degree temperature was true!
Hell, maybe it was—and
that's what gave him the brain damage that he so obviously has.
he's not gonna make it is he?
Nope! Not a fucking chance.
