What's really interesting to look at is the people who've been friends or acquaintances with Nick in the past that hold mostly comparable political views but aren't maladjusted people.
The best example of that is James Allsup. James had over 450k subscribers on YouTube until he was banned in the summer of 2019. James had much better optics than Nick. He was extremely careful about what he said in the videos he uploaded to his YouTube Channel. He's not religious, and has healthy relationships with women. Within the last year or two, he got married and had a baby.
In 2017, James and Nick started a business together called America First Media. They had a once a week joint podcast called Nationalist Review. They both had an evening livestream, and then IIRC they changed to James doing a morning livestream and Nick doing an evening livestream. It didn't last long. In almost every episode you could cut the tension between the two with a knife. James began to become disillusioned with Trump and Nick was still riding Trump's dick.
In early 2018, they dissolved the business and their friendship. It was a big fight. Nick recruited his ironybro friends to attack James, but James had a much larger YouTube Channel and Twitter presence than all of them combined. IIRC, lawyers got involved.
Here's the funny part. What was the straw that broke the camel's back between the two? Optics. Nick wanted to be an edgy boy.
What's even funnier is that had Nick gotten his heartbroken ONCE by a woman he would have realized it was clearly going down the drain with James and that's why James started skipping shows.

Last I heard, they buried the hatchet but don't really talk anymore.
