Hannity is indeed “nice”.
“Nice, it turns out, began as a negative term derived from the Latin nescius, meaning “unaware, ignorant.” This sense of “ignorant” was carried over into English when the word was first borrowed (via French) in the early 1300s. And for almost a century, nice was used to characterize a “stupid, ignorant, or foolish” person.” In Old English it meant stupid.
Modern cultures in the west are obsessed with being liked over being authentic.
