Blitzscaling J.D. Vance

Of himself and his family, J.D. Vance once wrote, “We do not like outsiders or people who are different from us, whether the difference lies in how they look, how they act, or how they talk.” That’s good to know.

No wonder Vance turned on liberalism—and, with it, the American idea of a multiracial democracy. 

Like Vance’s intellectual heroes, including his edgelord patron Peter Thiel and the pro-slavery lunatic Curtis Yarvin, Vance is now a far-right neoreactionary (or NRx), who has taken the Black Pill of despair and given up on the Enlightenment. In place of Enlightenment values, Vance is committed to a wild, thrashing rejection of democracy, the Bill of Rights, and even the baseline humanism that is the sine qua non of modern civilization.
