I only know of Vance what I've read in the last week or so but this is more bloviation and less actual journalism.
Trump’s veep pick overcame generational poverty and a dysfunctional family. But the life lessons he celebrates are a dead end for the rest of us.
The author never explains why JD's ideas are dead ends.
Vance outlines the only two principles he feels are important: get more money, get more power.
If you actually want to change things this is great advice.
But, he spends the majority of his political tirades against individuals themselves describing how people become reliant on a welfare state and become lazy, self-hating, and apathetic as a result.
I'd have to read his actual words to know whether this is an accurate summary. I know that his tech bro backers would probably agree with the idea that the welfare state is expensive, poorly managed and a net negative in it's current state.
Much of his rage towards immigrants...
He married an immigrant.
Vance is a new type of masculine heroine that views his brain as his greatest asset...
Having self-control, intellect and being industrious has always been a part of a healthy masculine identity. Not sure what he means by "new".
and wants taxes to stop limiting his use of it.
If you are smart and want to use your resources to change things then taxes get in your way. If on top of that you think taxes are wasted by being sent to foreign countries or subsidizing the unlawful entry and residence of foreigners on American soil then you will want to stop paying them entirely. (He talked about this a bit in his speech)
I recommend this article if you want insight on what makes him tick.
That doesn't surprise me. The left and right paradigm flattens a ton of complexity into a boolean spectrum when the reality is far more complex than that.
Failure to change with the times and to learn from scientific advancements and social improvements is a conservative trait.
Literally lolled at this. This post is in response to a "far right" Elon Musk who owns the first company to ever fire a rocket into space, retrieve and reuse it. I'm sure he's just taking credit for all the bleeding heart liberal geniuses working under him.
Is not changing your opinions with time and new info a respectable way to live your life?
🥱 Wow way to load your rebuttal to make yourself seem so erudite and above it all. The reality is that a ton of the "new info" turns out to be proven false or even to be outright lies. The reality is that you should be incredibly suspicious of "new info" because chances are it hasn't been properly vetted and could be driven by an agenda similar to how companies fund research to prove their desired conclusions.
you're massively misunderstanding the whole political spectrum but i don't have the energy
I understand that politics is multi-faceted however the chart I responded to is 2D.
maybe we should give this whole "having black people freely move around" a second thought, what do you think?
Because that's what I'm saying 🙄 Calling someone a racist or a nazi for not hating all of human history is a low-tier cop out but go ahead and take your upvotes.
liberals are not and have never been left wing
Remember I responded to a meme chart
Also for every inch the democrats have moved to the left, republicans have moved a mile to the right
This is true though. 1992 Bill Clinton would be a republican today. Biden supported a 1994 crime bill that is considered racist today. Obama didn't support gay marriage in 2008. Now liberals are fighting for sex change treatments for children. People 30 years ago would consider such an idea a grotesque absurdity.
Why do people feel the need to split hairs with these terms?
He's not splitting hairs. It's just a different value proposition. I don't like the phone number requirement either but it makes sense to your average normie who realizes SMS is exposed plaintext. Something like an anonymous seed phrase as the key to your account would confuse most people. Email would be an improvement but it's at best pseudonymous.
Democracy works by letting the people choose their leaders through voting. Not by murdering candidates before the people can exercise their right to vote.
You're "own" isn't an own at all. Prayers are important. Especially for the now deceased shooter, his family and the victims (including Trump). Lots of callousness in this thread.
It's going to be crazy when Trump gets elected, is unable to pass laws due to a stalemate in congress and then is replaced by an idiot genx/millenial four years later.
Okay boomer
