(110,385 posts)32. Vance "can't be worse?" Really? Peter Thiel/Curtis Yarvin's "little B..tch?"
Curtis Yarvin who doesnt want to fix democracy he wants to kill it, drag the corpse out back, and set it on fire. In its place, he envisions a cold, ruthless world where billionaires sit on thrones, governments operate like customer service hotlines, and power belongs exclusively to those with the deepest pockets. Its not a conspiracy theory its a blueprint, and many of Silicon Valleys richest men seem more than willing to help turn this vision into a reality.
Welcome to the warped mind of Curtis Yarvin. FROM "MENCUS MOLDBUG" TO CREATING A NEW WORLD ORDER

Vance has become their creation. He is the junior high school "nerd" whose only hope of "breaking out" and gaining acceptance was to align himself with the bullies--whomever they might be. He thought he could become them by going to war with the military (though he had a clerical role and was protected throughout from combat), and he was smart enough to attend Harvard and to leverage his childhood into a lauded book/movie. He's not a dumb man by any means, but insecure as hell, and that makes him easily manipulated AND DANGEROUS.

Tomorrow means nothing. Lindsey Graham spoke out against January 6th once too.

Exactly. Which supposedly anti-war Republican is initiating a bill to replace Trump?

Remember, Peter Thiel is J.D. Vance's handler. He is investing in authoritarianism.
