JD Vance is an Authoritarian Loon

[Toro]

That's too bad, because Hillbilly Elegy is a fascinating book.

Too bad he believes in authoritarian statism.

I remember when Republicans used to believe in individual liberty and freedom. Now Republicans believe in using state power to punish their enemies and engineer society just like, well, Marxists and socialists.

In 2008, a software developer in San Francisco named Curtis Yarvin, writing under a pseudonym, proposed a horrific solution for people he deemed “not productive”: “convert them into biodiesel, which can help power the Muni buses.” ...​

​

Way back in 2012, in a speech on “How to Reboot the US Government,” [Yarvin] said, “If Americans want to change their government, they’re going to have to get over their dictator phobia.” He had also written favorably of slavery and white nationalists in the late 2000s ...​

​

Since entering politics, Vance has publicly praised—and parroted—Yarvin’s ideas. ...​

​

Yarvin is the chief thinker behind an obscure but increasingly influential far-right neoreaction, or NRx, movement, that some call the “Dark Enlightenment.” Among other things, it openly promotes dictatorships as superior to democracies and views nations like the United States as outdated software systems. Yarvin seeks to reengineer governments by breaking them up into smaller entities called “patchworks,” which would be controlled by tech corporations.​

You know, Big Tech. Doesn't Trump's base hate Big Tech? Not if they are punishing their enemies through state power!

Citizens would be free to move, but every other realm would also be ruled by corporate governments with chilling impunity. For example, Yarvin says the tech overlords of the San Francisco realm could arbitrarily decide to cut off its citizens’ hands with no fear of legal consequences​

Sounds like the Taliban!

In “Friscorp,” as Yarvin calls the San Francisco realm, an all-seeing Orwellian surveillance system would enforce public safety: “All residents, even temporary visitors, carry an ID card with RFID response. All are genotyped and iris-scanned. Public places and transportation systems track everyone. Security cameras are ubiquitous. Every car knows where it is, and who is sitting in it, and tells the authorities both.”​

It's funny when so-called Tea Party members and "libertarians" support authoritarianism. LOL

Where J.D. Vance Gets His Weird, Terrifying Techno-Authoritarian Ideas

Yes, Peter Thiel was the senator’s benefactor. But they’re both inspired by an obscure software developer who has some truly frightening thoughts about reordering society.

Too many Trumpers on this board consider what the OP posted a plus. There are plenty of Trumpers on this board who sing the praises of Augusto Pinochet not to mention Putin.

It’s what they do. Yell about losing democracy while cheating and making sure they can undermine democracy. No ID, no law against illegals voting etc.

You would think they would be embarrassed by constantly doing the things they accuse others of doing. Maybe they are incapable of feeling embarrassed, or shame clearly or remorse.

Democrats made it up.

Made up that Vance said he'd wouldn't have certified the election results??

Nope

JD Vance says he's wouldn't have certified 2020 race until states submitted pro-Trump electors

Sen. JD Vance on Sunday defended Trump as the former president faces a litany of legal issues amid his comeback campaign for the White House

abcnews.go.com

"If I had been vice president, I would have told the states, like Pennsylvania, Georgia and so many others, that we needed to have multiple slates of electors and I think the U.S. Congress should have fought over it from there," he continued. "That is the legitimate way to deal with an election that a lot of folks, including me, think had a lot of problems in 2020. I think that's what we should have done."

Embarrassment takes morals. They rejected those with Clinton.

The election results were phony. They should have been verified.

Pinochet was much better than Castro.
