Once again a winner from @Daojoan:
By maintaining a position on the far left of the political spectrum - no matter what that is - Peripheral Progressives can claim a purity of ideology uncompromised by the realities of governance. They can point to anyone who falls short of their ideal and declare them “Simps for the War Machine.” It’s a position allows them to play the perpetual critic, never risking the possibility of being wrong because they never have to prove their ideas right.

They're the political equivalent of that one friend who's always into fringe music and hates any artist who goes viral. They've got all the answers, as long as nobody asks them to actually do anything. Every policy that doesn't match their utopian wet dream gets branded as a "betrayal of true progressive values."

I've had all I can stomach of the purity race—in politics, in tech, in every corner of modern life. If you'd rather be ideologically pure in some weird idealized universe that can't exist than pitch in and help real people, just stay out of the way.

J.D. Vance in Hot Water for Praising Book Calling Liberals “Unhumans”

Donald Trump’s running mate praised a book riddled with conspiracies and calling to “crush” non-Republicans.

♦️Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (and How to Crush Them) ♦️was written by the #Pizzagate guy,
Jack #Posobiec,
and ghostwriter Joshua #Lisec,
with a foreword by the recently imprisoned MAGA movement architect Steve #Bannon.

The book supposedly tracks the opponents of conservatism throughout history and endorses a modern-day
#McCarthyism to root out the “radicals” from American institutions.

“On a base level, unhumans seek the death of the successful and the desecration of the beautiful,” Posobiec and Lisec claimed.

When comparing the Black Lives Matter movement to the French Revolution, they wrote: “There is no way to reason with those who manipulate the have-nots en masse to loot and to shoot. They simply hate those who are good-looking and successful.”

#Vance provided a glowing promotional blurb about the book, which is included on the website of right-wing publisher Skyhorse Publishing.

“In the past, communists marched in the streets waving red flags.
Today, they march through HR, college campuses, and courtrooms
to wage lawfare against good, honest people,” wrote Vance.

“In Unhumans, Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec reveal their plans and show us what to do to fight back.”

Of course, their far-right screed has dark implications.

After Trump was indicted in May on 34 criminal charges, Posobiec advocated for violent revolt against progressives.

“Take the path of the hunter, and with one singular voice, we are going to make them the prey,” he said.

Since accepting the nomination at the Republican National Convention last week,
Vance has been consistently embroiled in controversy over his past statements,
including his blatantly sexist comment about “childless cat ladies”
and humiliating rumors about having sex with a couch.

Beneath it all, Vance is still part of the intellectual
“new right” movement,
influenced by pronatalism,
techno-authoritarianism,
and conservative economic populism.

Evidently, his reading list also includes extremist, conspiratorial material
—if he even bothered to read it, before lending his name to it.

Either way, Vance gave Posobiec, and all of his dangerous and ridiculous ideas, a boost.

I suspect a lot of us know why they allowed Trump to frame the story with a lie.

Bear in mind that the #WallStreetJournal opinion page has been screechingly right-wing since basically forever.
@BruceMirken Yes, that's well-known, of course. I also think that Stephens is correct to characterize WSJ as mainstream media. To me, it has never appeared much more than a right-wing rag. But to many "centrists," it's a credible, respectable publication — capable of the highly unethical practice of publishing these two editorial statements by the same hack within weeks of each other.

"Donald Trump held no elective office before running for president and filed for bankruptcy six times before becoming a reality TV star.
