This just makes me identify with Vance more
If you're this Newshillom guy, you've already had your life handed to you from the jump. Of course you have a sparkling upper middle class white family. Of course you have your gay little luxury beliefs and can stomach being a democrat.
But, when I think about all the performative bullshit Vance had to go through, I'm reminded of my own fruitless struggle to fit in. My own ostracization. We sacrificed everything for acceptance until it was clear that we would never be accepted. The photo of him in drag is the fucking coup de grace. When I saw it, as well as that photo with his "female friends" in the men's bathroom posing like they were using the urinal, I looked at Vance's inwardly torrid countenance, and it clawed and ripped at my heart. I know this struggle intimately. Every emotion I've had since I stopped jestermaxxing welled up in me and I felt such cringe I couldn't bear to look at those photos anymore.
I would marry a foreigner too, come to think of it. I would extoll every virtue this foreigner seemed to bring and look down on the ways of my home. Vance wants us all to get shoved in Indian sweatshops and be uploaded to a Palantir database. We should be "traditional" and we should be "hard-working" like them! He probably saw the dead bodies and chemical pollution foam in the River Ganges and swore in his heart to someday make that the Mississippi.
I really emphasize with this psychology. It's hard to even argue with it if you come from a background of the same humiliation. Why shouldn't a group that ostracized and humiliated you be made to suffer? Life under the Horde might as well be life under you guys, but at least with the Horde, I know that you'll suffer under them too. Then we're even. :)
