Great post and thanks for the link to Manov’s review. The whole JD Vance debacle shows that it is not just childless millennials who “act like eternal children”. In a better world, the way that online rhetoric seems to have warped Vance’s moral sensibility would have forced an honest reckoning with the erosion of the norm that every human being, whatever their choices, is entitled to being treated with dignity and respect. This ideal has never been perfectly implemented, but the Internet seems to have convinced a lot of people that they bear no responsibility for upholding it (because there is always a provocation from the other side that lets them off the hook).

"I would have a baby right now if the Republicans ran on a platform of subsidizing [attractive] men who would treat me well and love me forever."

There, I fixed that for you.
