Newly Released Video: J.D. Vance 'The people who are most psychotic don't have kids at home'

July 31, 2024 During a November 2020 interview on The Chris Buskirk Show, Vance states, “The people who are most deranged and most psychotic are the ones who don’t have kids at home.” “It makes them more sociopathic.”

[purpledemonlilyposting]

I feel so bad for red van buskirk (robobuddies), they've had to deal with weirdos bothering them about Lily's shenanigans ever since her SU video came out. I agree with your point tho that Lily shouldn't be handled with kid gloves just because she's trans. Red is lucky enough to have enough separation from the situation to just not want anything to do with it, which I can admire.

Yeah honestly I thought this was just a Lily thing, using being trans as an excuse like she does so many other things. Before this she was sending herself asks calling her a "squaw", a pejorative no one has used since 1912.

Like, um, sorry, being trans doesn't put you above the social standards everyone else abides by? It doesn't make you immune to internet clownery? You're a regular ass person like everyone else.

This is how terrible, dangerous people like Lily Orchard, Patricia Taxxon, Poppy Diabolique, Keffals, and Ava Chris Tyson get so much cover. These are all people who repeatedly get excused for their grifting, lies and sexual predation cause there's a big enough crowd out there willing to go: "But they're trans tho!"

Stop enabling awful people in the LGBT community. Who do you think their prey primarily tend to be?

“There are just these basic cadences of life that I think are really powerful and really valuable when you have kids in your life,” Vance said on the Chris Buskirk podcast. “And the fact that so many people, especially in America’s leadership class, just don’t have that in their lives. “You know, I worry that it makes people more sociopathic and ultimately our whole country a little bit less, less mentally stable. And of course, you talk about going on Twitter—final point I’ll make is you go on Twitter and almost always the people who are most deranged and most psychotic are people who don’t have kids at home,” he added.

J.D. Vance wants you to know that he is very normal and not at all a creep obsessed with stranger's wombs.

So I had no idea people were talking shit about Simone Biles until literally now, and I just have to say, shut the fuck up!!! Chris Buskirk go fuck yourself!!! You conservative fat fucks who don’t know shit about this sport that are blasting Simone Biles on fucking up the chance to win gold!!!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!! People comparing Simone Biles situation to say “what if LeBron James did the same thing”…. Just shut the fuck up. SHUT! THE! FUCK! UP! Just stop it right there because if you are comparing basketball to gymnastics or a basketball player to a gymnast you clearly don’t know what the fuck your talking about. In gymnastics you need to be fully aware of what your body is doing when you do these skills!!! You can’t just go “Oh, my warm up was shit and I felt lost and my warm up on floor was a little disgusting and yet again felt lost but I’m still going for it!” You can’t fucking do that, that is how injuries happened in this sport. I literally fucking hurt myself last year because I wasn’t fully aware of what my body was doing. I knew what I wanted to do but my body just fucking under rotated. It is not by any means like basketball where if you feel lost in the game, you can still play without a larger risk of injury. Gymnastics you just fucking can’t, you must be fully aware the entire fucking time or else you risk injury. Keep in mind, we fly through the fucking air, not run around a basketball court with a ball, we do harder shit on a daily fucking basis. This sport is literally 60% mental and 40% physical. I’d love to see any athlete outside of gymnastics to try and do 1/4 of the shit Simone Biles could do!!!! She is brave and heroic person withdrawing from the Olympics because she didn’t want to risk a fucking injury, and if you don’t agree, you’re a shitty fucking person!!! Don’t talk about gymnastics again!!!!! Just don’t!!!! What you have to say about this sport doesn’t mean shit if you don’t understand the difficulty or the mental limits you need to do this sport!!!!

Also notice how no other athlete is dissing her or her talent (psstt…. that’s because they know the pressure of being placed on a pedestal!!!!)

Lastly, if you’re one of those motherfuckers hating on Simone Biles right now, I say this with no respect for you whatsoever, GO FUCK YOURSELF!!! SIMONE BILES AT THE END OF THE DAY IS STILL THE GREATEST ATHLETE OF ALL TIME!!! SHE COULD DO STUFF IN HER SLEEP THAT YOU COULDN’T DO AWAKE!!! YOUR OPINION ON SIMONE BILES DOES NOT MATTER!!!! IF YOUR DISSING HER, YOU CLEARLY HAVE NO EXPERIENCE IN THIS SPORT EITHER AS AN OBSERVER OR COMPETITOR!!!! THIS SHIT IS FUCKING DIFFICULT AS HELL!!!! ON TOP OF THAT THERE IS A LOT OF PRESSURE FROM BEING ONE OF THE FACES FOR THE OLYMPICS!!!! UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!

I'm going to make a response to a SU video made a few years ago by @robobuddies, who goes by "Red Van Buskirk" the video is called "The Steven universe rant." The video was uploaded in 8 Sep in 2017.

Keep the date in mind because is going to become important later.

I going to refer to Red Van Buskirk as "they/them" since they prefer these pronouns and "Red Van" for short.

And don't harass this person in social media! This is supossed to be a response. Nothing else. I'm saying this because i know how things work. So, don't bully them. OK?

I'm not going to make a rebuttal of every single tiny detail because the video is 40 minutes long and the creator of the video sometimes jumps from one point to another and loses focus on what they are talking about:

First they start the video with a Disclaimer: "I'm going to be harsh and hyperbolic for the sake of entertainment".

Now here's my problem: i get sometimes youtube critics want to play a "persona" but sometimes comes off more as an lazy excuse to avoid criticism. This has happened before with Cinema Sins many times. It's not exactly a very good way of starting your video, specially if you want to be considered a profesional or be taken seriously.

Like if i'm going to give my opinion about something, i do it, i don't say "It's just my persona", i want to honest with my mutuals and people who like my content.

They also mention how the SU fandom can't take criticism and sometimes consider everything a personal attack. While i agree this fandom can be a living nightmare, the reason of why we sometimes get so mad is because people who sometimes do these types of rants don't do their research about the show, the video gets millions of views and well..

Which goes to my next point:

-Red Van, you need to do your research.

A huge part of the video they talk about the animation behind the show and mention "Motorcity" as a good example of composition.

Here's the thing: They barely mention which programs the creators use to create these shows or the animation studios which is quite a problem if you are going to talk about animation for half of your video.

"Motorcity is animated with a combination of Flash, Maya and After Effects – with backgrounds and other elements created in Photoshop."

"Created by Chris Prynoski, Motorcity is produced by Robin Red Breast, Inc. (a subsidiary of Titmouse, Inc.) and Disney Television Animation."

Link (X)

Steven universe was animated by two korean studios: Summin and Rough Draft

Link (X)

The programs the crewniverse used to animate Steven universe Link: (X)

They mention how the animators of Steven universe were "lazy" for not making the scene of "Mr.Greg"- Is over, isn't it? More interesting..

Here's the thing.. they wanted to:

This was the original concept but they didn't have time to animate it into the show. They were time restraints to animate it.

Link that talks about the episode Mr.Greg and the animatic: (X)

Now this episode "Mr.Greg" came out in 2016, and Red Van's SU video rant was uploaded in September 2017. That's like an year to find that post.. so why didn't they search for it?

They complain about the writers forgeting about the powers of the characters.. So, i'm just going to leave this right here from a SU reddit AMA:

The writers kinda came up with some powers but they also had a list of what powers they could do.

Now to be fair to Red Van, this AMA was made in way after their video, so i can't blame them for not knowing this detail.

They also mention how the gems don't use their powers to catch Peridot: The issue with this argument is that the gems had no idea how Gem Homeworld technology had changed and Peridot had tons of tricks to get the upper hand. And the gems only fight Peridot two times in season 2 before they catch her in "Catch and Release". That's why they catch her quickly in "Catch and Release" they already know her tricks and catch her by surprise.

"Peridot is coming.And we don't know who or what she'll be coming with. She's a modern gem with modern gem technology that's bound to overpower us." -Garnet Political Power

They also complain about Amethyst not using her shapeshifting powers to catch Peridot.. but later in "Message received" Amethyst shapeshifts into a helicopter to stop Peridot and her robot.. why they don't mention this?

Amethyst also used her shapeshifting powers in other battles (Ocean gem, Steven vs Amethyst).. they brieftly mention this for a second but don't go into much detail in their video.

In one part of their video they talk about the writing..they fail to mention how the process works.

Here's is how it works:

"As some of you know, Steven Universe is a storyboard driven show, meaning a team of storyboard artists are given an outline off of which they write all of the dialogue and storyboard the episode.  The job of the outline, and my job, is to give them the basic framework for the episode - the story."

Link to Ben Levin post (X).

Here's is another one about Ian talking about the writing process: (X)

Now the Ben Levin post about writing is from 11 sep 2015. I think with 10-15 minutes you can find the post. And if i remember correctly it was even in the SU subreddit. And is from the episode "Lion 3"

They also mention Adventure time several times in their rant to compare it to Steven universe.

Now wasn't Adventure Time a storyboard driven show like Steven universe?

Well, yes.

"Each episode of Adventure Time takes about nine months to produce and begins in a writer’s room with series creator Ward, producers Adam Muto and Kent Osborne, and staff writer Jack Pendarvis. From that meeting, they generate a barebones, two-page outline. Those outlines are handed over to one of four storyboard teams who have two weeks to visually outline the episode. “They’re basically directing,” says Osborne. “They’re writing all the jokes, editing the outline, picking all the camera shots… what the episode is going to look like.”

Link

https://www.thedailybeast.com/this-is-how-an-episode-of-cartoon-networks-adventure-time-is-made#:~:text=Each%20episode%20of%20Adventure%20Time,barebones%2C%20two-page%20outline.&text=“They're%20basically%20directing%2C”%20says%20Osborne.

It's also worth of mentioning that Rebecca Sugar worked previously on Adventure time.. i think Red Van doesn't mention this detail in their video.

Rebecca Sugar was nominated for the episodes : "It Came from the Nightosphere" and "Simon and Marcy". She storyboarded " I Remember you" which has one of the most iconic moments in modern western animation. ( People who complain about Steven universe but like Adventure time rarely seem to mention this detail).

Link (X) (Episodes she storyboarded in Adventure time)

There is also one point they just start nitpicking and tearing down the show, which reminds me of Cinema sins, except is not as funny.

Red Van, what you are doing here in this part can be done with any other show and is a very easy thing to do. I could also make a 30 minute rant of MotorCity or tmnt 2012 nitpicking every tiny detail but it's not exactly good criticism.

They later complain about the Steven universe perspective..

I leave this here,is from that same SU AMA reddit i mentioned earlier in the post which explains the Steven's perspective.

Now, i didn't have a problem with the Steven only perspective. In many ways its what makes the story of SU work. We learn about the world as Steven learns. The more Steven grows, the more we learn things aren't as simple as they seemed to be.

Characters sometimes will hold information about X person from Steven, so he's forced to ask other characters about it.

It seems to be suggestive since i only actually started paying attention to it when people brought it up. Like, it wasn't such a big deal for me.

Now i could go on and on with this response but i would like to leave it here.

What do i think of this video? If i was a teacher and a student tried to show me a video like this for my class, i would probably ask the student to make it again. Not because it complains about Steven universe, is just is poorly organized in some parts and lacks proper research.

As someone who likes analyzing media is quite difficult for me to take this rant seriously. It has issues and is like those Cinema sins videos but isn't that funny.

And there's one more thing:

I found this youtube comment in which Red Van admitted that they should have done more research into the show production and animation. At least is good to know they are honest and say they made some mistakes in their video.

The problem is that.. well.. since their Steven universe rant many others have cited their work and their video has 1 million of views... even though it contain a few errors that the creator admitted.

I wouldn't call Red Van a bad person, they actually are nice. However.. Their SU video is a bit misguided and somewhat problematic. But is not the worst thing ever.

But with China now widely understood as having ambitions to become the world’s hegemonic power, many people are wondering what they are up to, especially as information has come to light about the Wuhan Institute of Virology from which some people speculate that the coronavirus might have escaped. The Institute is a Level 4 microbiology lab (the most secure type that handles the most dangerous pathogens) operated by the Chinese government and it has been working on SARS, Ebola, and various strains of coronavirus. It is one of four labs in China that are believed to work on biological weapons. This is at the root of the “evil” thesis. It’s worth noting that just last year, two Chinese nationals, husband and wife Dr. Keding Cheng and Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, and an unknown number of their students (also Chinese nationals) were removed from the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police as part of an intellectual property theft investigation. The NML is Canada’s only Level 4 microbiology lab, which is to say, it’s the type of lab the Chinese operate in Wuhan. Dr. Qiu is known for working on the Ebola virus, while her husband has published studies of SARS. The RCMP investigation noted that both made frequent trips back to China every year. Does this mean that they were stealing intellectual property and sending it back to China? That’s not public information, but we do know that Chinese growth has relied upon the twin pillars of cheap labor and technology theft from the West. From semiconductors to software, power plants to pharmaceuticals, the Chinese are dependent upon espionage to keep up with the developed world. This is bad business for America and has led to stagnant wages, a shrinking middle class, and hollowed-out towns across the interior of the country.

Chris Buskirk, “Does the Coronavirus Outbreak Tell Us That China Is Bad or Evil?” (January 30th 2020)

[45oldschool-blog]

Welcome back, everyone! First let’s go back to the ancient times of last week with a few to lead off the insanity that comes from our Lefty pals:

04/28 – Democrats Say Trump Not Allowed To Discuss Ralph Northam’s Infanticide Advocacy

Following the Bro-Fo Omar model, the newest form of hate speech from Conservatives is to accurately quote Leftists

04/29 – Authorities To Arrest Canadian Father If He Refers To Trans Child As Her Real Sex

Not that they give a damn, but if there are any sane members left of the gay community, taking a stand against something as wrong as this would do a lot more to showing us normals that not all Leftists are hateful and intolerant

05/02 – Obama saw the 2016 loss of Hillary Clinton as a ‘personal insult’

To paraphrase an old joke that I remember hearing about frat boys:

“How many Barack Obamas does it take to change a light bulb?”

“One. He just holds it up and the world revolves around him.”

05/03 – INSANE VIDEO shows KIDS in Philadelphia Muslim center chanting about DECAPITATING their enemies!!

Add this to the list of things that are shocking now but will probably be part of the platform for the Democratic party’s presidential nominee in 12 years

05/04 – Pelosi Wants Progressives To Rein In Their Message. She’s Afraid Trump Will Make This Move If They Don’t.

As much as I dislike Pelosi, I wish our side were as brilliant at tactics as she is. That said, I love how she’s now basically powerless to stop the “Bats*** Crazy Caucus” that’s taking over her party.

05/05 – The Einstein working for the Senate Democrats

I love stories like these – poll gets launched. Rude surprise follows.

05/06 – WATCH: PA State Rep. Brian Sims Relentlessly Harasses An Elderly Pro-Life Lady On The Sidewalk

Isn’t the honesty refreshing now that Democrats no longer feel the need to hide how much they hate half of this country? And he also wants to dox some teenagers.

05/07 – Crushed by the Leftist Juggernaut: One Lawyer’s Story

A scary and sobering look at how one half of the country feels it is OK to treat the other. And I would add that as it continues to get worse, the Vichy Conservatives still seem to think that it’s ungentlemanly to fight back.

05/08 – The Democrats’ Sore Loser Syndrome

I’d take The American Spectator’s R. Emmett Tyrell’s assertion that Democrats haven’t lost a presidential election since 1956 – when is the last time the Dems’ ran a presidential nominee who didn’t hate America? I’d argue that it was Gore, as he didn’t seem to hate us until after we rejected him.

05/09 – Progressives Face a Bleak Post-Mueller Landscape

To steal that great phrase I recall Rush using years ago as a take on FDR’s most famous line, “The Democrats’ new slogan should be, The only thing we have to offer is… fear itself!”

05/10 – Chris Buskirk: Yes, David and Nancy French, A Christian Can Support Trump

Stories like this make me want to go bak in time to cancel my subscription to National Review a few years ago, as opposed to last month.

From the archives, remember Occupy Wall Street? While folks from our side got annoyed at having these thugs and vandals compared to the Tea Party, I pointed that It turns out that the OWS Protesters Are Just Like the Tea Partiers After All!

One last note regarding this week’s Twitter roundup – while I generally keep them on the humorous/mocking side, the first one is pretty heavy and has a thread below it well worth reading. Keep it handy for any of your Lefty friends who’ve never read a history book and need to be educated at to what Nazis actually were.

On that cheery note, have a great weekend, everybody!
