https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/07/jd-vance-unhumans-book-jack-posobiec-alt-right-january-6/J.D. Vance Endorsed Book That Calls Progressives Unhumans and Praises Jan. 6 Rioters
The book, Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (and How to Crush Them), was written by Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec. Posobiec is a well-known alt-right agitator and conservative media personality who promoted the bonkers Pizzagate conspiracy theory. Lisec is a professional ghostwriter. And their book professes to be a history of communist and leftist revolutionary abuses over the decadesbut with a twist. They claim, For as long as there have been beauty and truth, love and life, there have also been the ugly liars who hate and kill. And these people of anti-civilization have always gone by different names: communists, socialists, leftists, and progressives. The pair contend these folksbe they the Bolsheviks of Russia or the BLM activists of this decadeare better called unhumans.
With power, unhumans undo civilization itself, Posobiec and Lisec write. They undo order. They undo the basic bonds of society that make communities and nations possible. They destroy the human rights of life, liberty, and propertyand undo their own humanity in the process by fully embracing nihilism, cynicism, and envy.
Its a hard-edged message. The foes of conservatism are not merely misguided souls pushing the wrong policies but people who seek to annihilate civilization. They rob and kill, Posobiec and Lisec maintain: They dont believe what they say. They dont care about winning debates. They dont even want equality. They just want an excuse to destroy everything. They want an excuse to destroy you.
Vance apparently found this Manichean view worthy of his endorsement, and he provided a blurb that Posobiec and Lisec have used to peddle their volume:
In the past, communists marched in the streets waving red flags. Today, they march through HR [Human Resources], college campuses, and courtrooms to wage lawfare against good, honest people. In Unhumans, Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec reveal their plans and show us what to do to fight back.
