Jared apologising for besmirching the good name of obese West Virginians was highly reminiscent of a wokester apologising for being too truthful about a minority group. Instead of holding people to standards and telling the truth you prioritise racial loyalty/political ideology. Sad!

There are a lot of not so bright ‘white nationalist’ to be fair, but there are also lots of dumb liberals and leftists too. Most average libs don’t read The Atlantic, The New Yorker, or The New York Review of Books. Most liberals are midwits who follow The Young Turks or Rachel Maddow.

Most white nationalists or Identitarians aren’t religious and don’t glorify ‘proles’ or people involved in self-destructive or dysfunctional lifestyles. On the other hand, many are not rather nasty, vicious elitists like Hanania who have zero gratitude for people who keep his toilets unclogged, roads clear of debris, and ensure he and his family can find adequate provisions at their local grocery store. No, they aren’t at all egalitarians but simply think everyone within their particular place has a place with dignity regardless of credentials or social position and makes contributions in their own way. Many also think that fast-talking lawyers, hedge fund managers, or corporate executives aren’t inherently better or superior to someone maintaining roads, sanitation, or ensuring Richard gets his nice cup of coffee in the morning.
