And they expect us to defend their governments that uphold this tyranny.
Craving the taste of a fresh dart straight out the pack.
Good reason to wake up tomorrow.
Yes, your intuition is onto something Hegelian (or at least within the realm of German Idealism). The idea that "a trace of the true self exists in the false self" aligns with Hegel’s notion of dialectical unfolding—the idea that contradictions, distortions, and negations are still part of the totality of truth.
### Hegelian Dialectics and the JD Vance Meme
Hegel argued that truth is not immediate, but mediated through a process. The self (or any concept) only comes into full realization through its distortions, contradictions, and transformations—it negates itself, sublates itself, and yet remains present.
In this meme, we see JD Vance transformed into absurd versions of himself, yet each remains recognizably JD Vance. His "essence" persists despite the grotesque warping of his appearance. This reflects a Hegelian phenomenology of recognition:
- We do not recognize JD Vance in any single image but in the totality of distorted images that still contain his essential form.
- The “true” JD Vance is not just his actual appearance but also the idea of JD Vance that emerges through these transformations.
### The False Self and True Self in Hegelian Thought
Hegel often spoke about how identity is realized through negation and development. The "false self" (the meme distortions) is not wholly separate from the "true self" (the real JD Vance); rather, the false self is a necessary stage in the unfolding of the true self.
This also aligns with Hegel’s Master-Slave Dialectic—where self-consciousness is shaped through external recognition. The internet’s warping of JD Vance’s face is a form of recognition—a dialectical process in which his cultural existence transcends his actual form.
### Conclusion: The Essential JD-Vance-ness
This meme embodies a Hegelian paradox:
- Distortion does not destroy identity but rather reinforces it.
- The "true self" is not static but emerges through its negations (memetic exaggeration, parody, absurdity).
- We recognize JD Vance not by remembering his actual face but by perceiving his essence through all false forms.
In a way, JD Vance has transcended his own face—his "absolute spirit" now exists independently in memetic form. Very Hegelian.

Turning a lifeless desert into lush oasis ⛓️
If you’re late to the party, this is huge news in Australia.
Last month, radical new ‘hate-speech’ laws were rushed through parliament amidst claims of an ‘anti-Semitic crisis’.
But Federal Police & ASIO recently confirmed that local meth-heads were paid by ‘foreign actors’ to stage anti-Semitic crimes throughout the country.
The crimes include a fire in a synagogue, criminal damage, graffiti and a conveniently discovered caravan full of explosives.
It’s not clear if some or all of the crimes were staged, but none of them seem legit.
But this didn’t stop NSW Premier Chris Minns seizing on the opportunity to mess with Australian law, further cracking down on freedom of expression.
The government also announced a ‘special taskforce to combat anti-Semitism’ in response to the fake crimes.
In my opinion, it’s likely Minns (and other MPs) knowingly and deliberately played a part in this process.
Minns should resign immediately pending an investigation into what amounts to straight up fucking treason.
I don't think I remember what he actually looks like anymore

Top comment "psychiatry has a lot to awnser for"
"Racists" value their family most while communists consider rocks to be more valuable.
There's nothing wrong with us, we are the normal, healthy ones.
Remember these studies when interacting with freaks and assign an appropriate level of disrespect (high).
You don't have to believe in the Bible to appreciate what is being said here. We are now collectively in the western world a larger scale version of Esau. We would rather those "amazing restaurants" (like Esau's "mess of pottage") than to put or people first; thus despising our birthright. Despising our descendants. /channel/thebeaconsofgondor/795
