Iβve said before and Iβll say it again: the problem with Rory and people like him is that he has an IQ of 110 and thinks he has an IQ of 130. This false arrogance drives so much elite failure over the last 40 years.

Rory Stewart isn't a journo! He's a super posh brit (like, tutored-the-princes level posh) but he's also crazy hardcore: he was probably an Mi6 agent (never admitted it), after he retired from being not-a-spy, walked across the entire continent of Asia, alone on foot.
The Taliban wouldn't let him walk across Afghanistan, so as soon as the Taliban fell, he went back and was the first tourist to visit. He walked the whole length of Afghanistan, rescuing dogs and antiquities along the way. He wrote a book about it.
The UK Foreign Office also put him personally in charge of a third of Iraq mostly because he's a posh white guy who speaks Arabic. He wrote a hilarious book about that and what a shitshow it was trying to govern surrounded by idiots: US military and Iraqi tribespeople.
But the funniest thing about Rory Stewart is that despite being insanely hardcore, doing things most people have only dreamed of, he looks like this:

Read his books! He's quite funny and clever. I've read Stewart's books and Vance's book and Stewart is by far the better writer. Even chuds would enjoy the bits where he's savaging the incompetent UK Foreign Office or the idiotic US military bureaucracy, or making fun of stupid sand people arguing. !bookworms
Anyway, here he is with the Afghan dog that adopted him on his walk and he couldn't bear to leave so brought home to the UK at great expense (ordo amoris, indeed):
Vance is spineless new-money scum who sold out everything he claimed to believe in order to suck Trump's peepee. Stewart is a literal aristocrat who publicly quit the Tory party rather than compromise his values. !nonchuds

@Aevann I was on rsp.net when I posted, but then I switched domains and edited, but maybe it still didn't ping.
Anyway, important literary/pooping on content !bookworms !nonchuds
Imagine some Peter Thiel wannabe telling a man who went to the Dragon School and Eton to "google" some Latin bullshit. 100% chance Stewart has been made to read Meditations in the original Greek and to translate passages to Latin.

Stewart is a weird case, he's done all this interesting stuff and then it somehow manifested into him becoming identical to an average Lib Dem

I only know him from a Lotus Eaters clip of him umming and ahhing about his failed Kamala prediction, that she would've won if she hadn't lost.
Also - did not realise he was in his 50s. I assumed he was a millennial. Cannot believe there are libtards in their 50s.
