Stancil joined Twitter in June of 2009, an early user. Throughout the 2010s and 2020s, he posted frequently about policy topics. In the fall of 2023, as the vibescession discourse took off, Stancil became involved in an increasingly intricate series of beefs. It started with him espousing the vibecession, amid pushback from leftists who believed that he was endorsing the status quo. The dispute then escalated into high profile confrontations with presidential candidate Marianne Williamson (seen below left) and pundit Nate Silver (seen below right). In particular, Stancil’s dispute with Silver attracted attention and headlines, including retweets from figures like New York Times columnist Ross Douthat.

Literally a meme
Is that a word privileged lanyard types use to claim that the economy is actually great, the poors are just dumb and whiny?
Yes. It’s the “Aktuly Big Number Go Up, but Trump is winning because the vibes are literally just off”.
Just doing the standard neoliberal gaslighting while poverty climbs and the wealth disparity grows ever wider.
