Social Media Influencer Sparks Debate: 'Values Over Vibes' in the Fight for Democracy
In a recent viral video, social media personality Blakely Thornton ignited a discussion on the critical distinction between 'values' and 'vibes' in contemporary society. Uploaded on July 15, 2025, the video, which has garnered over 8,110 views, features Thornton passionately arguing that a significant societal problem lies in the conflation of these two concepts. Thornton asserted, "A vibe is something you can ascertain very quickly, very visually, impulsively. Is the vibe cool? Is the vibe good?" He contrasted this with values, stating, "Someone's values, or ascertaining their values, requires time, reading, and most importantly, critical thinking." He further claimed that a 'current dictatorship' is attempting to dismantle these essential skills, urging viewers to prioritize values for societal survival. The video also delved into political commentary, with Thornton suggesting that animosity should be reserved for those who 'support oligarchy' rather than individuals based on their 'vibe.' He directly named political figures, stating, "Hate comments on groups should be reserved for Marjorie Taylor Greene. Leave Hathaway alone and go for Kristi Noem." He concluded with a powerful call to action, emphasizing, "If we're gonna survive, it's values over vibes! Take a look, it's in a book, reading rainbow, before they burn the rest of them, kids. It's go time, guys. Values over vibes. Critical thinking." The video has resonated with many viewers, with comments such as "Values over vibes!!!!" and "Thank you! This is how we protect and evolve culture" highlighting the perceived importance of his message.
