"I get it, because society is like a Van, because a Van is a car you put a bunch of people in to move them forward."

"What? No not..."

"And we are the Guards of the Van."

"No it doesn't mean guardians of a van."

"We Guard the Van as it moves forward, to keep the people inside safe on their journey to their final destination!"

"Tha... Okay, actually that's not a terrible analogy to what I'm saying."

Vanguard is when there is a van with satellite dishes outside your house with people wearing overalls carrying radio devices doing maintenance work in their van and fixing electric poles. They guard your house when you go outside.
