I’ve come to the conclusion that Christian sharia (don’t say gay, report trans kids to child services, fine teachers who teach things that you don’t agree with religiously, book burnings) is a reaction to the gains labor made during the pandemic.
Part 1: declare pandemic over
Part 2a: start a culture war
Part 2b: start an international war
Part 3: go back to abusing workers and see if enough get tricked into voting against their self interest in the culture war, or enough poor kids go off to war & nationalism catches up others who might engage in class warfare.
All our institutions have failed us, and now the Handmaid’s Tale laws, and war…. it’s reactionary. They are wedges to crack this movement.
Please stand strong, and ignore these wedges.
