Oh no you're here
I dunno, I see it as more of an interesting twist on the the "alien seems to be good but is so foreign to our way of thinking that the 'good' thing curdles into horrific" sci fi trope

i mean what are these "western values" these guys are so hopped up about? they are directly antagonistic to western europe. they don't believe in civil liberties. they reject democracy. and don't get me started on christianity, they hate their white neighbors almost as much as the brown ones

To my mind, I think the core of the problem is that greater - if still imperfect - gender equality allowed women access to more 'life scripts' as it were, but society mostly still presents men with just one script and that script poorly and incompletely.

So some men are fine and many are adrift.

Or recognize that especially black women are the absolute spine of the one institution that can realistically stop fascism--the Democratic Party

My pet theory: the reactionaries know they won the post-1876 peace on race relations, so they assume they did so on federal structure too.

It also is another thing that puts a lie to their constitution as articles of confederation 1.2.

"We're a union of independent sovereigns... that are all death gripped into this nigh-unchangeable charter"

Also the amendment process

Yeah, we tried their bullshit 'union of sovereign states,' watered it down in 1789, and the thing still went tits up in 1861.

They always fall back to this idea that we're a 'union of states.' No, we're not, and we haven't been for over a century.

Why does my party for deferring to rich, aggressive men keep getting these pedophiles in charge?

It's my heritage to hate slavers and their lickspittles.

This feels like one of those 'free boat' stings built specifically for you

2025 if they had hung the entire Confederate legislature and the 10 largest landowners in every southern county.

Lol "the problem with feudalism is when it was formalized into government."

I like how the bewilderment/scandal here is just the fact of successful Democratic messaging

Gwar has been beheading politicians on stage since forever. I saw them do it to Obama, Romney (twice!), and Jesus all in one show.
