    Reminds me of nightmares I have where I end up in a forced marriage to some incel wretch then I end up jailed for properly dealing with said reactionary wretch.

    Anyway, they dream of the 50s trad housewife and such not realizing some horrible excuses of men tended to have difficulty surviving past their morning coffee and breakfast fitting their greasy dark heart. shrug-outta-hecks

    So THIS is how they’re gonna do handmaids tale. It’s gonna be an immigrant thing. Neat. Disgusting and repulsive and utterly repugnant in every conceivable way but I was wondering how they would justify it

      Historically this isnt new, quebec was populated this way, by royals sending women to breed with the mostly male colonists.

      But its true, most modern dystopias are just „what if x but it happens to white people“

        Yeah I made it through a couple episodes and was like “This was literally done to black and Native American women across North America. The last residential schools closed in the 90s,” before giving up. The series ignores the racism component that would happen in a theocratic USA. Mormonism, one of the home grown religions of the US, advocated blackness was the Mark of Cain.

    The capitalists want peoples to have more children so that the reserve army of labor stays large enough to guaranty they will always have peoples desperate enough to work for almost nothing in case their current workers strike.

    But obviously they don’t want to spend money and resources to make having a child affordable for most peoples so instead they try to force peoples who wouldn’t have had one under less crypto-fash circumstances in situations that will force them to have one anyway.

    Same reason they dislike abortion so much.

      It’s actually an interesting extension of Plato’s ‘Laws’, where in all sexual activity is supposed to be suppressed for the lower classes in order to stimulate their work ethic, but the wealthy can do as they please. Despite the fact that we create their wealth, our reproduction is a privilege, theirs is a right.

      Plato was like the first dude-bro fascist as far as I am concerned, it is incredible how that gets glossed over in philosophy.

        Yeah reading Plato’s republic, where he writes about the need for military culture and people being born with certain souls which sort them into a hierarchy was insane. It’s so strange for him to be one of the most known philosophers, yet his actual philosophy is so proto-fascist and no one ever mentions that.

    Seems like they need to update the text now:

    “Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free*”

    Every single Republican scumfuck in congress should burn in the deepest pits of hell for eternity. They should never know sleep or peace. Never quench their thirst or sate their hunger. If there is any fucking justice in this rotten world this should be the kindest fate they face.

    This will create a my little pony arms race. Cause if this program is started every leftist is morally obligated to sign up to mess it up. However we will need to buy enough my little ponies to defeat the screening tests and create a resistance movement. Which will lead to incells increasing their brony activities even further till there will just be running technicolor gun battles in the streets from the pinky pie pink-shirt fascist militias and the rainbow dash coalition block of anti-fascists. Which would be a middling episode of black mirror.

    It sure isn’t Hexbear without a monthly discussion about incels, isn’t it?

    In all seriousness, it’s crazy how stuff like incels went from something that only terminally online people talked about to now being so mainstream that (far-right) politicians are talking about it.
