Internalized Fascism

Internalized Fascism

Seriously.

If you want to know the shape of the fascist cage that media has constructed inside our minds, our parents' minds, and our grandparents' minds over the years?

Read that awful "Screenwriter's Guide for Americans" slop that Ayn Rand wrote.

And then, if you're a creator?

Go forth, and do your damnedest to make works that depict and stand for the OPPOSITE.

Just because someone "doesn't know what eugenics is", doesn't mean that they don't engage in it; the same way that people who have zero idea how racism works, can still be racist.

Plenty of people, during the covid lockdown, were of the opinion that elderly, disabled, very young, and chronically-ill people were being "entitled" for expecting others to have the decency to mask up around them.

To the anti-maskers, the lives of these vulnerable people were not worth the slight inconvenience of wearing precaution. They instead believed that the vulnerable should just go ahead and get sick and die in order to "improve the species" or some nonsense.

Many of them have no idea what the definition of eugenics is. Yet they engaged very eagerly in eugenicist thinking and behaviors.

How to Build a Solarpunk City:

Reminder: Cis women can have boyish builds, or muscles, or tall, angular body frames and features (or all three) of their own.

Cis men can have curves or petite builds or soft features (or all three).

People aren't fucking barbie and ken dolls.

They're not cookie cutter. They're not clones.

They come in all kinds of different proportions and shapes and types and sizes! 🎉✨

People who champion the nuclear family and insist that it is the only way to have a healthy family, are ridiculously misinformed.

The nuclear family as has been enforced by monarchial, state, and corporate powers is an exceedingly recent invention.

Humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years.

We evolved to be cooperative breeders, with communities that heavily engaged in alloparenting.

A parents' ability to "stay together to raise a child" would have had zero bearing, evolutionarily or otherwise, on the child's safety and development.

That's because most humans used to live in real societies: in which the priority of humanity was to look after and take care of one another in community; rather than recklessly competing to atomize and exploit communities for the sake of profit.

As such, children would have developed a wide array of complex, mutually-consensual relationships with pretty much anyone in their community that they vibed with -- not just with parents and other blood relatives.

"It takes a village to raise a child" isn't just a cute, feel-good saying.

It's ancient wisdom.

Reminder:

The owning class don't want to provide for the unwanted children that abortion and contraceptive bans will create.

They want those children working on farms and in factories, and, when they're old enough, going either into private-run prisons making products for pennies per hour, or, to recruitment offices to sign up to go overseas to kill innocent people in wars for the land and resources the ultra rich love to hoard.

The aim of conservatism is never well-being and thriving and freedom for humans. Conservatives only want to dominate, control, and exploit others, while insisting that you call them 'the good guys'.
