Feminist theory remains undefeated in explaining the weirdest parts of the Trump administration. I'm just going to keep posting this skeleton-key-to-MAGA passage, written over 40 years ago, until everyone gets it.
"To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”
― Marilyn Frye, The Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory

“Nero fiddling while Rome burns” makes a lot more sense if Nero isn’t just a person, but entire subgroups of a society wholly dedicated to avoiding what makes them uncomfortable.

"In the 1930s, a German Jewish jurist named Ernst Fraenkel developed a model he called the dual state. It is a state in which some people are subjected to increasingly restrictive laws that are applied arbitrarily while others continue to live in a regular, rules-based society."

The American "justice system" is not broken. The system is a perfectly functioning meat grinder, a rolling border wall, a plantation ledger, a movable death warrant. High tech robotic policing of necropolitical death worlds, deciding who gets to breathe and whose bones feed the machine.

Why is June pride month? Because of the Stonewall uprising in 1969. Why did the Stonewall uprising have such an impact? Because—like the George Floyd revolt in 2020—it began with a leaderless, multiracial anti-police riot that called the whole social order into question: crimethinc.com/stonewall
