asshats are still hiding their megalomaniac desire for power and control behind the well being of childeren

  • war on people who drugs

  • anti-freedom-from/of-gender mysogynists campaigns (anti-trans, anti-reproductive freedoms, anti-sexual minority, pro-eugenics)

  • anti-immigration campains appealing to colonial-settler hypocrisy (creating refugees by way of exploiting & destabilizing their homes for profit of the imperial core)

  • anti-houseless people campaigns - As violent crime declines, for-profit prison system requires a prison population to exploit, further incentiving criminalization of existing in public spaces or near law officers out to meet arbitrary quotas.

I mean, Shit, this is just Fear-Propaganda-Mania grift expanding into it's next logical killing floor. Just about anybody can be a scapegoat if you can convince the Imperial Middle that the target will harm "Women and Childeren"

All the while existing institutions and their authority figures, from "would never do anything wrong" trusted local gym coach, to the Catholic to the Mormon church, Scouts to Police Unions, and so many more carry out and stonewall any fix to the root cause that it's Trusted Authority Figures in Established Institutions that are abusing real-world victims, victims from all disenfranchised intersections of identitiy, here, now, in reality.

And the real kicker is that the listed terminology most accurately conveys the ideas in the fewest words possible, and people who follow right-wing-authoritaian influencers are groomed into shutting down when they see those exact words.

I know you were likely being facetious -- still had to go off 🫶
