Free trade with the US made a lot of people richer, but it made a lot of people poorer and more vulnerable. And it came with an explicit abdication of soverignty in the name of foreign business interests.

We directly teaded foreign private money for the rights of communities to self-govern.

This is not "something was said in a vacuum decades ago, and it just happened to be right," this is "this thing that we openly gave away at the time, and has continually been biting us in the ass ever since, is something that was an open concern before it was agreed to, but was completely dismissed because some people stood to make a lot of money".

The US has always been a fascist, imperialst state. It has always made unreasonable demands on us. It was only a matter of time before an ideological fascist took control, and it was inevitable that the country would continue to take liberties with us.

This is not a crapshoot. It's "I was paying even the slightest bit of attention", and you're almost certainly only being mocking about it because the group identified here is "feminists".

There are a lot of marginalized groups, not just feminists that hold the same or similar viewpoints. Like I said, I don't necessarily disagree.
