"I Would Have Rebelled in Gilead!"--Meanwhile, in 2020.....

[SweetSue92]

So as some of you may have read, I'm watching The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments based on the novels by Margaret Atwood.

One of Leftist women's favorite performative act is to don the iconic red capes and white "winged" hats as they vote. It's laughably ridiculous. Who's put them in sexual bondage, for pity's sake? Meanwhile.....

THESE were the chicks wearing four masks, getting every vaccine and booster, putting "Stay home, stay safe" all over their profile pages. I see them on social media, boasting about their great intentions. Meanwhile I can see they would, and already DID, fail the test.

"But it was an emergency! It was a dangerous virus!"

Babes, that's exactly what started Gilead......an "emergency".

They don't need to watch the Handmaid's tale, they just need to visit Afghanistan.

Actually, if you read the book (which the TV series doesn't do a good job of portraying) was that the problem they were addressing was declining white birth rates. So they required the few fertile white women who were left to become unwilling surrogate parents.

Atwood wrote this in the 1980s, when she saw the Feminists making common cause with anti-pornography religious fanatics, and felt they were selling out feminism.

The racial aspects of Gilead are really played down in the TV shows.

Which has nothing to do with people who took sensible precautions during Covid.

You mean the place where the religious lunatics took over because Ronnie Ray-gun armed them?

Then they turned on us and 9/11 happened.

LOL, Afghanistan being a pain in the ass goes back to the Soviets and the British.

And your deflection is noted and laughed at.

Afghanistan wasn't bothering us until Crazy Ronnie decided to arm the religious fanatics, and then for good measure, recruit Arabs like Bin Laden to go there to fight.

Oh well. We were fighting the Soviets at the time and were doing the same thing in plenty of other countries.

Oh, well. Maybe someone should have looked at these guys and said, "Maybe not!"

Wow, these guys who hate Western values went ahead and turned on the West. Couldn't see that one coming!

I'm pretty sure I'd be OK with it ...

The only way you get one of these is to be a monster, capable of slaughtering the innocent. So congrats I guess

Once again demanding perfection from the US while the other side can do what it wants.

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Try your homies in Iran instead. Gilead = Tehran, right down to the gays hanging from bridges.

You love it.

Who was the "other side" here? The USSR? Was the world really worse off when the USSR controlled Afghanistan?

So the USSR fell of its own inertia, and we created an army of anti-Western fanatics.

No, I just don't think it's any of our business.

The USSR was failing due to its own inertia, Reagan gave it the push off the ledge.

He did nothing of the sort. IN fact, our intelligence agencies were caught completely off guard when the USSR broke up.

I was in the Army at the time. They were still publishing big glossy books telling us what a threat the USSR was with their 170 Motorized Rifle Divisions.

The ironic thing was the Communist government in Afghanistan outlasted the Communist government in Russia.

What Reagan did manage to do was create an army of Islamist fanatics who hated modernity because the CIA was too lazy to learn to speak Pushtan, so they recruited a bunch of Arabs like Bin Laden to do the fighting.

Not to mention the Contras, who were moving tons of cocaine into our inner cities.

Reagan was a menace!!! But he has nothing on Trump. Trump is actually driving Europe towards China.

His increase to the military was a direct push on a tottering economy. Add in John Paul II's push on the Catholic Warsaw pact states and they helped the downfall.

Our intelligence agencies got the same lies the politburo were getting. It wasn't that they were not getting information, it was that the Soviet system lied to itself so thoroughly that the CIA and others bought the same info as genuine.
