How #Patriarchy Weaponizes #Nostalgia
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rivu-e23sv8
Do you ever find yourself longing for “the #goodolddays"? A #simplertime when everything felt easier and no one was doomscrolling? But what exactly are we #remembering, and what are we leaving out? Let's dig into how nostalgia and hidden #patriarchal frameworks shape our view of the #past.
Our mother has every last thing we need in vast #abundance in an ever flowing beauty that was established long, long, long before the fear and ego based #patriarchal BS took her by a choke hold to drain her of all her resources
As a flower fuels the sweet animals who eat one another and as their corpses fuel their petals, leaves and branches on we live in a grand cycle
But you'd rather sit trembling than to offer life to your siblings
The thing a #patriarchal society fears most is an outspoken old #woman who doesn't want your love, doesn't need your money and doesn't fear your punishment.
That is why, throughout history, so many such women were denounced as #witches.
Solarpunk fiction is a form of climate fiction, but by focusing on the changes we could make, it can move us past climate anxiety, says author and editor Sarena Ulibarri. She introduces us to five favourites: ranging from near-future to far-future, they present a collection of thought experiments in the ways humanity might yet choose to live.
#DougWilson Has Spent Decades Pushing for a #Christian #Theocracy. In #Trump’s DC, the #NewRight Is Listening.
#DougWilson has built a #theocratic regime in Moscow, Idaho, where men rule and biblical teachings guide everything. Now he’s taking the model national, with a receptive crowd in the #GOP.
By Ian Ward, 05/23/2025
Excerpt: "Wilson has spent much of his career outside the conservative mainstream, which has distanced itself from his frank defense of theocracy, his ultra-#patriarchal views on gender relations and his reactionary stances on race and 'the war between the states,' as he still calls the #CivilWar. (On the 'About' page of his blog, Wilson describes his politics as 'slightly to the right' of the #Confederate general Jeb Stuart.) Online, Wilson has cultivated a punk-rock aesthetic designed to foster his reputation as the 'based' intellectual bad boy of American #evangelicalism: In a promotional video posted at the height of the conservative backlash to '#woke' media companies in 2023, Wilson used a skull-and-crossbones-emblazoned flamethrower to torch oversized cardboard cutouts of various Disney princesses and social media companies, all while puffing on a fat cigar."

Secretary of Defense #PeteHegseth promotes repealing #WomensRightToVote
by Judd Legum
Aug 11, 2025
"Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who oversees about 3 million military service members and civilian employees, reposted a video last week advocating repealing the #19thAmendment, which guarantees women the right to vote. The video is an excerpt from CNN anchor Pamela Brown's interview with #ChristianNationalist pastor #DougWilson, who Brown reports believes 'women shouldn't be able to vote.'
"Brown speaks to two pastors in Wilson's Idaho church who agree with Wilson. 'In my ideal society, we would vote as households,' pastor Toby Sumpter says. 'And I would ordinarily be the one to cast the vote.' (This is the model also advocated by Wilson.) Pastor Jared Longshore says he supports the repeal of the 19th Amendment because 'the current system is not good for humans.'
"Hegseth is a member of a church that is part of Wilson's network, the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (#CREC), in Tennessee. When a CREC branch recently opened in Washington, DC, Hegseth attended. Longshore delivered the sermon.
"Hegseth's response to the video — 'All of Christ for All of Life' — is a Christian nationalist slogan used frequently by Wilson. It stands for the idea that Christianity should dominate all aspects of life, including government.
In response to media inquiries, the Pentagon reiterated Hegseth's admiration for Wilson and his ideology. 'The Secretary very much appreciates many of Mr. Wilson's writings and teachings,' Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said.
Beyond repealing women's #VotingRights, what are Wilson's 'writing and teachings'? Let's review.
"Wilson argues that slavery benefited blacks and whites and was 'based on mutual affection'
"Wilson has sought to recast slavery in the pre-Civil War South as a mutually beneficial relationship in many cases. In a 1996 pamphlet co-written by Wilson, Southern Slavery as It Was, he argued that '[s]lavery as it existed in the South was not an adversarial relationship with pervasive racial animosity.' According to Wilson, '[b]ecause of its predominantly #patriarchal character, it was a relationship based upon mutual affection and confidence.' He asserts that "[t]here has never been a multi-racial society which has existed with such mutual intimacy and harmony in the history of the world,' which he attributes to 'the predominance of Christianity.'
Wilson claims that '[s]lave life was to [the slaves] a life of plenty, of simple pleasures, of food, clothes and good medical care.' He urges people not to 'overlook the benefits of slavery for both blacks and whites.'
"In Wilson's 2005 book, Black and Tan, he defends #SouthernSlavery as It Was, and writes 'that slavery was far more benign in practice than it was made to appear in the literature of the #abolitionists.'' He also claims that slavery was biblically justified, claiming that 'the Christians who owned slaves in the South were on firm scriptural ground.' "

Impressive how Michael Douglas films can be seen as #patriarchal scripts for men of the 80s & 90s, on how to deal with #feminism.
"#JessaCrispin, critic and editor-in-chief of "The Culture We Deserve", talk about her new book "What Is Wrong with Men: #Patriarchy, the Crisis of #Masculinity, and How (Of Course) #MichaelDouglas Films Explain Everything", which tracks the #masculinitycrisis through #MichaelDouglasFilms."
"What is striking in the light of the recent charges in #Québec is not so much the #racist and #antisemitic ideological ideas allegedly held by the accused group members. It’s the primacy given to a #patriarchal ideology that explicitly targets #women and #gender." https://theconversation.com/not-just-a-few-bad-apples-the-canadian-armed-forces-has-a-nagging-far-right-problem-260896
