I had forgotten this. :barf: Is Handmaiden's Tale still a thing or has it dropped from public consciousness?

My funny political thing for the moment is remembering all the people who threatened to burn down the capitol building if Trump seated justice in place of RBG.

there was a Netflix series of it or something which is why it caught on for a while

that in turn reminds me of the viral marketing for Man in the High Castle:

it was like a prime show or something. first season is basically the book and its good, because the book itself is good. second season diverges from the ending of the book and apparently shits the bed pretty bad (never got around to watching it myself) so i guess everyone just forgot about it

After like a month of people telling Ilhan Omar to resign for saying the "PAC" in "AIPAC" stands for "Public Affairs Committee", Trump did a keynote address at some sort of Jewish convention and the entire speech was basically "You people are only loyal to money and your country, Israel, which is why I love you" and all the scolds were just like "hmmm maybe try to adjust your tone mr president?"

I didn't read it either but Zizek, who also admitted to not reading it, called it nostalgia for the present, which seems very apt.

I don't remember if it was Chelsea Clinton, but someone during Ilhangate claimed "all about the Benjamins" was a reference to Benjamin Netanyahu

the book itself is good, you may have gathered that it's about a woman surviving in a repressed, ultrareligious populist society where fertility is a dire issue so her uterus is state property and she gets loaned out for sex and procreation to rich government people

the first season of the tv adaptation is good too, but after that (which is where the book ends) it rapidly starts turning Sorkinesque, with said disenfranchised women subverting the government and sowing the seeds of rebellion in increasingly preposterous scenarios



what's succ is wearing the costumes to protest

I wouldn't say they're missing the point necessarily, they're just focusing on one part of it in a histrionic fashion and wearing the costumes is lame

oh and in my brief recap of the book I should have mentioned that the global fertility crisis hits first and that precipitates the fundamentalist revolution in America, since people think god's punishing the world by causing children to die in the womb, it's similar to Children of Men
