FUCKING PREACH
It’s all about control, sexism, racism, it’s not about babies or lives or the Bible
Okay, but I've seen this argument thrown around for years, and I never believed it because it's been pushed into my brain since I was a child by my extremely Christian parents that abortion is fundamentally evil because it goes against the Bible. But I'm taking a 2nd Wave Feminism course and I finally found out that this is actually 100% true? Until the Reagan campaign and associated Republican politicians tried to find another social issue to sway Southerners, especially Southern women, in their favor, abortion was not a primary issue for churches. It was only when feminists started mobilizing and, as a result, many institutions such as the Catholic church tried to mobilize against them that churches started advocating against abortion. Abortion did not become an issue of morality for the right until the 70s. Before then, abortion was simply not discussed because most things relating to sex weren't publicly discussed. So no, according to popular belief, the argument that abortions are killing babies did not always exist, it was just an argument crafted when the Republican party needed another social group to oppress for political points
Of course it was Reagan
Why’s it always Reagan?
there’s a very good you’re wrong about episode that covers the rise of the anti-choice movement

tv shows pre-2000s would have a gimmick they'd use in the climax of every episode. like if Breaking Bad aired in the 80s they'd be macgyvering their way out of every sticky situation using the power of chemistry like the car battery in the pilot or the bit with the fulminated mercury. it would've been educational

Wes Anderson's body of work gives the impression of someone who would've wanted to be french so bad and is coping as best as he can
i feel like sometimes the narratives around video games get spread around a little unevenly ie. people will make video essays about Cookie Clicker with titles like "A Biting Commentary On The Nature Of Capitalism" meanwhile Vampire Survivors gets thumbnails like "it's fun to play because you're a FUCKING MORON"

the term "real estate" was invented in the early 2000s to differentiate it from the rising market of land in virtual worlds ie. Second Life, etc
as a kid my options for video games besides macintosh freeware were limited so i'd buy gaming magazines and read the walkthroughs and sit there in evocative wonder reading arcane phrases like "Search by the right of the cathedral to find 1 Echo Screen"
