Due to over-consumption of resources and environmental pollution for some reason, the vast majority of Americans believe that they live in a country where there is no hope. Just when the rest of his life was spent in a hurry, the inability of human beings to continue to reproduce became the last straw.
So a few new elites stood up and advocated trying to change a social form to save this rotten country and completely end the indulgence and disorder of the old system. It sounds a bit similar to MAGA (Make America Great Again) in previous years. original intention.
Almost all the heinous "movements" in human history can have a beautiful original intention, and even the elite ladies have actively offered suggestions for the sacred "purification".
Relying on the vision of changing society to save the United States and establishing a new order, a small number of new elites gradually gained control over the country through the electoral system and public opinion.
A great man once said that power comes from the barrel of a gun.
Under the control of these new elites, the state apparatus began to operate at full speed, forcing all women out of work, suppressing dissident resistance, destroying and banning all channels of cultural transmission, physically eliminating all non-cooperators, cutting off Foreign connections, killing nationals trying to flee.
Strictly divide the rank and function of women. There are the privileged class of elite ladies and the service class of most infertile people. It has become the most typical feature of Gilead by gathering a small number of women with reproductive function for the high-level elites to breed offspring. , and even become capital that can be shown off to foreign dignitaries.
The most terrible thing is that this social system is not built on the will of one person, but a precision-operated whole, in which all the roles perform their own duties, and they have an extremely devout and purifying belief. For those who dare to resist, in addition to resolutely destroying them, they even reject them as if they were incomprehensible monsters.
Those elites who stand at the top of the food chain with high-sounding reasons, like the leaders of other "movements" in human history, use every opportunity to vent their deepest biological desires.
In fact, the country of Gilead is not a science fiction, but a history that has actually happened. The means used to fool and oppress in this play are just more dramatic. At the spiritual level, it is not even more brainwashed than some "sports" in the past.
Using people's emotions such as fear, despair, and worship to form a collective madness to achieve some ulterior motives seems to have been tried and tested in history.
If you still think it's none of your business, then yes, you will be next.
