I’ll start:
Idaho - when people think “racism in the United States” their minds go to the Deep South. The Deep South is absolutely pretty bad, and there’s of course the whole history with the confederacy so it makes sense that’s what we think of, but Idaho is let off the hook way too much given that it’s a hotbed of Nazis and Christian nationalists trying to form a white ethnostate. Idaho needs to be more closely linked to virulent racism like the Deep South currently is. And tbh I’ve been to the Deep South, I like it down there, it’s actually pretty diverse in many areas, if I had to live there it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. You couldn’t pay me to set foot in Idaho.
Gen X - look, if we’re gonna do generational warfare gen x needs a lot more hate. Sorry to any xers out there but boomers have been punching bags for a while, millenials are starting to get a good amount of hate, and they’ve always been made fun of for their Harry Potter and office love, tbh a lot of millennial shit is just considered cringe these days, gen z obviously gets all the “ugh what’s wrong with the youth” hate and this new media cycle has them being portrayed as pretty much the new hitler youth. Gen x needs to start getting some more hate, especially now with all these weird gen x venture capitalists influencing the trump admin trying to realize their vision of a neo fascist network state
Foster care and the welfare of and for the children need to be rebuilt from the ground up.
How should it be done?
I’d want to look more closer towards the Soviet and all other socialist state systems. If I recall, Anna Louise Strong’s books, specifically ‘this Soviet world’, have sections detailing the treatment of orphans in the post-revolutionary war period. I remember being rather impressed with what I read at the time. I also can think whatever adjustments I’d personally make would include working on destigmatizing the negative perception of being an orphan or a foster child among a plethora of other subjects that would need to be addressed.
Insofar as I’m concerned no child should be subject to abuse or alienation regardless of the circumstances of their birth or life.
