The thought experemnt is awful. It is however funny to imagine the power of beurocracy put behind this situation. If you imagine it abstracted without the human horror of it. Like, it would be ice agents and female immigrants so in a generation you would have effectively turned the white identity core of maga into biracial bilingual cadre with a deep seated and valid grudge against the government.
It doesn’t matter to point out hypocrisy but seeing how immediately any of their ideas fall appart with any actual thought is instructive
I don’t think there’s anything in the image that actually suggests the user means immigrants.
If you take away the idea that it’s migrants it becomes bringing back old school village matchmakers and arranged marriages, but as a national government program.
This is kinda spooky because such matchmaking and arranged marriage culture has worked historically, the only thing here is scaling it up into a national thing and normalising it within culture so that everyone just sees it as how things are. It’s not an impossible concept and that disturbs me quite a bit.
Yeah, there is no indication of how the policy woudl actually be carried out. That is because it has not been thought through that seriously. I am saying it doesn’t bear up to scrutiny in any meaningful way. That is simply the way I feel it could be most easily implemented today and how quickly it would fall appart.
such matchmaking and arranged marriage culture has worked historically
It worked in a very different socioeconomic system (and men had about as much choice as women in choosing their partner). In present-day society it will crash and burn on day 1.
I always thought the whole “state-mandated GF” meme meant that single women would be rounded up and handed out to incels, which isn’t quite the same thing as matchmaking. That, and that it was a meme advocated for only by the fringes of the fringe.
That kind of dynamic is basically what existed in the antebellum South, and it didn’t exactly get in the way of maintaining white supremacy (racial purity has always been socially constructed anyway). White men raping black slaves was very common, to the point that it was more or less an expectation, at least among the wealthy. This was the twisted logic behind the norm of “women should remain pure, but men should have experience,” which has carried over to the modern day even though it doesn’t make sense without an underclass of sex slaves.
Whether through knowing the history or through following the same logic to the same conclusions, that’s what reactionaries aim to recreate.

Well… you say that.
