#fundamentalism — Public Fediverse posts

New Zealand report today. Australia, Canada, US, Ireland, France etc. before that.

Can we agree now, going forward, that giving priests and pastors access to or control over vulnerable children is a dangerously misguided idea?

6. Those who respond, "Well, they have a right to their peculiar religious beliefs," spectacularly miss the point. The point is that they intend to impose these beliefs on you and me by law, and they are working tirelessly to achieve that goal.

7. Spot the people of color in the footage of IBLP gatherings or young IBLP folks being groomed for political power. I challenge you to find them in any of that footage.

5. The cornerstone of the movement, its raison d'être: the absolute unquestioned right of men, straight ones, to own, control, command, the absolute obligation of women and everyone else to submit and obey.

One reason this movement continues to have such sway in US society is that many of us who are not part of that cultic world unquestioningly accept these cultural presuppositions based on gender stereotypes.

This female role is not only modeled: it's imposed by force on girls and young women, through disciplinary means, with older women as the enforcers.

And younger women just keep flocking to the movement, asking to be abused by men. Why?

4. One of the most stomach-churning aspects of the series is watching women in the IBLP network groom girls to be the kind of women the men leading the movement want: utterly submissive, hanging on men's every word, uttering mindless nothings in litte-girly voices, dressing in infantilizing outfits to please male eyes.

3. I cannot forget: at the very same time that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and their son Josh were making political hay by attacking LGBTQ people as a threat to children, Josh was downloading child pornography and had molested his own younger sisters -- and Jim Bob and Michelle knew and hid all of this.

Who's the real threat to children?

2. Discovery made the Duggars, hand-picked and gave them iconic status. Why?

Of all the families Discovery could have chosen to hold up as iconic, why the Duggars -- a right-wing Republican white Christian fundamentalist family in the small-town South? These are the people the media constantly chide us for not listening to in the Trump era. But there they are front and center on Discovery for years before Trump….

Thoughts on watching the Duggars exposé series "Shiny Happy People":

1. Why there's David Zaslav, now in the news as an éminence grise behind Chris Licht at CNN, as CNN tries rebranding itself as the alternative FOX. There's David Zaslav, in the thick of things as the Duggars vault to fame on the Discovery network, of which he's CEO.

What's that about, the Zaslav link to both of these stories?
