why did the ruling class do this? i have vague ideas but not sure what is the actually correct analysis
- jesus
republican people with power actually believe the crap they say and/or know their voters do, so they genuinely just dont want abortions to happen because jesus
- class warfare
millennials arent having enough babies to support the labour pool + people with children make for better cogs, since they are less likely to stir shit and cause problems for their employers/landlords as they will feel they have more to risk
- fascist state
hearing stories from people reporting on their neighbours in texas, its about creating a fascist panopticon with people increasingly policing themselves and everyone they interact with across the country, with more things to police about each other to be added in the future
is it one of these, or a mix, or something else, or is it pointless to even search for the “correct” analysis here?
I think there’s also an element of, the ruling class doesn’t necessarily care one way or another, but whipping up the hogs over it means more people will be on board with right wing control of the court. Now that they have what they wanted, they don’t have a reason not to give the chuds what they promised, it doesn’t cost them a dime.
