Shuffling to Neo Feudalism.

Well, by now everyone has heard about SCOTUS and their plans for striking down Roe v Wade. [1] Certainly it's a move to making women more like chattel, more about power than anything else [2]. Riot on the streets some say. Lysistrata the Repubs. I mean sure, but plenty of women voted for this shit, people. All valid reactions tbf, given how many rights they're actually taking away here [3]. I also find little comfort in my I told you so's to the liberals who were sure the right was playing some long con and would never overturn Roe v Wade fully. After all what else would they rile up their base with? You mean the ones who can work themselves to a frothing anger over nothing? Yeah, they'll have plenty to get angry about. 



But maybe we should too. As I've said before, all this is slow marching us into a Neo-feudal future. From the cops having absolutely no civilian oversight, and fighting anyone who tries to improve them, to the constant bailouts for the superrich to the crazy financial situations right now and the runaway Climate Change that has still yet to hit us full speed (but, given our reactions, will most likely hasten the Neo feudal march). This is the main reason why I start most my fables with a once upon a time or future. 

[1] Lawyer friend tells me that nothing is set in stone, and hard to tell if this means they go through with it all the same language that Alito has (rather than some narrow definition that Roberts would prefer). 
[2] Note how concerned right wingers allow IVF exceptions, and target the poor and minorities if they simply have miscarriages or stillborn. And yeah, it was never about saving babies
[3] (rather than the made up fevered dreams shit  the right manages to get worked up about)
