“The right is trying to kill global trade to protect the ‘traditional family.’ The first funny thing about this is that they’re actually talking about the male breadwinner model of marriage and not, as discussed, the actual traditional family of subsistence farmers. They’re confused because everyone on the right is either allergic to an accurate depiction of history or is a lying (sorry, ‘Straussian’) Nazi fuck. The second funny thing about this is that the male breadwinner model of marriage was only ever available to anyone because: 1. The US military had reduced everyone else’s factories to rubble … 2. FDR and his allies legalized and streamlined international trade to take advantage of global demand … Free(r) trade with the rest of the world created the post-war prosperity of the 1950s and 1960s that made the US the richest country on Earth.” (05/05/25)
