re: #400 EPR-radar

Too true. A significant part of the US right has gone so far with its eliminationist rhetoric that they can reasonably be regarded as advocating for genocide.

It’s particularly irksome when they attribute that same desire to political opponents —- e.g., accusing those that want to address income inequality of wanting to kill off the rich.

I disagree about the genocide part; it’s more nuanced than normal politics versus calls for extermination.

They want a system where they’re the whole of the enfranchised. They’re already experimenting with this. There’s also a kind of back end strategy going on, where you strip away secular institutions, and the Wrong Kind of Sacred Institutions, leaving people dependent on their particular brand of mixed politics/religion.
