Great video. I had no idea. Loved this so much.
Thank you!
I vomitted in my mouth a little at the text in the default image/cover image but curiosity killed the cat and here I am 😂
More deep dives. New person here.
I will!!!
I got dunce capped and told to stand in a corner of the classroom and face the corner the ENTIRE class period. Circa 2014. I never forgot Mrs Osborne , I never forgot.
Happened to me in 6th grade screw you Mrs.B lol
First time watching great video very interesting and learned a few things I hadn't heard of.
Thank you so much!!!!
Actually Malcolm X changed his last name to Shabazz, he took on Islamic name
man I just randomly had thought about this and the whole onslaught it brought of people explaining their lives through these little cards. I was fairly young maybe 8-9 or so but I was so sad that people could feel those ways with no one to talk to. Man the 2010s were crazy. I pray any and everyone dealing with mental health challenges makes it over that hump, you aren’t alone!
Skipped this on TikTok because I was so excited when you started doing long form content 🤩 this was so thorough and well done!
Ahhh thank you so much for coming over!!
I'm from your tiktok. You are doing amazing!! I love watching your videos. The videos aren't to long but long enough I can get things done around the house before I have to change it.
Thank you!!!
REWATCH: Still think you did a great Job. I could have listened longer❤
A rewatch wow! Thanks so much!
Great job!!! Gay service members were given a dishonorable discharge & kicked out.
Thanks!!
I fuckin love Jack Black! Speaking of pregnancy... when I was pregnant with myh twin daughters I had a (sorta?) wet dream about Jack Black LMAO!!! sooooper embarrassing!! sorry jb!
Samoas are the bestest girl scout cookie!!! Hands down! Thin mints are maybe runner up
ugh I love ur personality, Miley Cyrus vibes in the BEST way
Ty!!!
This was a great video!!
Thank you!!!
For some reason, I'm drawn to re-warching the handmaid's tale once again. Could it be a sign of things to come?🤔🤔🤔
I find myself re-watching it every few months, usually out of anxiety 😅
Thank you for mentioning how much the author took from Black women's lived experiences as enslaved people right here in this country. We should also talk about the enforced breeding practices since enslaved women were considered of value only if they were regular producers of "product" (enslaved children), so they were required to get pregnant as much as possible (or were just SA' d by the slave-masters and overseers) so that slave holders could grow wealthier. Those women who like to have their weddings at these beautiful looking plantations need to give some thought to the idea that those were basically "(r) ape camps", where women were forced to have children for sale.
I actually really wanted to talk about this. I just couldn’t find any direct sources for her taking inspiration from the breading plantations, but I’ve talked about it separately on TikTok just as the history lesson. Also people who have weddings at plantations are weirdos. I’m from Texas originally and the south has plenty of beautiful venues without any antebellum ties. There’s literally no reason to have a plantation wedding in my opinion.
This sounds like Project 2025.
Ding ding ding 🛎️
Super great video, thank you!
Thank you!
@@DaisyFoko 😊
You did fantastic!! Thank you for doing all this research!
Thank you so much!
I looooove watching the longer videos as I work pls pls pls keep up with them!!
I will! Especially with Tiktok getting deleted TH-cam is probably gonna become my main platform
@@vitoriafactor7571 I tend to watch it while I'm doing dishes and cooking (can't watch at work)... but yes. I love having these long form videos.
Absolutely loved this. You rocked the long form and THANK YOU for highlighting this important work and history. We need it right now!
Thank you so much!! And absolutely if we don’t know our history, we are doomed to repeat it
@DaisyFoko I wholeheartedly agree.
I've always found it a bit of a flawed approach to mesh up things that have already happened, yes, but in widely different circumstances, times and areas of the world. To me, it was less impactful while reading than if Atwood had built on just one phenomenon, because it felt like a bad faith thought experiment. However, this was ten years ago, and I'm astonished at how this book gets more and more relevant by the year, because these wildly different forms of oppression really do seem to be concentrated in current US politics. So there's probably more to this approach than I initially thought.
That’s a very valid perspective and I like that you were like maybe there’s more to this approach than I thought because I think a lot of people who read the book in school echoed that sentiment of like yes these are all extreme instances, but it’s even more extreme for them to be happening simultaneously. I talked about that a lot with my dad actually and he pretty much shared your perspective in the last few years. He has also been like hmmmm
This video is fucking amazing! I've read the book and watched the series- but embarrassingly didn't know much about the history behind it. Thank you! ❤
Thank you!! And that’s not embarrassing like I said a lot of this stuff is pretty niche like the American plan and it doesn’t get covered in school!
Slipshod research throughout. Truman in fact moved with Nina (mother) to Greenwich, Ct. and Manhattan in his high school days. She didn’t disappear from his life.
Very good video, but I have to add the clarification that during the totalitarian regime in Argentina, the "breeding" wasn't done for racial purposes nor did that play a factor, just as a form of general control, since the people executed and tortured weren't discriminated per se, everyone living under dictatorships was a target. If anything, it depended whether the commanders in charge of the torture centers felt like keeping the children.
Interesting I’ll have to look more more into that!
Congratulations on your engagement.
Thank you!!
This was great!
Thank you!!!
The pairing people up to stay close and being encouraged to snitch and CLOSELY survail each other is also used heavily during the mormon mission, what is largely described as a very difficult part of many ex-mormons mission testimonies.
I didn’t know that while I was making this, but a couple other people have said that too, and I am actually so fascinated by that because I had no idea
Also on the forced surrogacy aspect, in American Slavery, black women were forced to give birth to create more laborers for the white masters. And on another note when Fred takes June to the secret men's club, it reminds me of when white masters would take on black women as mistresses.
Fire vid , sad to see TikTok go but at least we still got daisy 🔥🔥
Thank you 🥹
Islam was the inspiration here
Partly yes
@ that isn’t to say other religions aren’t a problem. However Islam is inherently much worse not only because of the beliefs many of its followers hold (a moderate Muslim is about as bad as a right wing evangelical) Any ideology that attempts to deny basic rights like free speech, bodily autonomy, equality, is a problem. IMO we should not be trying to force people not to say bad things. Fascism is never brought about by a majority. Fascism is always the socially acceptable view and if you take the premises of various fascist ideologies to be true then they make sense. Any ideology that otherises people and strips them of their rights for the benefit of society as a whole is fascist. It doesn’t matter if we have intolerant people saying intolerant things provided rights are constitutionally guaranteed for all. History shows it is when rights are selectively denied for groups “everyone knows are bad” that you introduce loopholes whereby you can deny certain people rights like free speech or bodily autonomy because they are supposedly intolerant or dangerous. The “paradox of tolerance” and those who promote denying rights of people they disagree with IMO is a gateway to fascism. Equal rights guaranteed by a constitution, democracy, free speech, and rights to bodily autonomy and no death penalty. These are the most important aspects to a free society. Trying to punish people for breaking social taboo or for speech is what leads to fascism, as does religion or strictly held and tautological moral standards. Any ideology that uses its own doctrine as justification is dangerous and is ideology over pragmatism. Islam is the biggest threat to women’s rights in my country certainly. In American it is probably Christianity, but here in the UK we are sleepwalking into the medieval era with laws protecting the religious feelings of people who worship a rapist. Religion can easily be twisted to do evil. Vigilance in the form of maintaining the freedoms of those we despise the most is imperative. Women are not property, they are feiends
No it wasn’t. I think it pretty clear the the inspiration is Christianity. It’s pretty much spelled out…
It happens just after and during the Iranian revolution that turned the once Free women of Iran into slaves of their man @@coethiel
Everytime I open TH-cam the first thing I do is check if you’ve made a new video ❤
Wait tysm 🥹
Thank you so much for all of your time collecting these historical references and compiling them into this concise video!! So many horrifying layers to this story, and frightful tale of facism
Thank you so much!!!

Yes. I literally hate those bitches lol
can you look in to maybe considering making a video on Roch Thériault and the ant hill kids cult?
Loved it! I dont know you from tiktok, the algorithm fed this to me because i like The Handmaid’s Tale and video essays. Nice work! The visuals and the evidence are very compelling and your script was great 💐💐
Thank you so much!! I actually have never tried using a script before I just compile notes and go off the dome!
OMG I had no idea you were on YT! I saw this vid and was like “that name looks familiar…” I’m so stoked to find this
I AM!! I just started posting more consistently this year!
Very impressive breakdown. Love. ❤️
Thank you!!
The algorithm recommended this video and I really enjoyed it! Keep up the great work
Thank you so much!!!
I just googled the American plan, big yikes
Right???
I think I will be surprised every time I watch the truth behind this series.
It’s so crazy
I would love to see a video about all the lessons you’ve learned about protecting yourself, and then briefly commenting on which case taught you each tactic ❤️
That would be so interesting
Very cool! I dont even watch that show and found your video interesting.
Hell yeah!!
Mormons to this day also employ the "snitch on your partner" tactic. When they go on mission, they can't EVER be alone, not even to go to the bathroom (the partner doesn't look, but is in the same room). This is to prevent them from "sinning", and snitching is heavily encouraged
Woahhhh I had no idea about the bathroom thing
As do scientologist
you do a great job! i love listening to these!
Thank you!!!
So glad I found your TH-cam by chance!
Me too!! With the tiktok ban I’ll be freed up to pour a lot more time into yt!
My MiL is one of the indigenous who was forcibly taken from her mother upon birth and grew up in a white home. She didn't even have the chance to meet her biological mother until she was an adult.
My family has had similar experiences & now we have not connection to the culture
Émile is not pronounced like Emily. the -e is silent, as in all french words or names ending on -e. the way you pronounced it, it would be a female name, but Émile Zola was a man
Ohhh thank you!
