@@lorin7516, I get it but I don't agree. Islam has never been "reformed" as Christianity had been, and basically there are other huge differences. For many Christians nowadays, religion is rather a tradition and at the end of the day more or less trying to live according to the 10 commandments and an occasional church visit will do the trick. As opposed to this, Islam is far more strict and demanding with daily routines and practical religious doctrines. I am talking about average terms. Even the most lenient form of Islam is more strict than the stricter versions of Christianity. And many Muslims consider Islam more like a mixture of religion and politics which does not tolerate anything else eventually. There are always exceptions and I know some. But unfortunately these are serious issues which totally justify and give meaning to an occasional "cough" into such a debate.
I suggest everyone to read the book itself. Of course the content is similar, but the prowess of Margaret Atwood as a writer and the way she makes words come to life is something everyone needs to experience.
No thanks, this show makes me so tense and full of anxiety and sadness but 8I can't stop watching it. I will defo not be reading or rewatching it again, even though I love it.
@@JinJinDoe I’m listening to the audio book at the moment and it really did cause me mad anxiety- I’ve never really felt that way before and it just make me feel scared for what the future could hold. Having said that though, I’d definitely recommend it. I’m going to watch the series after I finish the audiobook.
@@OlivaPelle Im also listening to the audiobook and have the same plan to watch the series once I'm done! Its got a good story, really dark. The narrator for the audiobook I'm listening to (Claire Danes) does a great job at capturing the mood.
He is right though. The best you can do as a leader is make decisions that benefit the majority of the people, as there will always be people who don't agree with your policies. That's why there are so many problems with all kinds of minority groups in modern politics that could easily be solved by just ignoring them. Once you start listening and catering to minorities (Hillary, Pelosi) instead of doing what is best for most people (or as Hillary called them, "deplorables"), you get an umbalanced society that eventually comes crashing down. I don't approve of the way women are treated in Gilead at all, but in a world where fertility is at an extreme low, women who prefer a career over having children is unacceptable because the survival of the human species is more important than individual freedom and having a career. And the same of course goes for men. So at its core (and minus the religious bullshit) the Sons of Jacob were right; they did save humanity, but they took it to an extreme by treating women like cattle.
The book only hints at the violence by focussing on immediate surroundings. It suggests that the violence and the larger picture is so bad that all you can do is deal with what's immediately around you. It's written brilliantly.
@@rohansrider Try Prophet of Zod, Aron Ra, GMS, Viced Rhino, Belief It Or NOt, Hbomberguy and Cody Johnston. They all takle Issues of 'Unhealthy Religion' just like Holy Koolaid does.
Genuine question, how graphic does the book get? I really want to read or watch the handmaid’s tale, but I suffer from PTSD due to SA. I know for a fact I would never be able to watch it, it would be far too much for me. I just really wanna read it but I’m worried that I won’t be able to.
@@ionabab7274 it’s has been on the A level syllabus . The miniseries is extremely violent but the book is not . The book Was written quite a while ago and doesn’t prepare the viewer for the brutality of Gilead as shown in TV. . I urge you to read the book and I’m sure you will enjoy the excellent prose of Margaret Atwood.
the wives are mainly wives of commanders since the time before, some of them can bear children but as most people can’t they like rotate handmaids around so important men can have babies (the wives act as the almost platonic companion of the husband and the mother of the child while the handmaids act as a walking uterus)
@@griselgriselda2901 Alas, it's only a novel. And personally, I loved it. It's not a critique of Christianity, per se. It's more of a critique or warning about a totalitarian fundamentalist version of Christianity. And Christianity being the predominant religion in North America (where the story takes place), it is not out of context. It sounds like your family are lovely people. That's good to hear. Also, I wasn't imploring people to "Read the book" for the sake of reading, but to respond to the question being asked.
The lady who plays Aunt Lydia is a BEAST at acting. I was astounded by her. Absolutely terrifying performance. I haven’t been that moved by an evil female villain since Mercy, with Cathy Bates. She does so good in this.
Handmaids Tale is LITERALLY (sometimes word for word) the Future Atheist-TH-camrs wanna prevent. Its a Theocracy, which real Americans really and for real request right-now. The Show even literally says the Bad-Guys replaced the Constitution with the 10 Commandments. Am i the only one who recognizes this to be an actual Thing that COnservatvies in fact fight for and that A-Channel fight-back against?
I haven't watched the shpw, so I don't know if I have the right to say this, but after reading both books, The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments, I have to say that Aunt Lydia isn't the terrible person she seems to be in the first book. All the things she does, everyone she betrays, everyone she abuses, yes, I know it all happened, but when you see things from her perspective, you really can't help but admire her will to survive, her will to adapt. Of course, this doesn't justify everything she does, of course it doesn't even come close. But still, I think it's unfair to call her a villain. She's just a human, with a misguided but still incredible urge to keep on living. And I think she deserves some credit for that. *Note: I'm sorry if this was offensive; I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, but I just thought I should take the chance to defend one of the best characters from the series (in my opinion).
Oh man if you love Ann Dowd in this, then you need to see The Leftovers, not only is it one of the best TV series of all time, with easily the best score of any tv series, she acts her ass off in every scene she's in.
@@chunkysnail9351 Quick Question: how is a fetus that has no brain, no central nervous system, no feelings and no circular system a human baby? (I do agree that after 14 weeks it is a baby and that it should be protected)
@@Convention_De_Geneve yes and there are only two states where abortion is illegal beyond 6 weeks. In literally every single one of the other 48 and DC, abortion is permitted up until at least 22 weeks, well beyond your idea of 14 weeks when the infant's life should be protected. So basically all but 2 states allow for abortion a full 2 months beyond the point where you said life should be protected. So how are Republican states the problem here? There have been infants born premature who have survived at 20 weeks. I think your initial tongue-in-cheek comment about Republican states is a little disingenuous. I'm glad you agree that it is a life at 14 weeks though.
I’m here because I was watching the try guys try on sexy costumes and they had one of the handmaid‘s tale and I was curious so I looked up the trailer now I understand why people were so offended 😂🤦🏾♀️
@@David-un4cs I don't think being against killing unborn babies is the same as women being banned from reading and writing. Dont be dramatic. If you want to kill as many babies as you want whenever you want, go to California or New York.
Qwa'ha Xahn Vahla ha'nesh ok so im curious is it really THAT scary? because I think about if i should buy the novel because all the trailers and everything looks so interesting but im only 13 and a little bit scared that im going to have nightmares for the rest of my life😂 but i don't think the trailer or description looks so scary
Not wrong. The simple fact is, a vote for Republicans is a vote against democracy. The US is on the precipice of completely backsliding into authoritarian/totalitarian neo-fascism. There are only two political parties in America, one that still values the US Constitution and democracy, and one that does not!
I rewatched the trailer and came to the comment section for the same reason, you're the only person I've seen mention that case. Unfortunately, the book/show has many similarities of things that happen currently.
I actually get angry watching this. I suppose that's a tribute to how well the show is put together. What scares me is that there are people out there who would love an opportunity to establish a vicious theocracy like this. This programme is not as far fetched as it might immediately seem.
@@sundance81677 So you want to talk equality? I give you equality. The job market is already competitive as it is. For men to make money they need to put in their blood, sweat, and tears. While women are able to make huge profits from the sex market not needing to do any of the above. Either that be traditionally prostitution or being dancers. But more common now is only-fans, Instagram, tik-tok, and other social media. Women have hundreds of avenues to make a profit in the hundreds of thousands of dollars at a very young age. While the average man at the same age would just get by working minimum wage jobs or make a little better pay through backbreaking manual labor. That is why more workplace deaths are men, and why men work more hazardous jobs. We need to struggle to make a living. Or the other option which are illegal but offer jobs where you don’t need to break your back, but only risk your entire future. Why do you think men are drawn into criminal work? Selling drugs etc? Drawback is more men are in the prison system then women. Again, because for men to make money we need more then just our looks. Men are inherently born with no value in comparison to women. Men have to create value in life, while women can just be. Women have the option to exploit their bodies and make a net worth of millions by the time they are 25 off of the sexual market. Why this is to begin with? For women to make this much money from men online is because there is a direct imbalance in the sex market. But to you, it is empowering to make profit off of exploiting men? The average man is having less sex then ever before. This again is from statistics. Due to the introduction of online dating, a woman can get option from hundreds of men. From which they only choose the 1 or 2% of the best which she’d label ‘attractive’. But tell me how many men can fit the modern woman’s expectations from a man? Such as having a six figure salary? All women look for something that is better, they believe they deserve the cream of the top. Do men think the same? No. Why is it that men are perfectly fine with dating a mcdonalds worker, and women are not? Why it is that every woman if not look for money from a man, look for ambition and goals? Is it the same with men? No. You want to discuss equality as if we are the same. But the reality is we are different. You only want the benefits of being a man but not the drawbacks. You don’t want the manual labour jobs but the jobs in the managerial positions. You don’t want to die with men in the frontlines as soldiers but sit back and complain about patriarchy. Men are distilled not to complain about our problems but only listen to yours. But it is statistically proven that an average man’s life is far harder then a woman’s life can ever be. You do not share our difficulties in life, and you have zero empathy for any difficulties men have. And you expect modern men to give you any empathy in return?
I had no idea what the storyline was so needless to say the first episode traumatized me! I am glad, though, that I pushed through and kept with it (even though season 4 has been lackluster to me)
And I came here to see if I was the only one who felt this way... I just came across the series. I'm glad to see people have been struggling too since the show started... Being a woman, this series is scary. Especially coz there's a group of people I can actually see doing this in the future

I made quick calculations on the time frame of the novel (the handmaid's tale). on page 207, the main character said she's 33 now and she remember that when she was 7 years old her mother told her of the holocaust story that happened 40 years ago 1945+40-7+33 = 2011 so the year of the time frame is 2011 the author wrote this book 1985 so essentially she was predicting what would happen 26 years from that time
@@someoneoutthere5481 oh really? you think Margaret Atwood is a science fiction writer and not a political writer? in any case if you knew anything about science fiction it is often a reaction to a trend in society where they use a future scenario to show what could happen if such trends are left unchecked. this book is absolutely a warning to humanity. and now we are seeing some of this type of thing happen under the covid scam.
@@RedroomStudios the handmaids tale has been referred to as a scathing satire and a dire warning.

Frankly this is just what happens when you trade freedom for security, and democracy for tyranny. Once you're at the mercy of a single person or small group, no one's voice matters. And whoever the enemies of the dictator are become the enemies of the state. Religion has nothing to do with it, as many religious groups have been targeted in dictatorships. Religion is only one of may tools used by dictators to justify terrible actions. But religion has also influenced many to take action against a corrupt society and overturn it.
This is what happens when you shoot a series of a script that was written so someone could earn money on it. No religion or politics does this crap grow up
@@chrishansen4541 Influenced, yes. In the past. But in modern times there is a reason why most liberal countries have laws about church n state separation.
I'm disappointed in the fact there's people who actually support a society like this and there's also a bunch of pissed off Christians who apparently think they're so untouchable that we're not allowed to create a dystopian novel based on religious values and beliefs. Get over yourselves.
This is always the dumbest comment. There isn't a real amount of people who support a society like this, so stop crying. There's also some people who worship squirrels and only eat nuts but I'm not disappointed in them. We don't count the psychopaths.
This is why I'm not religious and will never be religious again. I won't judge others for being religious as long as they don't use their religion to do shit like this, and I will not stamp on people's freedom to practice their religion peacefully, but in general, I just dislike the concept of religion and will not be converting to any religion ever, no matter what people say.

That’s exactly what the writer (Margaret Atwood) said, everything she wrote in the book (and the series) has happened before (and/or still happens to this day). It’s quite frightening.
Actually, it already *has* happened. Margaret herself (the author) has said that her rule when writing the book was that all events that take place in the book must have already occurred in the past (she did not want to be accused of coming up with twisted inventions), ie. divisions of class by clothes, hanging on the wall, women forced to bear children, reading being prohibited, etc. has all happened before.

@@larissaleigh4488 I don’t think you understand WHY there is a continual need to keep the momentum of change going, I don’t know if you know, but Afghanistan was pretty liberal for women (in that they could wear miniskirts and attend University) before the Russian invasion and then the subsequent government and civil changes brought them to their current state (which is actually not too far from the women of Gilead). Women’s rights once won are not forever unless we are vigilant in making sure we continue to move forward ( as can be seen in the politicisation of abortion and birth control). As a woman with brothers, sometimes I over hear them talking about things in a way that worries me because they don’t understand how that particular view or change would impact a woman negatively, because they don’t experience it and have never had to worry about it. For you, you might think that some women are over reacting or not doing the work in areas where it needs to be done, but tell me how you work to ensure that our work is not undone, or how you help women (like those in Afghanistan) who live a restricted life because of their gender? Please stop trolling and educate yourself on why there is a large population of your country’s citizens who are worried about this type of situation happening for them at some point.
@@OlivaPelle First of all, if you disagree with someone that doesnt make them a troll lmao. Theres a difference between trolling and having an opinion you disagree with. And obviously rights for women in this country are WAYYYYYY past "wearing miniskirts and going to University" I mean just look at the sheer privilege and decadence in this country with an open eye and tell me you can see womens rights getting reduced to nothing anytime in the near future 💀 And honestly, there is no need to "keep the momentum of change going" when in this country, there really isnt anything else that should be changed, and it is a waste of time, money and energy to do "AcTiViSm" for things like womens pants needing pockets, and tampons needing to be free, and man spreading and normalizing painting with period blood. If someone wants to be a feminist, cool with me, but if they want to say they're a feminist and whine about trivial shit from a country where they have never had a body part chopped off for learning to read or been hidden from society whenever they have their period or be killed for having intercourse out of wedlock, then they're not a (real) feminist, they're just trying to be trendy and woke while not understanding any real issues, and that's not cool with me.

@@JinJinDoe I’m listening to the audio book at the moment and it really did cause me mad anxiety- I’ve never really felt that way before and it just make me feel scared for what the future could hold.

He is right though.
The best you can do as a leader is make decisions that benefit the majority of the people, as there will always be people who don't agree with your policies.
That's why there are so many problems with all kinds of minority groups in modern politics that could easily be solved by just ignoring them.
Once you start listening and catering to minorities (Hillary, Pelosi) instead of doing what is best for most people (or as Hillary called them, "deplorables"), you get an umbalanced society that eventually comes crashing down.
I don't approve of the way women are treated in Gilead at all, but in a world where fertility is at an extreme low, women who prefer a career over having children is unacceptable because the survival of the human species is more important than individual freedom and having a career.
And the same of course goes for men.
So at its core (and minus the religious bullshit) the Sons of Jacob were right; they did save humanity, but they took it to an extreme by treating women like cattle.

I don't get it. If they value fertility so much, why are ths fertile women the servants and the infertile the wives? Shouldn't it be reversed?
They're rich, think of it as the monarchy in the past
the wives are mainly wives of commanders since the time before, some of them can bear children but as most people can’t they like rotate handmaids around so important men can have babies (the wives act as the almost platonic companion of the husband and the mother of the child while the handmaids act as a walking uterus)
Carolline Macêdo walking uterus.well mentioned haha
Read the book.
@@griselgriselda2901 Alas, it's only a novel. And personally, I loved it. It's not a critique of Christianity, per se. It's more of a critique or warning about a totalitarian fundamentalist version of Christianity. And Christianity being the predominant religion in North America (where the story takes place), it is not out of context. It sounds like your family are lovely people. That's good to hear. Also, I wasn't imploring people to "Read the book" for the sake of reading, but to respond to the question being asked.
Who else is here while conservatives are trying pass project 2025?
And if you sort the comments by newest first, it's downright scary.
ye, been warning for Years...... this is what they want, or something less obvious at first....
The lady who plays Aunt Lydia is a BEAST at acting. I was astounded by her. Absolutely terrifying performance. I haven’t been that moved by an evil female villain since Mercy, with Cathy Bates. She does so good in this.
Handmaids Tale is LITERALLY (sometimes word for word) the Future Atheist-TH-camrs wanna prevent.
Its a Theocracy, which real Americans really and for real request right-now.
The Show even literally says the Bad-Guys replaced the
Constitution with the 10 Commandments. Am i the only one who recognizes
this to be an actual Thing that COnservatvies in fact fight for and that A-Channel fight-back against?
she's great!! possibly the best actress in the serie
I haven't watched the shpw, so I don't know if I have the right to say this, but after reading both books, The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments, I have to say that Aunt Lydia isn't the terrible person she seems to be in the first book. All the things she does, everyone she betrays, everyone she abuses, yes, I know it all happened, but when you see things from her perspective, you really can't help but admire her will to survive, her will to adapt. Of course, this doesn't justify everything she does, of course it doesn't even come close. But still, I think it's unfair to call her a villain. She's just a human, with a misguided but still incredible urge to keep on living. And I think she deserves some credit for that.
*Note: I'm sorry if this was offensive; I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, but I just thought I should take the chance to defend one of the best characters from the series (in my opinion).
Oh man if you love Ann Dowd in this, then you need to see The Leftovers, not only is it one of the best TV series of all time, with easily the best score of any tv series, she acts her ass off in every scene she's in.

@@Convention_De_Geneve yes and there are only two states where abortion is illegal beyond 6 weeks. In literally every single one of the other 48 and DC, abortion is permitted up until at least 22 weeks, well beyond your idea of 14 weeks when the infant's life should be protected. So basically all but 2 states allow for abortion a full 2 months beyond the point where you said life should be protected. So how are Republican states the problem here? There have been infants born premature who have survived at 20 weeks.
I think your initial tongue-in-cheek comment about Republican states is a little disingenuous. I'm glad you agree that it is a life at 14 weeks though.

For some reason the current roe v wade case in the SCOTUS made me think of this show
Not wrong. The simple fact is, a vote for Republicans is a vote against democracy. The US is on the precipice of completely backsliding into authoritarian/totalitarian neo-fascism.
There are only two political parties in America, one that still values the US Constitution and democracy, and one that does not!
I rewatched the trailer and came to the comment section for the same reason, you're the only person I've seen mention that case. Unfortunately, the book/show has many similarities of things that happen currently.
I had this exact same thought
Cry harder at the thought of losing the ability to kill children sicko.
there you go...
I actually get angry watching this. I suppose that's a tribute to how well the show is put together. What scares me is that there are people out there who would love an opportunity to establish a vicious theocracy like this. This programme is not as far fetched as it might immediately seem.

@@sundance81677
So you want to talk equality?
I give you equality.
The job market is already competitive as it is.
For men to make money they need to put in their blood, sweat, and tears.
While women are able to make huge profits from the sex market not needing to do any of the above.
Either that be traditionally prostitution or being dancers. But more common now is only-fans, Instagram, tik-tok, and other social media.
Women have hundreds of avenues to make a profit in the hundreds of thousands of dollars at a very young age. While the average man at the same age would just get by working minimum wage jobs or make a little better pay through backbreaking manual labor. That is why more workplace deaths are men, and why men work more hazardous jobs. We need to struggle to make a living.
Or the other option which are illegal but offer jobs where you don’t need to break your back, but only risk your entire future. Why do you think men are drawn into criminal work? Selling drugs etc? Drawback is more men are in the prison system then women.
Again, because for men to make money we need more then just our looks.
Men are inherently born with no value in comparison to women. Men have to create value in life, while women can just be.
Women have the option to exploit their bodies and make a net worth of millions by the time they are 25 off of the sexual market. Why this is to begin with? For women to make this much money from men online is because there is a direct imbalance in the sex market.
But to you, it is empowering to make profit off of exploiting men?
The average man is having less sex then ever before. This again is from statistics.
Due to the introduction of online dating, a woman can get option from hundreds of men. From which they only choose the 1 or 2% of the best which she’d label ‘attractive’.
But tell me how many men can fit the modern woman’s expectations from a man?
Such as having a six figure salary?
All women look for something that is better, they believe they deserve the cream of the top.
Do men think the same? No.
Why is it that men are perfectly fine with dating a mcdonalds worker, and women are not?
Why it is that every woman if not look for money from a man, look for ambition and goals?
Is it the same with men? No.
You want to discuss equality as if we are the same. But the reality is we are different. You only want the benefits of being a man but not the drawbacks. You don’t want the manual labour jobs but the jobs in the managerial positions. You don’t want to die with men in the frontlines as soldiers but sit back and complain about patriarchy.
Men are distilled not to complain about our problems but only listen to yours. But it is statistically proven that an average man’s life is far harder then a woman’s life can ever be.
You do not share our difficulties in life, and you have zero empathy for any difficulties men have. And you expect modern men to give you any empathy in return?

I made quick calculations on the time frame of the novel (the handmaid's tale).
on page 207, the main character said she's 33 now and she remember that when she was 7 years old her mother told her of the holocaust story that happened 40 years ago
1945+40-7+33 = 2011
so the year of the time frame is 2011
the author wrote this book 1985 so essentially she was predicting what would happen 26 years from that time
the author wasn;t predicting this would happen, it's a sci-fi series, they are supposed to take place in the future.
@@someoneoutthere5481 oh really? you think Margaret Atwood is a science fiction writer and not a political writer? in any case if you knew anything about science fiction it is often a reaction to a trend in society where they use a future scenario to show what could happen if such trends are left unchecked. this book is absolutely a warning to humanity. and now we are seeing some of this type of thing happen under the covid scam.
@@RedroomStudios the handmaids tale has been referred to as a scathing satire and a dire warning. It’s less of a prediction as it is a parody of both liberal and conservative values regarding women taken to their logical conclusions.

Frankly this is just what happens when you trade freedom for security, and democracy for tyranny. Once you're at the mercy of a single person or small group, no one's voice matters. And whoever the enemies of the dictator are become the enemies of the state. Religion has nothing to do with it, as many religious groups have been targeted in dictatorships. Religion is only one of may tools used by dictators to justify terrible actions. But religion has also influenced many to take action against a corrupt society and overturn it.

@@larissaleigh4488 I don’t think you understand WHY there is a continual need to keep the momentum of change going, I don’t know if you know, but Afghanistan was pretty liberal for women (in that they could wear miniskirts and attend University) before the Russian invasion and then the subsequent government and civil changes brought them to their current state (which is actually not too far from the women of Gilead). Women’s rights once won are not forever unless we are vigilant in making sure we continue to move forward ( as can be seen in the politicisation of abortion and birth control). As a woman with brothers, sometimes I over hear them talking about things in a way that worries me because they don’t understand how that particular view or change would impact a woman negatively, because they don’t experience it and have never had to worry about it. For you, you might think that some women are over reacting or not doing the work in areas where it needs to be done, but tell me how you work to ensure that our work is not undone, or how you help women (like those in Afghanistan) who live a restricted life because of their gender?

And honestly, there is no need to "keep the momentum of change going" when in this country, there really isnt anything else that should be changed, and it is a waste of time, money and energy to do "AcTiViSm" for things like womens pants needing pockets, and tampons needing to be free, and man spreading and normalizing painting with period blood. If someone wants to be a feminist, cool with me, but if they want to say they're a feminist and whine about trivial shit from a country where they have never had a body part chopped off for learning to read or been hidden from society whenever they have their period or be killed for having intercourse out of wedlock, then they're not a (real) feminist, they're just trying to be trendy and woke while not understanding any real issues, and that's not cool with me.

“Better doesn’t mean better for everyone” then find a better better.
Handmaids Tale is LITERALLY (sometimes word for word) the Future Atheist-TH-camrs wanna prevent.
Its a Theocracy, which real Americans really and for real request right-now.
The Show even literally says the Bad-Guys replaced the
Constitution with the 10 Commandments. Am i the only one who recognizes
this to be an actual Thing that COnservatvies in fact fight for and that A-Channel fight-back against?
A better better is when all religions disappear
I think we all need to find a better place that makes us better.
Sadly, this is kinda the reality for women in Afganistan again :(
Texas rn…..
This is basically happening now and it’s fucking terrifying
exactly!!
?? What do you mean?
Women are privileged in this world what are you on about?
Seriously you are silly.
Im assuming you dont live in the west?
TODAY AMERICA IS CLOSER THAN EVER TO THE REALIZATION OF THE HANDMAID'S TALE! FIGHT THE POWER
lol
Republicans dream.
Who’s here after the Roe v. Wade decision?
im seeing alot of people make comparisons to this.. i had to look it up.. this is crazy but this is similar to what happened with the Nazis... there were women that they rounded up to be the mothers of the "master race"
lol
This is now a documentary
Yes Brian.
Never seen this show, but wanted to watch the trailer.
It's happening now for real in the USA.
Disgusting.
I cant believe this is the context and setting of the show. I always thought this was some victorian dontown abbey type bullshit but it actually sounds sikck
It wasn't meant to be a HOWTO.
Yeah it wasn't

Janine is really well-played in this series. You see it in the public, participatory execution. That's all I'll say, in case I'm spoiling the plot for anyone here. But you can see how and why she adapts.
You mean particicution ;)
Handmaids Tale: This Show is kinda One Big Trailer for
Atheist-TH-camrs.
this is why im atheist lol
Lmao you must be delusional if you think a theocracy can be the future, people are becoming less religious nowadays
@@he96765 Its not a matter of people becoming more religious that will give rise to a theocracy. Rather, its exactly the opposite. The religious going crazy and implementing religious law apparently to try to create an orderly and moral society is how it will come about. The more people become less religious, the more the religious will become extreme and eventually establish a theocracy. I am seeing it now with the religious feeling entitled to push their ideology on people and having no boundaries whatsoever. You can tell them you are not interested and that only adds fuel to the fire. lol

Christianity and Islam and Judaism.
This show showed women how resilient they are yet how vulnerable they are in the hands of psychopaths!
It’s a fake show. That’s like me saying Superman shows how tough men are 😂
This show is made to perpetuate fear and victim complex both in females, so more females buy feminist ideology
@trigcat3107 Wow you are so scarred kiddo of strong independent women
This is weird and hard to imagine a world like this. Wow... Hope we'll never get to an era like this.
Weird and hard to imagine not for everyone, a lot of people will be totally ok with that world that's why something like that is never impossible but yeah I hope we will never live in a world like this
Edgard Deruelle no one would be ok with that here. But you might be surprised to learn that this is exactly how women are treated in middle eastern countries. Look it up. But feminists don’t care about that.

@@DungeonAesthetics what’s funny
Who is here after roe v wade and the ivf ruling? Watching the handmaids tale slowly become a reality is nauseating.
This show is both captivating and terrifying, beautiful and horrendous, and not quite based in reality but enough to make us question.
Lol...
And Supreme court nomination brought me here lol..😂😂😂
Same💔
@@daniquitter8963 qqq
It’s literally terrifying and im a guy
Ditto
@@hanako7876 Have you bought into the propaganda that easily brainwashes the people? There's nothing terrifying about a conservative judge getting a position in the Supreme Court. We'd be way worse off with a biased liberal extension of RBG in there. RGB, an anti-constitutionalist, an incompetent judge who had to apologize for her partial decisions and a person that defends murder of infants/fetuses.
Welp...let's all buckle up.
Anyone here while the US Capitol building is being broken into?
OMG ME!...
Lmfao, I started this series directly after and when that scene happened I was like 😦
I'm pretty sure i get stalked and harassed every day and called LIAR bc ppl qre obsessed with times i was sexually assaulted. Very lucrative for others to use my resilience. I moved on and do resent hos poorly this was handled. Thats why i moved on from 1990's NM hell and now theres a cuild who us likely bejbg forced into this heretuc bullshit. It will ve very costly.
Some of you have never left your first world privileged lifestyle and actually went out into the outside world and it really shows
Kookie god tell me about it. it’s so disgusting. men always like to pretend women don’t go through this shit in the world, yet many men secretly wish this to be reality (just go on the internet and you’ll see)

As a victim of rape, I had to skip past the rape scenes because it brought back traumatic memories. I still look forward to season 4 because this show is really good.
Sorry to hear that :( I hope you're doing okay
Strange thing to share
@@queenemma6856 What makes you think it's strange?
@TheLeah2344 I’m so sorry you had to go through that, there’s not words to describe how awful that is.
@@queenemma6856 why? She can say what she wants, part of the stigma of rape is feeling you have to shut up about it. Your attitude is part of the problem, you should be sympathetic. Edited incase of grammar nazis.
I'm just scared that this might actually happen in the future
I have a weird feeling its already starting.... look around you only a select few control the world. Look at the last few months. Look into childtrafficking, whos running the big pharmas, event 201 ect I pray that the people wake up before its too late xx stay safe
It already happened in the past and in the present, just not all at once.
It's been happening already in Saudi Arabia
It could have happened with Trump and his cult leaders.
@@colibri4676 You must be joking... look at us under Biden! The amount of complete blinders on people these days never seizes to amaze me. A lot of you are basically slaves to the media which is terrifying. You never verify anything they say which is why you take everything they say as the honest truth when in reality they’ve been caught numerous times lying to the public. I’ll take Trump any day over Biden and I’ll also take conservatives over liberals because at least conservatives can have an adult conversation without cussing someone out for disagreeing with them.

ABORTION IS A HUMAN RIGHT
@Bluntman Chronic First of all a women is not obligated to give up her body for a fetus. And what you’re talking about is the procedure done after an incomplete miscarriage.
I've never seen the series and I'm actually hesistent to watch for fear that I'll be enraged. I can only imagine the parallel lines that can be drawn from the fictional content to portions of the reality we currently live in. Women’s rights are slowly being chipped away at and I'm worried that watching this is only going to make my stomach turn more than it already is 😮
Tell me more about your victim p*** upper middle class white lady
@@geraldjohnson7435 Idiot. Take a look at this. #Project2025
The reason it's so disturbing is because it's so realistic.
Indeed it is realistic. Most religions are infact about this type of utopia where women are a little less than animals.
@@the8thchurch461 so true
Trump's America.
Yeah sure man. Liberals make this country look weak but whatever. OrAnGE mAN bAd. At least Trump has some fuckin balls. Biden wants to bend over for China and take it up the ass instead of holding them accountable for Covid-19.
At nearly 80 years old, Biden needs to take his ass home, sit down in a comfortable chair with a blanket over his lap and eat a bowl of warm soup. That's where he should be. Not campaigning for President.
The idea behind this is terrifying
Societal horror is the most effective horror
" Better never means better for everyone."
Oof I'm afraid my country is going in a similar direction. 😥
Which country
Looks so much like the Islamic country I escaped. Sadly- the whole world is headed that way.
Aren't you glad you escaped, only to have the rest of them migrate in, years later?
I guess anything else would be "racist" of us.
You mean Saudi Arabia , don’t generalize because it’s the shittiest country
"We only wanted to make the world, better. Better never means for everyone." 2021.
straight facts
Say that to the terfs
this feels so real and close now, scary times for us women 🥺 i want to watch this but just not right now.
I know. I'm reading the comments and seems like this is more than just a show. It's happening and idk if I wanna watch it but I think this is the perfect time to watch it, might learn somethings from it. Good luck
but good times for the fetuses who get to live and grow up
Man, I am so stoked! why does it have to be on hulu????

WEF dream, slaves and masters , we are getting there slowly but surely
Being homosexual and Autistic Asperger I'm really open-minded and I've a huge imagination and I don't really see that show like weird, weird to me means inexplicable. the show once you saw it it's not difficult to understand. Also what is weird for someone doesn't mean is weird for everyone. Actually when I watch the show I realize how crazy is it this can be happening in real life and when you see how much women rights are ignored and minorities are treated horribly in Georgie and Alabama. I'm not even surprised someone has imagined this world and I wouldn't be even less surprised if it was happening in real life. The most of people let themselves be led by a religion or beliefs and if ever they had power trust me, this show wouldn't be a fiction but definitely a reality.
Sure it's crazy, and obviously I don't want something like that ever happen in real life. But even if it's completely insane I'm not ashamed to say I really love that show and the fiction is really well imagined
The funniest part is the rights you are referring to are strictly abortion rights which isn't objectively a right bud.
Other than tht you have no argument
Right now I am reading the book, very curious about the ending.
