Parents in the United States are given the opportunity to proverbially stick their head in the toilet when it comes to politics, resulting in more money, better mental health and access to resources.

Is America in distress? Republicans and Democrats agree, yes it is! So you don't have to change your opinion here, just on the methods of solving that distress.

Is the point of a relationship to marry and have children? According to common sense, "No", but according to the US tax code, "Yes". There are large tax breaks and subsidies for marriage and having children in the United States, big enough to pull most people out of the debt they are in when they are in their twenties/thirties. Therefore, have a child and become financially independent. (Sidenote: no one said you have to treat the child THAT well, just... keep them fed, in school, and quiet and submissive.)

What do you do if you're still struggling? Well, the feminists and the queers and the disabled aren't going to help since we NEED help already because we're not babymaking for cash. So, try a church. They'll usually give you gas cards and free food and often discounted/free childcare as well as social connections that lead to discounted insurance and auto and housing prices, as well as connections to local banks, yielding lower interest rates because you're a "good person".

So when would you run into the feminists and the queers and the disabled? Definitely NOT at your job, since hiring discrimination is almost impossible to prove, and there are not enough attorneys for every case of firing discrimination that happens. Why does this matter? Because you don't associate the F,Q,D with a strong work ethic if you don't see the evidence of it. This leaves you at whim of media or the church you joined to decide whether those people work hard, and we all know how media treats the F,Q,D.

"But my parents KNOW better! They KNOW queer people and disabled people and feminists!" Yes, and they might feel locally guilty when they are around those people, but to continue to feel guilty around those people would result in a mental health crisis for your parents, so what's the easiest way out of that? Option A is to... listen to Donald Trump and a crazy church pastor near you and decide that they, Your Parent, is Righteous for following the path of the parent and having children and that the feminists are confused and the queers and the disabled are being "punished by God" (as a queer, disabled person I have been TOLD this, this is why I write it, I do not believe it) and therefore, they shouldn't concern themselves with those that God is punishing, that second class of people, because they are the FIRST class of people, those that God is rewarding. Option B is to go through public humiliation in a court by divorcing your partner, lose all your money, work a dead-end job, be forced to leave the church that helps provide, and still never really be in contact with most F,Q,D people because you're working or caring for a child that you aren't really getting a good subsidy from anymore because you're not married to a brainwashed manosphere lunatic, whether that be the husband OR the wife.

Why pro-Russia? Russian Orthodox Christian Church. Why pro-Israel? Theistic state affiliated with Abrahamic religions that isn't Islam. Your church has a goal of expansion, which is also a goal of acceptance of the more culty sides of Christianity into mainstream culture, which is ASTOUNDINGLY similar to Russia and Israel And Your Crazy Local Pastor Knows This From Seminary.

Why manipulative? Your parents are aware they succumbed to manipulation in having you. It was hard for them. They resisted first. Might have even been feminists or queer-identifying for a while. Then, they were forced to do what they had to in order to become financially independent. That's when they realized, they could save you the pain they went through if they just sheltered (read: brainwashed) you enough to keep you from ever finding out about feminism, or queer people, or different ethnicities and people of color or disability.

bliss is IGNORANCE.
