Episode 8: Family Values, For Sure
In honor of Leo season, Rachel and Rebecca take something personally! For years, the right has touted themselves as the “family values party” despite doing almost nothing to actually support parents or children and, yah, we’re mad as hell about it. Let’s break down what these “values” are actually all about and who really benefits from the policies they promote (hint: it’s not your family).
Originally recorded 8/11/21.
This isn’t a podcast about JD Vance, but here is an article about the stupid things he said. If you want to hear from people who actually understand Appalachia, check out the “Views from Appalachia” reading list at Downbound Books (scroll down a bit on the homepage to find it).
Yes, it’s a fact that birth rates are dropping, both in the US and globally. You can also read about how white deaths outnumber white births in more than half of US states here.
Much of the material for the overview of the eugenics movement was sourced from an Instagram post on the subject by Alok Menon, which you can check out here. Alok is an incredible author and performance artist. We recommend you follow them!
For more on how US racism inspired Hitler, check out this New Yorker article.
The BMI episode of Maintenance Phase we mentioned is entitled “The Body Mass Index” and is a great listen if you want to learn more about that as well. Check out their website here and listen wherever you stream.
The TikTok about religious institutions’ investment in keeping people vulnerable was by @beevesoftime and can be viewed here.
If you want your life and the life of others to serve as a personal affront to the right, donate to your local abortion fund. Women Have Options Ohio is a pretty great one, we think!
