The Handmaids Tale is basically what it would look like if there were such a thing as a Christian Taliban, or what happened to Iranian society after the revolution. Commies are tiring and stupid.
That's because we see the world as it is and want to change it, and they see the world as they believe it to be and want to change it. They have to make a mess of things.
She is fighting against the mob and the mob can never be appeased. It's a tale as old as time and something that has been studied since the dawn of man. Look up the French Revolution and how the executioners eventually became executed and then those who executed the executed, where eventually executed. It's an endless cycle
I read BNW, I read Animal Farm, and I know about 1984. Guess the news won't relate the Animal Farm' sheep to NPCs, the news casters themselves, or the staged riot chants...
Until this thread, I thought Handmaiden's Tale was some weird Bronte-esque romance lit that could somehow be related to imagined misogyny... or something? What is this book?
I actually watched the series and found it was good entertainment. I like dystopian stories like that though. The closest way to explain it would be to imagine if the Taliban were Christian and not Muslim, and took over the US. It’s so extreme that no true Christian would ever participate, and the real story is about power and hypocrisy, not religion. But of course, the Left can’t do anything without being completely insane, so they work themselves up into frenzied hysteria with fictional props.
I liked the dystopian part too, not the religious stuff. If only a handful of women could reproduce, how much freedom of choice would they still be allowed to have, for the sake of the human race?
I own BNW and have read all 3 but years ago I feel like I'm over due another reading of Orwell's books and got to throw in lord of the flies in there since it's another good one. Fahrenheit 451 is another one deserving of a mention. I simply love dystopian novels
There was a book in the mid eighties written by a woman named Margaret Atwood called The Handmaid's Tale. It was a dystopian near-future novel where there was a nasty civil war in the United States and the regime that rose to power were a bunch of ultra-fascistic Christian fundamentalists. Part of the setting includes vast widespread environmental damage that cataclysmically reduces fertility rates, and so Handmaids are fertile but fallen women (the main character is an adultress) who are passed around high ranking men in attempts to produce babbies. They're called Handmaids because of the Abraham and Sarah thing where Sarah can't have kids because she's barren and so she tells Abraham to "go unto her handmaid" to beget his children. There's a second book but IIRC it wasn't written until much later - it's also pretty good, if a bit implausible.
The book has recently been adapted to a Hulu series - adapted loosely, as they basically hijacked the setting's concept - and so the left is in love with it because it paints Christians as crazy racists, rapists, and slave-sellers who terribly abuse Powerful Liberal Archetypes. The book is pretty good, to be honest, and the Hulu series is actually pretty decent to watch. However, the left likes to hold it up as a likely reality if conservatives are somehow put in charge when the reality is the left is far more likely to institute a fascist regime in the name of environmental damage/climate change. Being acutely aware of the propaganda layer admittedly adds a sense of gallows humor to watching the series.
Handmaids tale is based on islam. Look at islamic society and then handmaids tale side by side. Look at Christianity and handmaids tale side by side. Libs wish Christians were evil but you can wish in one hand and shit in the other.
Wonder why they aren't using the very real and current example of Islam ?
It's right there for the picking ... weird.

Most movie plots are just lefty circle jerk fantasies of what conservativism is as opposed to what it actually is in reality
They could use Harry Potter and compare her to Delores Umbridge. It makes no sense, but then so does the Handmaid's Tale reference.
They can't use Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling is one of the cancelled.
She’s fighting back like hell though.
It’s surreal to watch how the different factions of leftists can’t coexist.

Lmao can’t use Harry Potter because the biggest antagonist in the 5th book and second biggest in the 7th book was the fucking media.
I got banned for "spamming" in r/politics for typing "cringe" under every instance of handmaiden crap I saw.
That’s a badge of honor round these parts
Great point, let's start asking them why they're not.
Probably because books that happen to be by White men burn their skin
For the life of me (and my family) I cannot name a practicing religion that subjugates women.
I watched the handmaids tale. I see it as rich old money liberals like poliski, pretending their new world order is backed by her faith in god.
They did the same thing before we even knew who the nominee was back during kavanaugh
They were literally airing the handmaids tale on every major outlet every night for weeks on end
Lmao I bet they’re gonna do it again! But this time flash subliminal frames or something of “roe v wade” twice a minute.
I watched the first season of the show (yes, pity me). The only religion that remotely resembles the subjigating slavery cult of the story is Islam.
Notice they do the same shit Harry Potter continually.
Offred wanted to KEEP her daughter. The whole shitty book was "I want my baby back, baby back, baby back." Someone tell the commie libtards.
The Handmaid's Tale and ACB's group both use the word "handmaid".
So they MUST be the same thing.
Liberal logic.
Brilliant observation
And Islam for obvious reasons. They could be dressing in burkas to protest, instead of fictional costume.
The can't use 1984 without revealing their endgame
I'm just happy they finally found out there's another book besides Harry Potter.
Now getting them to READ the book.... (hell i bet most of them who quote it haven't even read harry potter lol) thats a whole other bag of.... Stuff.
I read BNW, I read Animal Farm, and I know about 1984. Guess the news won't relate the Animal Farm' sheep to NPCs, the news casters themselves, or the staged riot chants...

The Left basically lives in HMT, Harry Potter, and the Marvel Universe.
Is this a book?
Why have I never heard of it?
