re: Author Sophie Lewis' forthcoming book is titled 'Abolish the Family'

If you ever want the literal caricature/ideal of useful idiots promoting crypto-Marxism, look no further than this subject.

There are 2 main components to this argument:

1. A desire to have state encroach over children in order to promote brainwashing supporting authoritarianism.

2. Differing outcomes based on family status.

The goal is 1 and they use 2 as their justification.

They have to use the most warped "reasoning" to attack 2, and that's the giveaway as to their actual intentions. If you have 2 population groupings and the distinction is based in a traditional/historic status, a rational actor would say, "how do we promote this status with the non-adopting population?" A dishonest actor sees this status as a path away from collectivism, so they warp this status into a "privilege", which we must fight against to stop the inequity.

This concept is created by intelligentsia and then spread by these dullards. They desire the response as a troll because they only care about themselves (ironically) and negative attention not only spreads their importance and perceived intelligence, but it also reinforces how toxic "normal" people and values are (by their response to the trolling). I'm sure this same useful idiot would be the first to tell you all of her degrees as an argument from authority to shut down any actual discussion about her "thesis".
