      @ellette-giselle BIRTHING LOTTERY?!!

       

       

      That alone just—just—…….oh my gosh I hope the US never, ever, ever gets to that point, because HECK NAW IF THAT HAPPENS I AM REGISTERING MYSELF AS DEAD THIRTY YEARS AGO AND MOVING UNDERGROUND.

       

      I’m sorry, evil government, but no one, NO ONE, is EVER allowed to treat me like that, and if I could I would march right up to those—those—those—aaaaaaagh

          There’s an old quote that I love that was said by a man once. He said, “Give me a wife to fight for and children to protect, and I’ll conquer the world with my bare hands.”

           

          This is also an America after the devastation of WWIII plus a Civil War to boot, which completely wiped out half the country and just about destroyed the half that was left. So people weren’t in the same place they are now. It was a lot of clingy “save us please!” and the change was enacted over many, many years. People were sort of slowly brought into it in tiny, tiny ways. The bad guys were patient. XD

            @ellette-giselle

            Wait, is this still the American government enacting everything or is this another country controlling it? Because you just said family is what the men believe is worth fighting for, and if this is still America and they’re ravaged this badly, wouldn’t they want people to have a fighting motive? Taking family away just makes everything worse.

            I’m struggling to see the benefits if America is trying to rebuild itself.

            But if another country is secretly controlling America and trying to repress the people, this would make a lot of sense.

              actually, there is a bill that got passed by america allowing homosexual couples to have children and in the bill they said that the reason they are allowed to have children is because children belong to the government, not to families. Now, nothing has built off of that bill, but it’s a perfect springboard.

                @ellette-giselle but they….can’t have children? Biologically?

                like yeah adoption is a thing but that’s different (not that I agree with homosexual couples or the idea that they could raise children, because I DON’T, I’m just saying I know of incidents where that’s happened)

                  just, like, never mind that it doesn’t make BIBLICAL sense, nothing about that law even makes SCIENTIFIC sense.

                    I’m not sure what this has to do with my questions. *Mind-scattered confusion* Am I just not understanding the link between this and what I asked?

                      Oh sorry. You said you couldn’t see america banning family, and I’m saying they just declared that children belong to the government, not families. They are already laying the blueprints for doing it. Just not as dramatic as my book.

                          @ellette-giselle

                          I get that. I was actually saying I don’t see how that’s a viable strategy for a country right after a world war and civil war.

                          This is the thing I said that I’m most concerned about:

                          Because you just said family is what the men believe is worth fighting for, and if this is still America and they’re ravaged this badly, wouldn’t they want people to have a fighting motive? Taking family away just makes everything worse.

                          This seems like a strategy to make a country less powerful. You said family is motivating and if family is taken away, men don’t have anything to fight for. I can only see this making sense if someone was trying to make this country passive and unable to fend for itself.

                            It’s sort of mirroring a Soviet era takeover.

                              Meaning? Is America taken over by another country and that country is the one making the laws?

                                I just realized you might still be deciding all this. I’m sorry if this is not something you’re confident on. Questioning dystopian premises is what I do every time I read a book with this stuff.
