How is calling someone a groomer related to fascism? Or is it just more of a correlation thing?

Aldous Huxley described your vision of Utopia in brave new world. I think it's ridiculous, unobtainable, and overall a terrible approach to society. Life is all about lasting and meaningful relationships, so any approach that views these as optional or outdated is broken before it even starts. Your entire premise is flawed from the start.

That's crazy, and now in order to remain competitive and get workers, other businesses will also need to raise their pay. Capitalism.

Too many people in the world crave an identity that is original enough to be interesting, but not so original that it can't be quantified or defined by accepted or understood identity templates. They need to be able to put a name to their identity so they can talk about it.

Maybe, but the only reason this is notable is because of an uptick that is from the literal opposite of Christian right wing.

Mass shootings weren't even defined before. We didn't talk about them because they weren't tracked. Even now the definition of mass shooting isn't settled, with some definitions having about a dozen per year, and others having about 2 per day.

I'm not the guy who tried to claim an insane murderer is somehow representative of an entire political party.

Do you actually believe this? I know a lot of conservatives, some more extreme than others, but none of them envision this kind of world, not even the ones that wanted to be at the Capitol on Jan 6. It's contrary to virtually all Christian, conservative values. The whole premise of this story wouldn't even hold up unless there were an extreme event causing a massive shortage of fertile women. In that case, there is no telling what kind of dystopia would emerge. Frank Herbert wrote "The White plague" in 1982 (a couple years before the handmaid's tale), where women were nearly wiped out altogether, and it plays out similar in some respects, wildly different in others. In any event, it's not a "goal" of any sane person, and certainly not the goal of half of the country.
