To understand Nigers asexuality criminalisation, we should see this law as part of a bigger – and growing – global trend among conservatives about ‘traditional families’

    This is just… rediculous, right? Like, how the fuck do you prove someone’ll never wanna fuck? It’s unreasonable and cruel. I suppose cruelty is, once again, the point.

      It’s deeply suspicious that I’ve seen like a wave of independent posters talking about this stuff from unrelated corners of the internet. This feels like manufacturing consent for another US military operation in the Sahel.

          Manufacturing consent is propaganda designed to make you think the people living somewhere want a military intervention (that they consent to it), to free them from tyrrany or something of that sort. It was coined by Noam Chomsky (who wasn’t my favorite person, but the term is still good).

          Same thing they did with the whole Iran hijab thing for like months, followed by going to war with them. Like yeah, women’s rights there might not be the best, but whatever they are, it doesn’t justify putting in a US backed dictator to somehow make that right. Same with Niger.
