Capitalism, Radical Feminism and Conservatism are the modern American plague.

Capitalism is the great religion of today, complete with its myths, superstitions, and its attempt to subvert democracy. Crimes committed under Capitalism are legion and rival the worst excesses of Communism - for instance Slavery and mass genocide have been one-off tools of Capitalism. Examples include the slaughter of native Americans for the natural resources they sat on, slavery in America; and modern slavery abroad produces much of the goods we buy on Capitalist markets today. The Military-Industrial Complex, which President Eisenhower himself warned us against in his final Presidential address, incites and exacerbates conflicts for the sheer sake of profits. There is also the mass pillage of Earth's natural resources, and although there are plenty of viable alternatives to this, Capitalism will not allow for it because it's "unprofitable". Capitalism treats workers as throw-away, expendable assets, and through automation and outsourcing, Capitalism seeks to eliminate workers and workers' wages - the very thing upon which they also depend for their profits: exactly the kind of relationship that a parasite has with its host. Capitalism is as unsustainable as Communism but the system manages to hide this through layers of smoke and mirrors.

Radical feminism dominates modern feminism and while its level of bigotry is less deadly than that of the Klan, it is a more successful and acceptable bigotry - although its popularity is in a precipitous decline. Radical feminism is the politics of sheer hate and misandry, and would not hesitate to treat men like the Klan treats blacks, if only radical feminists had more power. Radical feminists also have a paranoid attitude about what they define as misogyny that would make McCarthy huddle in a corner and cry "mommy!" Hilariously, they make fun of men's hurt feelings one moment and then cry about the word "bossy" the next. Ironically, radical feminists, those who aren't trying to convince women to become lesbians (I shit you not, this is a real thing), say they don't need men... but then who do they turn to when a natural disaster strikes?

Conservatism is the metaphorical high priest of the religion of Capitalism and its parasitic relationship with nature and the working class. They fight to resurrect outdated Patriarchal values and the real misogyny that comes with it, racism is rampant among Conservative ranks, and like radical feminists they are active perpetrators of the culture of male expendability. Conservatives sometimes work with feminists in such things as the war on porn. They're not as loud or as frequently obnoxious as feminists - but when they do speak up or take political action, they destroy individual liberty in ways and to magnitudes that the radical feminists only DREAM of. Republicans attitudes on rape prove that while America is not a culture of rape, Republicans themselves are in fact a culture of rape and each political victory their party scores drags America ever closer to rape culture. Two things worth mocking on a regular basis is Conservative voters' willingness to fight for the corporate elite who see them as expendable cogs, and their pledge to the concept of "individual liberties" - which stands in stark contrast against their incessant homophobia which is but a small part of their massive campaign to enforce traditional gender roles on men and women.

All three of these ideologies are a dreadful blight upon humanity and society cannot hope to move forward with these weights on our backs.
