A lot of the nostalgia is a nostalgia for community, for love, for meaning, and for some level of economic security. Most of the energy transition narratives overlook this. Think of transition only in terms of jobs substitution and other energy sources,

CND: Paradox of patriarchy:
"If men have all the poewr, why do I feel powerless?"
= patriarchy does NOT benefit all men, but promises working class men symbolic proximity to power, while provoking anxiety and a sense of insufficiency

Also there was a fear that the children would be influenced too much by native nannies and maids and their culture... So women were needed as the "border guards of German civilization", ensuring the continuity of _racial_ reproduction

There are at least four angles worthy of exploration:
- The nature and severity of the attack.
- The effects on arts and humanities research.
- The aged and patchwork nature of the BL's IT estate which has made it hard to recover from.

When their position becomes absolutely untenable Comfortables will announce "I have always opposed burning down orphanages in certain circumstances."

The pandemic was a mass-disabling event and one of the reasons it has largely vanished from day to day political discourse is that those in power don't want to acknowledge the long term care needs it produced.
