Other than the ⛓️💥, Andrewism needed/s to go much further than this introduction. He needs to address how the current state exploits families, children, and coercions. Restraining orders, calls to Child Protective Services, and straight up arrests break alloparenting solidarities.
“Family” today is pure state propaganda, because allocare today goes by a different label: “fosterage.” And the case of LGBTQIA+, “found family.”
