: Dissecting Orson Scott Card, Part 4
Parts 1, 2, and 3 dissecting this lying piece of bigotry were posted earlier. In summary: in Part 1, OSC made various claims for monogamous nuclear-family marriage, not many of which were actually true. In Part 2, OSC argues that civilisation stands by agonic rule over hedonic natural impulses - which is also untrue. In Part 3, OSC claims that giving same-sex couples the same access to civil rights as mixed-sex couples will somehow irretrievably damage those civil rights.
( OSC calls this section 'The Propaganda Mill', with disturbing accuracy: it looks like that's where he got most of his assertions, half-truths, and downright lies. )
( OSC claims to be pro-family )
( OSC makes false claims about the US legal system )
This should be the end of the story, but in fact there's a follow-up, which I hope to go into. But tomorrow I'm taking the night off. I might even bake scones.
Edit: click here for part five.
