Laying the ground for republicans banning eyeglasses entirely - because eyeglasses show intent to learn, which is dangerous...
Nah republicans love anything that allows the exploitation of women or other marginalized groups
Yes AND they are hypocrites as demonstrated time and time again (e.g. conservatives working to ban porn production/access while being unapologetic fans of said exploitation of women and marginalized groups).
Not as simple as you'd like. It's a mindfuck on purpose for the confusion and because they are stupid and reckless.
So put that "nah" away, friend.
Oh cool! The Khmer rouge did that.
so fun* fact, there never was an official order relating to glasses, and indeed Pol Pot himself as well as several other senior Khmer Rouge minister publicly wore glasses. But what they did do was set up a system were city folk and intellectuals were treated with a level of suspicion high enough that any low-level Khmer Rouge member could cite the ownership of glasses as sufficient evidence to execute someone for being a counter-revolutionary.
