But eight years on, we havent even begun to understand that lesson. We didnt listen to Hillary. We havent yet realised that misogyny is one of the most dangerous weapons on Earth. The best friend of authoritarians and oligarchs. The handmaiden of tyrants.
Worst of all, we havent yet realised that misogyny represents the most urgent and pressing threat to global security.
Because its misogyny networked misogyny across multiple global platforms that will earn their tech bro owners billions upon billions of dollars that is going to decide the 2024 election.
And its misogyny thats going to dictate the future of Nato, the outcome of the war in Ukraine, whether we have peace in Europe or more war. And because this is going to be a firehose that will be directed at a single woman Kamala Harris it will be misogyny multiplied: misogyny plus racism, the most toxic combination of all.
