arranged marriage is the only institution which falls outside of the liberal overton window

[plastic chewer]

those working within liberal systems can nominally propagate numerous ideas which are in direct contradiction with its idealism:
anti-immigration stances, racist rhetoric, grand conspiracies and to some extent certain 'mysoginistic' notions

the only major social institution that cannot be, and is never, discussed, is that of arranged marriage
a social technology which was completely universal and one which guaranteed positive demographic outcome regardless of material conditions

even the most fringe right-wing actors have completely internalized individual female reproductive choice
the base technology which insured the existence of human society doesn't even cross their minds

the sole emergent prerogative of liberal idealism is that of total and abrupt civilizational collapse - all else is secondary
