There's #3!
I noted two prominent new citizens of Hades a couple weeks ago:
Comrade Helen Gurley Brown joins Comrade Gore Vidal at the doorway. Gonna be hot times in the old hot town tonight!
In the traditional 3-strike pattern for new Hadean recruits, we now eagerly await #3.

Now
from UK Guardian, a delayed obit for a death on Aug. 26:
Shulamith Firestone was one of the early US radical women's liberationists who provided the theoretical foundation for a second wave of feminism. Along with Kate Millett's Sexual Politics, Betty Friedan's The Second Sex and Jill Johnston's Lesbian Nation, Firestone's The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution (1970) contributed to a theory of women's oppression and male supremacy that is as relevant today as it was at the time of publication. She has been found dead in her apartment in Manhattan, New York, at the age of 67. ...
Firestone's legacy is her challenge to the left in her refusal to accept that women's liberation should be shelved until after the revolution. "We shall need a sexual revolution much larger than – inclusive of – a socialist one to truly eradicate all class systems."
There's the third new Hadean!
Think about the last sentence in the obit. Sexual revolution will eradicate class systems.
What actually happened? We got a sexual revolution for damn sure. And it
vastly increased the gulf between rich and poor.
Marx was replaced by Gramsci.
Satanism-feminism intentionally wrecked the division of labor that civilization had taken 5000 years to establish and maintain. Traditional gender roles leveraged the social mammal's natural drive for status to set up stable family arrangements, which enabled ORDINARY PEOPLE to prosper. Under the traditional Western system, being a Good Provider was a mark of status. This meant that males who lacked ripply muscles and impressive bravado could gain enough status to hold a good wife, by working hard and earning a steady living.
Satanism-feminism smashed the Good Provider arrangement, and females then reverted to their primitive simian status goals. Work no longer matters. Only the innate natural qualities of a male matter. Only the most muscular, attractive, brutal or RICH males are now able to hold a good wife.
When Betty Fried[m]an and Shulamith Firestone were breaking civilization, other New York Jews saw a profit opportunity. (Chaos is always a profit opportunity for a hedger.)
Since the law now required females to compete (badly) in the same economic realms as males, those economic realms had to dilute their standards and thus their value. Since males now realized there was no point in doing high-quality work, males didn't especially care about the loss of value in the job market. Families now had two degraded incomes and nihilistic expectations. This meant that each worker's income could be slashed beyond a simple halving, which in turn meant more profit for the executives and the shareholders, and more status and more wives for the super-rich.
The hellish Fried[m]an twins. Betty and Milton. Betty broke the males and forced the females into wage slavery; Milton showed capitalists how to enslave both sexes for maximum economic efficiency.
Okay, Milt. Relay time. Stick's in your hand. Go.
