At around the 22-25 minute marks, Yarvin, JD Vance’s court philosopher, proposes a system where black people would be made wards of religious ministers, who could force them to work as indentured servants and require them to submit to 24/7 “air-tag” monitoring.

Here's the disgusting Yarvin quote for those of you who don't want to suffer through this video:

you wake up, you know, one morning, you're a gang banger in Baltimore or whatever, and your life is about to change because your life is you are not an aristocrat. You are not a, you know, like uh no, you have to be part of a society. And being part of a society means that you are going to get your welfare check or however you support yourself from your minister. and you are part of that community and you don't pay taxes. You don't basically your relationship with the state is intermediated through your church and basically your minister can drug test you. He can assign you work. He can tell you you he can put an air tag on you. He can tell you where to go, where not to go. And let me tell you, for every gang banger in Baltimore, if you were to ask the these are not people who go to church. But the thing is if you actually look at their social connections, you know, they are part of a society and if they were to be assigned to a reverend, you would know which reverend that was.

Garcin said he recently learned of the practice of wearing a black cloak and tying a young woman to the railroad tracks. “It speaks to classic values,” he said. “When one twirls their mustache and cackles over her screams, they are celebrating traditional values.”

I'm not a fan of the society envisioned in Starship Troopers, but this comparison isn't fair to Heinlein.

Yes, though most of the premature Dissenters are post-Elizabeth anyway. Elizabethan Dissent (not Presbyterian) was mostly still internal Anglican. And it varied by degree and sect, but once the can of “I interpret it my way” was open, theology went Wild Wild West REALLY fast.
