The Singaporean state, the Christian far–right, and their overlaps, are trying to turn Harvey into a scapegoat for their own respective narratives: firstly, for speaking her own truth to power; secondly, for daring to push the police and legal system to their limits under an authoritarian system that expects immediate submission and surrender; thirdly, for being persistent in her desire for justice as a rape victim who was raped at a psychiatric facility that is also state–run; and fourthly, for being a trans woman who refuses to keel over and die – who actually wants to not only survive and scrape by, but live.
This is not a case of just US imperialist interests, but US Christian far–right imperialist interests, which pursue expansionist goals to broaden the [capitalist] American Christian “nation”, historically positioned as a moral counterforce to the evils of communism, in the style of American exceptionalism.
