Isn't it ironic that the "let's protect the children" crowd allows the children of their base to be the most abused, molested and sexually assaulted?
More than any other group and without creating any repercussions to the institution that harbours the highest percentage of verified pedophiles.
Last time I checked the numbers, 6% of Priests have engaged sexually with a minor. That's numbers that even shitty Hollywood can't even compete with.
Because their rules are about oppressing others.
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
Oh, I know and I agree.
But it's still ridiculous and awful to see these children, their children nonetheless become victims of abuse while they pretend it's not happening.
Because if there's any single one thing I am supposed to share with these mindless people is an aversion to the abuse of children. And if that were me and my community I would burn that institution to the ground until I found every trace of this.
If they kept their end of the watch as they claim others should I would at least respect their zeal as true. This way I got nothing for them. Absolutely nothing.
But I still don't want that to happen to those kids. This shouldn't happen. Period. Pointing out their hypocrisy and calling for their outrage to start by "cleaning their own house" works. I've seen it first hand. They don't like it when they know you're right even according to their narrow view of the world. If we just uphold them to the standard they believe they have, they don't have an out.
And less kids end up like this as a result.
I hate to break the news to you but for them, abuse of children is the oppression. For them, as long as you are rich enough and white enough, you can oppress (read: sexually abuse) children. Trump is lucky he's white enough.
Do not compare your hatred for child abusers with theirs.
"Someday I will be part of the in-group, after I win the lottery and get that raise, that's why we need to protect the elite, so my fortune will be safe!" - Literally every redneck and right-wing dumbass I've ever met, and I've met a LOT.
Many conservatives think they are part of the in group.
They already think they deserve to be special because other people aren't.
The entire screeching narrative they started pushing that drag-queens and trans people were pedophiles literally originated in an attempt to counter the huge wave of pedophilia and abuse that was coming from right-wing circles and churches a number of years ago as media and news started becoming much larger and reporting more crimes.
It was also just a rehash of some vintage anti-gay propaganda
They don't want to protect children broadly, they want their kids protected from being abused by other people. You don't want someone mishandling your property after all.
