Preface: I am not attracted to kids!!!

I'm gonna get roasted alive for this but here we go.

I honestly think that, like a lot of other issues with humanity as a whole, this boils down to the fact that a lot more people are attracted to kids than they'll ever admit.

I see it the same way with rapists and abusers. No one's gonna openly talk about being like that so they don't get caught but the fact that it's so common tells me it's not out of character to be done. Especially looking at history and how commonplace it was for grown adults to marry underage kids or sell them into sexual slavery.

I’m really starting to think pedophilia isn’t a sexual orientation at all but rather a symptom of some sort of histrionic/narcissistic social/personality disorder.

Obligatory Frankie Boyle routine.

It's about asserting power over the weaker by those who could.

I'm a little confused here.

We know for a fact they're predominantly evil sociopaths, war criminals, child predators, liars, thieves, rapists, and murderers, among other, equally horrifying crimes.

But we're still not shooting them on sight. How come?

It makes me think of the rich assholes in Altered Carbon. They’ve lived so long in the most athletic and pristine “sleeves” that they’re essentially bored of life and their whims just get more and more unhinged, because they have zero moral checks and balances. It’s affluenza. Parasites in society that drag us all down with them.

...What am i looking at?

This also has cause and effect backwards in many cases. People who do awful things are ripe for blackmailing and controlling, so they get inserted/promoted to important positions to act favourably for those running the blackmailing. (eg the Epstein files)

While I fully agree, the meme kind of misses the point.

Money is power and power is the ability to do what you want. Once you get so much that you can do anything that society allows, if it’s gone to your head and corrupted you, you see the social taboos of society as a restriction on your freedom.

That’s why they always talk about freedom and that we should be removing social and government barriers, they reached the limit and honestly don’t know where to go from there.

They have spent their entire lives gaining privileges through more money and can’t conceive of any other way to live.

you could have everything. travel the world. feed the poor. learn the job you want. be an artist. study. live in your dream home. build your own workshop. do sports. bungee jumping. gaming. cinema. eat everyday in another fancy restaurant.

the fuck is wrong with them?

I wonder if its seeking the thrill of something considered taboo? If you can afford everything and everyone you probably start seeking out more more and more extreme forms of "entertainment".

In conclusion no human should be given (close to) absolute power. We just arent made for it.

not to forget alot of scientists and artist for whom being in a VIP boys club and feeling special is apparently more important than being a decent human.

Most are predatory with sociopathic traits, and child predation is the ultimate expression of that.
