Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Telegraph reported this? That is a surprise. Are they blaming the victims in the article?

It hasn't escaped my notice that there are alot of pedophiles in the GOP. More than you would expect by chance. I wasn't the only one to notice: We need to talk about pedocon theory

Right wing politics in general tends to go hand in hand with misogyny, sexism, and generally treating people as things. Whenever you talk to them they always say it's a few bad apples, but it seems to be like a third of the barrel.

Of course it's even worse with the GOP because they are now actively misogynistic rather than just trying to hide it beneath the surface which is what the right of done in the past. To various levels of success.

Pedophiles and abusers. Conservatives have been investing a lot of money so that pedophiles and abusers are the role models of young men as part of their manufactured culture war. When Javier Milei took power in argentina he already had a network of influencers behind him spewing the values of his presidency: anti LGBT sentiment, scorn for women and feminism, racist rethoric and the openly abusive machinations of free market capitalism. The ideology came first. The looting of argentina followed.

This has been going on for a while in the US and it has the potential to get way worse. Because this is the official discourse now and children and young men are taking the examples of these adults and reproducing them in equally disfunctional lives.

Why are we surprised that things are going to shit? People say we are living in the ideocracy, but i think the state of things is way worse. They want to create a society of savages and march us down to self destruct along with their failing system.
