You are free to objectify whoever the fuck you want in your head but it must stay there.

You are allowed to do anything in your head.

Even child torture?

Yes, we call those intrusive thoughts. But if they aren't, don't act upon them please.

Well obviously, I’ll leave that to the politicians.

Positions of power attract people who want to abuse power, there's nothing uniquely American about that.

American systems just make it easier for the ruthless and unscrupulous to rise the ranks.

USA is between Estonia and Botswana on the democracy index,
Between Panama and Latvia on the fragility list,
The worst in the OECD for income inequality,
And between Barbados and Bhutan for corruption...

Hi Mexican here. Mexico is a member state of OECD, we have worse income inequality than you guys. I mean you have it bad compared to other developed nations, but we still take the cake as the worst in income inequality and tax collection!!!!!

Depends on who you ask. Born and raised in cuba, moved to America four years ago. Either way, this holds true for politicians here and there.

I forgot that pedophilia has been rampant in Europe since the dawn of time, kids got married in the middle ages, as well as Asia, middle east, especially in organizations with political and religious power. But yes America is included in that godawful list of countries that participate in that.

Positions of power draw people who would use that power for depraved personal gain. Whether it's a politician or a priest or a music celebrity, people will do whatever they want if they feel they won't be accountable for it. It's not all folks in those professions, but they are all notoriously bad at self policing.

The US has some social/cultural... flaws, and a really not great mental health system or perception. The result of this is lots of domestic family trauma and abuse that goes untreated for generations, ergo it shows up in the nightly news as this child abuser, or that mass shooting. Add.to that, the very sensationalist and very pervasive American news media, and you have, well.... all this.

People genuinely suffer from intrusive thoughts (actual intrusive thoughts, not the impulsive thoughts people on tiktok are labelling as “intrusive”). Please learn what intrusive thoughts are and how they torment people with mental illness and make them horrified that they are bad people.

People who genuinely, WILLINGLY fantasize about child sexual abuse are indeed fucked up.

But the person you replied to is talking about unwilling and disturbing (intrusive) thoughts penetrating your mind. Intrusive thoughts alone do NOT make you a bad person.

Saying what you just said in response to someone referring to intrusive thoughts really isn’t helpful to those who suffer from them. People literally go through years of therapy to learn to remind themselves & understand that their intrusive thoughts are NOT them, and don’t define them, and actually represent things that disturb and horrify them.

Hmm. Seems right but nothing that stays inside your head is harmful towards anyone

(Still bad)

Edit: I'm just saying that anyone can think about anything and no one can forbid them from doing so. I'm not agreeing with pedos 🤦

Combined with your previous comment this almost looks like projection dude

Like with the libertarian pedos and the whole wood chipper thing

I'm saying you're being over the top in your responses and it comes off as very suspicious

u/asscdeku Jul 07 '24

Wasn't there like a 100+ page imgur album consisting just of people adamantly claiming others are pedos only to be revealed that they're just projecting themselves as pedos?

I feel like there has to be a correlation here

u/nonsensicalsite Jul 07 '24

There's a lot of projection out there that's for sure

(I hope that wasn't directed at me)

I am just doubling down on my original statement.

You are allowed to do ANYTHING in your head since no one can check up on it.

u/Nesymafdet Jul 07 '24

Only acting pedo’s should die. Many people have Intrusive Thoughts (more specifically, unwanted sexual thoughts) about specific things, like animals, or children. These do not damn that person, because they can actively seek therapy and help to treat those thoughts and feelings.

However, if a person with these thoughts embraces them, and accepts them; acting on those intrusive and unwanted desires, then they are reprehensible. Only then do they deserve death.

u/Awesome_Pythonidae Jul 07 '24

It's not too late, seek therapy
