Most MAGA men are cowards. Buy a dozen guns, make threats, but when push comes to shove…they stay in their chair and flip on right wing media. They are nothing.
They are all weak men putting on a show of what they think a strong man is.
Look at all the men driving big, loud trucks who don’t need a vehicle like that. It’s all projection
Most MAGA men are cowards.
Like almost all men, and women, including myself. The elite couldn’t do what they do if people would stand up for their rights and for a just society.
Because to them it’s only an issue if it affects them personally. If it’s someone else’s kids, they don’t care.
Most conservative double-think like this boils down to a lack of empathy.
I’d also argue that it isn’t really about the daughters for some of these men. They rather fantasize about being in a situation where it is socially acceptable to use violence, because they want to use violence. They want to be the hero, which requires a crisis.
They might still not be in favor of pedophiles running around freely, all things considered, but they’re certainly not going to be as strongly opposed to it as their violent fantasies might make you believe.
I have the feeling americans have low empathy, at least it shows in shows, films, tv, reporters, successful musicians (except DP), politiciabs (they don’t even fake it) … Basically every aspect of the usa culture.
Is this true or is it cliché?
To expand on “it’s only an issue when it happens to them”, having been raised in a very conservative environment I was told that bad things happened to bad people, and that if something happened to a “good” person, there was probably something we just didn’t know about. That thinking offers a false sense of security because as long as you’re not a bad person, bad things can’t happen to you.
It usually takes something bad actually happening to you to break the illusion and get someone to actually start questioning their world, which is hard work. Life is so much easier to live with your head in the sand.
Cause it wasn’t “their” daughters. Remember, those same guys would fuck any other man’s daughter and expect it to be okay. They lack the mental skills to understand another person’s perspective.
Tangentially related, it bothers me people say things like “I have a daughter so I get why it’s upsetting” or whatever. It implies they wouldn’t be able to empathize if they didn’t have one. I know that’s not necessarily always the intention, but it just rubs me the wrong way.
I was more going for the split personalities concept. The same person can say they will kill you if you touch their daughter, but then sit down with their buddies and a beer and relive how heroic they were that one time with mary joe when they got caught and her father peppered the tailgate of his truck as he sped away. Pretty sure there are popular songs about the later. So it’s okay if they do it, but not if someone does it to them and theirs.
And then Trump will call him a loser anyway.
These same men also have a fantasy of picking up their gun and help their fellow American in a hostage or terrorist situation, but during covid, when they had an opportunity to help their fellow Americans by putting a fucking piece of cloth on their face, they refused.
It’s as if “helping their neighbor” was just an excuse in order to not sound self centered.
They dream of saving the world but refuse to wash the dishes.
The reason seems rather to be that these people are deliberately and very demonstratively protecting their own underage daughter because they are fully aware of what their “conservative” peers have in mind for her.
MAGATS uphold rape culture but this dude is a hero and I for one would vote for him to be president and drain the swamp in 2028.
Not to defend pedos, but prison violence is not a good thing, even if in some cases it ends up affecting the “right” people.
If only the justice system properly punished pedos. But they don’t.
So until then. …
The pedos he’s killing are being punished by the justice system though.
Not really. The sentences are weak for the crimes.
You can rape and kill a child and only get 20 years. And serve half and get out.
What would be a just sentence though? If we’re going for “an eye for an eye”, you’ll quickly find that you run out of punishments for the most heinous crimes. And even if you can keep coming up with ways to punish people, it stops seeming like a good idea real fast when you accidentally end up punishing the wrong person.
It’s easy to say “this person deserves more” when you’re talking about an individual case, but when you’re trying to build a system that balances punishment, justice, rehabilitation, deterrence and protecting the public you’re never going to come up with a perfect solution that feels fair all of the time. But the alternative is making arbitrary decisions on a case by case basis, influenced by bias and personal feelings.
That’s not so say the justice system, especially in the US, doesn’t have big problems. But I don’t think the solution is to double down on harsher punishment.
Most sex offenders reoffend. So they either need locked up forever or be required to take drugs to reduce libido or something.
The U.S doesn’t invest in rehabilitation of criminals.
And our culture promotes sex crimes.
So at present. We have limited options to protect children and others who are targeted.
Most sex offenders reoffend. So they either need locked up forever or be required to take drugs to reduce libido or something.
I was interested and looked it up, but turns out this doesn’t really ring true. In fact, only a minority of sex offenders actually reoffend, and when they do it’s most likely for a different, nonsexual crime rather than a sexual one.
There’s a lot of interesting summarizing being done here: https://smart.ojp.gov/somapi/chapter-5-adult-sex-offender-recidivism
It’s hard to get exact numbers though, as sex crimes remain underreported. It does seem however that psychological treatment for these offenders actually helps reduce recidivism rates.
It gets different when you get to repeat offenders; they are much more likely to keep offending after release.
Horse is a really big advocate for pedofiles. We live in a rape culture from the top down and the people who defend that like horse are a BIG part of the problem.
My point exactly because this dude doesn’t belong in prison. He’s not a danger to society
You aren’t imprisoning pedos your increasing the kill count of Caesar Augustus.
I don’t see a problem here.
These same men would think it an honor for Trump to rape their daughters.
Their fantasy is not about justice for women but justice for their stuff being taken. Raping someone else’s kids does not invoke the same emotion, in fact they might be cheering it if the kids in question are from a different social group.
The mental gymnastics with which they support the pdfile is down right Acrobatic.
Hi, dad here. I think you’re confusing two different groups of people.
Hi, hungry here. I think you’re underestimating the overlap on that Venn diagram.
Pointing out that there is a strong overlap in the two groups does not exclude understanding that there are plenty of people in just one of the groups
Honestly this type of mental disconnect is absolutely a thing and it baffles me to no end. These guys are just cosplayering a parody of the “manly man”.
It’s not because they care about the act, they just see their daughters as property and don’t want their chattel ‘defiled’, with exceptions for personal use.
Fuck your
