No. I’m not a truther. It’s a play on the, “every accusation is a confession” narrative.

    Authoritarian systems tend to create conditions for pedophiles and other sexual predators to thrive. They have a group on the heirarchy who are above reproach in the eyes of everyone around them. That doesn’t mean everyone on that level will be sexual predators, but sexual predators who get in there will be protected.

    Having seen such a system from the inside (Jehovah’s Witness), I’ve even seen that members will genuinely be disgusted at sexual predators. In their mind, that’s all the more reason to believe there are no sexual predators around their group. Their group is good, and therefore, bad people aren’t in their group.

      I think it’s also because paedos get off on the power imbalance and so do people like MAGA who want to create a society where they get to act like the corrupt cop all the time. So when they need to get more of a high from doing worse and worse it makes sense that they’d go for kids. Sick fucks.
