This thing was fun when it seemed like a game, but real people got hurt. It fueled the biases of abusive people. I mostly kept my ethics - other people suffered total ethical collapses. VIPs descended into paranoia and narcissism; surveillance expanded without gaining efficacy; the integrity and sincerity of the left decayed; huge amounts of money got funneled towards fundamentally dishonest people abusive of the trust of others. This PG thing is kind of a potent tactic, but potent tactics aren’t powerless games. It initially only seemed like an excuse for amysing web searches.
I’ve found exposing causal structures is a pretty good way to turn people. False types get nauseated; the efficacy points make them fear their own pattern. Honest people notice that they’re not powerless and on realizing power they turn towards brighter conducts.
Let me tell you why there’s no statistically valid reason to fear pedophilia in modern society: the birth rate trend. Pedophilic societies breed. I do mean the full molestation pattern. Premature sexual contact makes people promiscuous. It’s so profoundly unpopular, even people who want grandchildren almost never want grandchildren that badly.
The only sense in which the left is pedophilic is that they manipulate young people and occasionally discard them when they’re not young anymore. That pattern is 1) emotional, not sexual manipulation, 2) sometimes helpful in helping people escape more serious abuse, 3) so indistinguishable to ragite conservatives from every other form of interaction that the right doesn’t have a platform to object.
Or it shouldn’t, at least. Maybe rightists have cleaned up. Leftism-the-movement is stagnantly abusive in the current year; they lost the art of looking away, have enforced taboos against emotionally healthy quiet life patterns, and are not honest enough to be tolerant anymore. Maybe they’ll be better by year’s end. A reliance on disloyalty was, after all, core to their engagement with youth. They were relying on children to be sufficiently disloyal as to report actual conditions without sweet face-saving lies.
