My editor trashed my inquiry into child sexual abuse. Now I know why.

- jvanderbot 3y agoRight, the "obvious" link between government power and pedophiles sounds like UK's version of Qanon. Are there pedophiles in power? Almost certainly. Is everyone in power a pedophile? No.
- datavirtue 3y agoSo I've heard.

- sjducb 3y agoThe goal of Russian propaganda is to spread doubt and distrust. The aim is to get people to believe that objective truth doesn’t exist, and that ALL elites are corrupt.

- xNeil 3y agoYou're either reading Russian propaganda or American Propaganda. If you live in the US, which one will affect you more? (Genuinely asking)
- ithkuil 3y agoAll except "the right person who you can trust for some reason"
- sjducb 3y agoActually no. Pre war Russian propaganda was 100% sowing doubt, even internally. However now that they need to motivate ppl to fight it has started to move back to Soviet style propaganda which promotes a consistent false narrative. Basically ppl who don’t believe anything won’t rebel against you. They also won’t fight for you.

- toyg 3y agoThere seems to be something peculiarly British about child abuse. Probably as a result of the enduring popularity of boarding schools, judging from media reports, the number of convicted pedophiles and sex offenders seems, to me, so much higher than in other countries. Does anyone have any stats confirming or disproving my gut feeling?
- kranke155 3y agoEton, where upper class boys are sent for a good part of their early life, has a strong connection to temporary homosexual connections, at least from the books I’ve read about the place. There’s been arrests by teachers at Eton for the same reason. Child sexual abuse. That’s all I know
- zozbot234 3y ago> temporary homosexual connections A.k.a. "don't drop the soap!". Let's call a spade a spade. What you're referring to is male-dominance-based rape culture in its clearest form.
- kranke155 3y agoI don’t know that it involves rape, necessarily. From what I’ve read it sounds more like prison where horny men just make do. Eton and other boarding schools are where these kids live for many years.
- zozbot234 3y ago> horny men just make do Well yes, that's the whole point. In practice "make do" sex is all-too-likely to translate into abuse, driven by a mixture of sheer frustration (due to lack of the sought-after kind of sex partners) and a widespread culture based on physical domination within some toxic hierarchy of perceived masculinity. This is true both in prisons and elsewhere, e.g. in more general gender-segregated conditions as are common in some underdeveloped countries.
