"p*do class" and why I dislike the implication of that (hexbear.net)

cw: discussion of sa / csa and heavy use of terminology to describe the people who perpetuate that

I take an issue with the "ruling class" being dubbed "pxdo class" not because I don't think they are indeed rxpists and pxdophiles, but because of the implication.

As if it's only them and the majority of them who do it. As if the laws don't already favor rxpists regardless of their class. As if our parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts/uncles, their partners, and your partners arent also complicit and engaging in p*dophilia and rxpe.

There was an article here shared that read like it was written by a dude who has only now started to think about this topic, giving evolutionary reasons as to why "its the ruling class and not the lower class" who engages in pxdophilia (and I disagree with that assertion for multiple reasons.)

1.) The pillaging and ownership of bodies is essential to patriarchy, but is also the reward system in colonialism. This (sa/csa) is patriarchal (rooted in the nuclear family / enforced sex/gender binary) and colonialist violence (violence against those considered less than a person by the oppressor.)

2.) The reward for being a good lower-class worker bee is that you get your very own family to assault, to lie for you, and enable you.

3.) Those of us who have had the misfortune of engaging with the criminal "justice" system to punish our rxpists know that the courts will generally favor the rxpist or abuser, so it is no surprise to me that the rich also get away with their crimes.

Yeah the reason this will never get any of them in trouble is because a significant portion of the US population (mostly men) are essentially okay with it, either harboring some pedophillic tendencies themselves or at least being comfortable enough with it that they basically don't see it as wrong. Look at the number of states where an adult marrying a minor is still legal.

Furthermore this country genuinely hates children. Even its own children and certainly the children of other countries. There is absolutely zero interest in leaving a better society for the next generation. Almost every child here is thoroughly traumatized by one or both of their parents. Anytime proposals are made to improve society for the young, whether it's funding schools, restricting the size of automobiles, gun control, or anything else at least 50% of the population turns into rabid wolves frothing at the mouth for the blood of the youth. We make kids start working when they're ~15 or younger, urge them into debt slavery by their early 20s, and then provide no means of housing or work when they try to make it on their own.

Look at what's happening in Iran right now. US-Isreali strikes murdered 40+ girls at a school. Not a single person involved in the planning or execution of that strike thought of any of those children as human. The soldiers didn't even think the bomb might be more useful hitting a military target. They wanted those children dead.

Kidnapping, violating, and murdering children is par for the course in the US. Hatred of children is widespread. Why would anyone really care that Epstein did any of it?

America is a cannibal country from top to bottom. We are Saturn feasting on our own offspring and the children of the rest of the world.

Is this not a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie? Is the state not an extension of their will?
