Ukraine flag strikes again.

  • The analogy falls off in the case of fresher bullies though, they usually mean to either have fun, or to feed into the conscious of the fresher that they are lower in the college hierarchy. They are not pedophiles in any case.

    Being specific about these things is important. Right wingers and their liberal acolytes find stuff like this for ammunition.

      I get your point I just think that those people will find ammo anyway, and since it gets their dicks hard and pisses them off, might as well go full hog.

      • You are overestimating their abilities. They are like a house of cards.

        There was this one neo Nazi yesterday, on a chatroom, when I said that pedophilia is strictly a fascist idea that flourishes on chans and has never been advocated in socialist circles, he had to reply with “Marx held that belief”. I ripped his BS apart.

              Fidel Castro once attended a meeting with Jean Paul Sartre, and Castro’s face was disgusted and apalled.

              Apparently the meeting was a proposal to lower the age of consent in France.

                Edit 2: Never fucking mind. I had been told that this was about making age of consent the same between gay and straight sex. And on the face of it, it was.

                However half the fucking signatories wanted to abolish the age of consent altogether, in defense of three guys who r*ped a twelve year old. Jesus christ, this is bleak.

                Sartre, Foucault, Deleuze, Aragon, and a bunch of other signatories on the proposal are a bunch of fucking perverts who wanted to abolish age of consent altogether because they believed grown ass men could “fall in love” with children. Fuck this. Fuck them.

                Note: my original comment mentioned that the proposal was to make the age of consent for gay and straight sex equal (it was 15 for straight, 18 for gay), thus cayde’s reply, but I looked into it further and it’s disgusting. there were only a handful of people that cared about equal rights and a lot of people that cared about sleeping with children.

                  That is brain-twistingly frustrating but in a strange way its understandable.

                  Sometimes I wonder if the age of consent is too low at 18. Other times I wonder if its a tiny bit too high. I’ve read arguments that in a “perfect” world the age of consent would be 16, even though I think that would be kinda gross. At the same time I think early 20’s might be a bit too high.

                    I think there’s a lot to be said about the age of the participants. Like, we can’t pretend that teenagers don’t have sex. They do. But they shouldn’t be having sex with people in their twenties. Not because the teenagers are wrong, but because the people in their twenties are wrong for wanting to sleep with teenagers.

                    That’s why a lot of laws take a view of age of consent that also considered the age gap between the participants.
