And Liberalism That Accepts That Is Dead: Your Provocative Idea For Tuesday
Every once in a while I turn off the filters I put on my search engine and e-mail and I go to look at the current state of affairs in the online porn industry. Every time I do that I'm surprised, not that things are worse than before, but how blatantly porn produced by raping people who are clearly underage children is distributed on such venues as Tumblr. I looked again over the weekend and some of the children being raped and presented as sex objects are clearly prepubescent, both girls and boys.
Where are the legions of those online who are so opposed to the rape or sexual abuse of children when the rapists are religious clergy when the rapists are pornographers? I mean, the evidence isn't hidden in some decades old file, it's available to anyone who types "daddy twink tumblr"* into their search engine. A friend of mine, a woman who shares my opposition to pornography agrees with me that things are getting steadily worse as the customers of pornography are habituated to the depravity that worked last year and the porn industry steps things up to keep their business.
When I see how the very same people, blogs and online magazines who make a huge show of condemning the rape of children when the rapist can be associated with religion, especially the Catholic church, are entirely indifferent, if not tacitly supportive when the rape is to the glory of Mammon and depravity. Their disapproval has nothing to do with the abuse and destruction of children, of their rights being violated and everything to do with their hatred of religion.
I also include the politicians, prosecutors and judges who obviously couldn't possibly care less about the blatant abuse and rape of children, many advertised as being from countries where children are forced into prostitution through economic coercion and political corruption. This is the dream of the most corrupt of degenerate imperial elites spread out for anyone with an internet connection to see and ignore. Liberalism that tolerates this without condemning it is dead liberalism that has sold its soul and can't do more than enable the worst through an enabling libertarianism.
A constitution, a First Amendment that protects an industry based on the rape of children is a constitution and a First Amendment that don't work for a democracy in a decent country. Ours don't, they don't deserve to be respected and revered anymore than if they permit slavery, the subjugation of women and discrimination against ethnic and religious minorities. And it was liberal "justices" on the court, in the past and today, who both promoted the interpretations of those which permitted this situation and provided the fascists on the court, today, to use those as slogans permitting billionaires to buy elections and steal everything, including our children.
* I was reluctant to tell people how to find what I'm talking about but I strongly suspect anyone who wanted to find it would know how to already.
