The writer argues that, in terms of definitions, a pedophile has not necessarily committed a crime. I took this as a fairly obvious point, yet a third of this article (or more) is dedicated to making that distinction.

The article goes on to argue that the most recent neuroscience suggests this is not a choice; in fact, they say it is congenital and/or imprinted by the early environment or even head traumas. I found that a bit odd. First, they portray this as a totally natural condition, but then they go on to say that rates of pedophilia are more pronounced in men, with one possible cause being a higher incidence of adolescent head trauma. Hmmm. I wonder if they asked whether rates might be higher among adolescent child sex abuse victims.

One thing I agreed with is the fact that all people tend to, at times, have inappropriate sexual thoughts. But to open a lecture in front of an audience by establishing that point is flagrantly misleading, because having an intermittent inappropriate thought is different than having a paraphilia. These are not the same fucking things.

I'm willing to tolerate even the possibility that some pedophiles are afflicted for no particular fault of their own.

For me this is an issue of tolerability. One could easily make the argument that violent murderers and serial killers became this way for no particular fault of their own. The question that needs to be asked is whether these sicknesses (even if they are naturally caused) are tolerable in a decent society. The ethical assumptions being made by the writer here are massive, i.e. that we have a duty to approach these people with some kind of understanding - the unspoken part being that we, in part, normalize the condition with an eye toward rehabilitating it (I'm being generous).

But it may be morally permissible for a society to simply say, "No, we do not have to tolerate this, anymore than we have to tolerate people with psychotic tendencies that make them desire murdering someone. If you knew, I mean, you fucking knew that someone had powerful desires to kill innocent human beings, would you knowingly allow this person to live near you? No you would not."

One problem with all such conditions is (a) the mind and motivations are private; people lie about their thoughts, and (b) a person would always have an incentive to hide such criminal thoughts. There's no reason for us to think that rehabilitation works. The litmus test is what, that our kids don't get raped?

A society does not have to tolerate this possibility. Some things should be eliminated from the race. Just because something is natural does not mean it is good (a fact apparently lost on the woke); snakes are natural and so is their venom. If I find a poisonous snake in my yard, I will cut off its head. To this someone objects: "But these are people! They can control themselves."

Being a functioning and morally upright person (a citizen) already requires self-control. Our society already faces problems due simply to racial differences in impulsivity and intelligence. Life is hard enough without having to also control violent, sexual impulses toward children. And nobody in a society has a moral duty to accept this, to accept the risk of living with pedophiles.

how very strange that this came out and then the glowniggers of voat tried to justify it while at the same time shifting the blame to Christians

voat really needs a purge of all these kike accounts

This shows that they are afraid that we really do understand that pedophiles are sadistic psychopaths that target the most vulnerable!

That they run everything and manipulate our whole society through their power.

Gaslighting the whole world at the same time taught many millions of the dangers of their subversion and manipulation.

That's why they need to fast walk normalizing this. Too many people know what the problem is.

Child molesters and pedophiles are literally the same thing. It's not a Venn Diagram, it's just one kike circle.

How about, two circles overlayed perfectly on top of eachother.
