It is becoming increasingly clear that the pedophile’s preferred mode of self defense against scrutiny is deflection by way of fake moral outrage. Confront and restrict the pedophile from being able to sexualize children and he will complain about the evils of your “authoritarianism.”
If being called an authoritarian is the worst we have to fear in response to censuring those who victimize children, I would argue that there’s not much of a reason not to censure them.
Geraldo Rivera, a sexual degenerate and defender of convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, exemplified this point perfectly when he complained to Tucker Carlson about the Orban administration’s decision to prohibit LGBTQ-normalizing content for children.
At what point do we exempt pedo-defenders from appealing to fake moral outrage in their own defense, or in defense of their pedo buddies? At what point do we stop letting them shame us into making excuses for being “authoritarian”?
We owe it to our kids to endure the name calling.
