  Most “paedophile hunters” are in fact paedophiles. They love to project.

    They’re pedophile hunters in the same way Saul Goodman is a criminal lawyer.

      He’s not just a criminal lawyer, he’s a criminal lawyer.

    Is there truth to this? I get projection, but I haven’t heard anything about this before

      Anecdotal evidence based on past witch hunts by the right like gay panic, adultery/porn problems - panic based mobs are haunted by the people they hunt.

      I mean in this group they were talking about not only beating someone but shoving a dildo in their ass. I think they want to commit sex crimes.

    it make sense to know how to detect and hunt pedos, one has to be a pedo themselves, they know how they think and operate.

      To catch the criminal, you should think like the criminal (that photo with Russian drug control service people sniffing something).

    Knew some people like that, they liked to talk about how there are some “good ones”, who save young girls from poverty, and even marry them later on. Also they really were jealous of young boys who were molested by hot women, and did not bother pursuing their case.

  Oh NO! Once they hear about how Jeffrey Epstein’s BEST FRIEND is Disappearing CHILDREN using ICE while PROTECTING the World’s most POWERFUL Pedophiles they’re going to GO Crazy!

  So they don’t know who trump is?

  • Carmakazi@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    The most vile among them are at best ambivalent towards Trump. They’ll say he’s part of the same [Jewish/communist] cabal as the rest of the globalist NWO government and would be glad to put him to the torch as long as they get to put everyone else to the torch. He doesn’t go far enough quick enough, basically.

  Vigilantes are pretty much always odd in applying their “justice”.

  Which is why we have police, y’know

    … To indiscriminately beat up anyone who’s not rich?

  The obsession with pedos has long struck me as an excuse to generate violence against a target group by naming them as the most unambiguously vile people. It’s the core of blood libel, pizza gate, anti-drag laws, etc. I don’t think the turnaround of “you know who the real pedos are?” is all that effective. I think we need a revulsion to vigilantism that is even stronger than revulsion to any crime, so claims of crime or harm cannot be used to lend support to vigilante violence.

    They used to be able to do it with gay people and be lauded by the public and had indifference to their violence by governments. They’ve just moved groups, same shitty people.

    • deathbird@mander.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yeah, but the odds (and advisability) of “normalizing” pedos (despite some movements in the 70’s), similar to how gay people were is…well I think it’s low, for reasons I hope I don’t have to explain. That’s what makes them a useful perennial target, or claim. Universal one too, even people on the left will throw it around as an accusation. It can devolve into arguments about who is or isn’t a valid target for vigilantism (whether they do or don’t fit the category), when the argument should be against vigilantism itself.
