- Nick Fuentes gets asked if he's a pedophile

"No, BUT....."

Optics 👏

@ChristiJunior
I am seriously starting to hate the term.

@LukeAlmighty "optics" or "pedophile"?

@ChristiJunior
Pedophile.
Because it ruins the entire discussion around the relation ships.

@ChristiJunior
Optics in politics have died with "we're coming for your childern" chorus

@ChristiJunior
Because there is no way of raising the concept, that women shouldn't be working till 40, and maybe choose to marry young instead of getting railed..... without being called pedophile.

And that is a problem.

@ChristiJunior
I tried to debate it in here, and when I said: I would accept young year marrige, even if it included a mandatory waiting till the woman grows to 18...

I was still called pedophile, because the guy didn't understand the concept of caring about your wife.

This is the power of that fucking word.

@LukeAlmighty There's no point even trying to engage with people like that on such an issue, because it's too emotional.

@ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty rather, I think it's that discourse has gotten so degraded by so many bad actors. If you argue for anything, it's always absolutely assumed that you're making a self-interested argument. "He wants a lower age of consent so that he can get away with one night stands with younger women."

A nice insight I got from Michael Malice is that the natural state of man is anarchy -- and not in some idealized or some pre-history scenario, not "we would have anarchy if not for all these cops", but "literally right now, *most* things work in an anarchic manner, right now". There are lots of incentives, but ultimately I sleep comfortably at night because none of my neighbors hate my guts. As the joke goes
>call the cops!
>they're not going to un-rape you!
And per this insight, as long as nobody calls the cops, as long as everyone involved is cool with what's happening, it doesn't matter what the laws are. I don't need to cry any tears over some case like a 15 year old and a 25 year old legitimately falling in love and choosing to wait for each other, because they can just do it and not tell anybody. If asked if they've had sex, they can say 'no'. And: why don't you mind your own fucking business?

Naturally if I ever advanced this position in public I would be accused of
1. being a pedophile
2. supporting entire cults and secret societies of pedos

@apropos @ChristiJunior
> As long as noone calls the cops
That's what I hate about the modern law system. It's no longer about what's moral, but what a fat guy in Brusel decided to sign without reading.

And then, as soon as a cop hears about the "crime", even if he agrees, he is forced to ruin my life. And I seriously mean shit, that noone would care about in a sane society. Like flying a drone with more weight then .5 kg. THAT'S NOT IMMORAL, NO MATTER WHO YOU ASK!!!
