Needed to make this a main post for the sake of visibility, but in general, I think reset the clock did a lot more damage than help, because of the fact that people believe that the only reason you could ever be against a certain thing, is because you’re engaging in it yourself, when we know for a fact that isn’t the case.
To be specific, it is very much possible to be against loli/shota porn and not be an IRL predator. People like Ableist forget that, while I’m not against it existing per se, I understand why certain places would ban it altogether, and I would actually like for Ableist or anyone else to actually post the specific places where “governments ban loli/shota porn and waste police resources” where people have actually been arrested for the sole possession of that fictional content, because as much as you say that, I’ve never seen it. Unless that’s like a European thing, I’ve generally never heard of that before.
I just don’t get why some people don’t understand why the average person thinks that someone who jerks off to loli/shota porn isn’t right in the head.
The "right wing" parties areabout as right as engels half the time. Big government neocons aren't actually right wing. Right wing authoritarianism is a contradiction - you can't be both.
The modern horseshoe political scale is propagandist bullshit. An objective measure of political ideology does not indulge in cultural relativism - extreme right wing ideology is not "auth but OUR guy". An accurate scale has anarchism as the right wing end and authoritarianism is the left wing end, and every ideology fits on that scale somewhere.
It also doesn't perpetuate the horseshit that nazis are right wing.
