- Comment on Anti-government violence is growing. The response needs to be more than just increased policing 2 weeks ago:
30 years ago, the US created “section 230”, which was used to indemnify platforms from what was written on those platforms. Attach that to an algorithm which promotes certain things while suppressing others, and now American companies can publish by proxy. They don’t need to write vile stuff, just promote it to create danger for people who don’t agree with them.
Australia does not have this rule but instead of using that fact to fight against rampant misinformation on platforms like Facebook, Labor have created a framework to ostensibly “protect children”, but actually to create a real name policy on web platforms. The reason is because fighting a Google is much harder than fighting some guy who posted something in support of Palestine.
This creates fertile ground to construct the case violent action against politicians, almost always on the left*. Labor need to understand that this is not a “bipartisan” thing, or “simply good regulation” or whatever. ONP goons will happily kill people (or allow people to be killed) in the ALP (among others). You can see this in the horrifying rhetoric making light of Jacqui Lambie’s injuries. While the Libs might not, the Nats absolutely will stand by and watch someone murder left wing politicians at the behest of far right US platforms.
It’s time to hold these platforms to account through truth in advertising laws which are extremely popular, not to mention as publishers of illegal material (which Facebook for example is absolutely doing).
*Note: This isn’t about who commits the action, but about who the action is against.

Very sorry for what happened to you. A great line I heard once was “it’s not the child, it’s the abuse”, and that really helped me understand the problem better. I think the goal of a lot of people when hearing about CSA is to try and take children out of society as a whole (eg: don’t have them represented in media), and that’s the “solution”, but really children deserve to be in society, they deserve a say, they deserve to be taken seriously. In fact, trying to erase children as a whole is what gives abusers their power, and really it’s about the power difference which enables abuse.

So here’s the thing, someone who’s a thousand years old mentally would be quite intimidating, sexually, regardless of what they’re like physically. The thing about a lot of fictional “thousand year old” characters is that they still act like children, more or less.
There was a bit in Aeon Flux (or was it Ghost in the Shell?) where some kid (>16) was hitting on her, and she was like “oh you want to have sex? Sure let’s see what you’ve got” and the kid just like shits his pants. I think they end up having sex but in the aftermath it’s clear the kid was not in control.
So IMO you had a realistic “physically 9 but mentally 1000 year old” I think most pedos would not be into that.

There’s a Tom Tanuki video about this. He’s actually done a couple of videos digging into how facebook is allowing bullshit content to sway public opinion.

It sucks because apparently we do not extend this to people fighting in Ukraine. It’s technically illegal for an Australian citizen to fight for another country IIUC.
- Comment on Interesting movie detail you've never noticed 2 months ago:
It’s fear. I don’t think they’re lying about why they are doing this, as absurd as it seems. They (being the administration, just to be clear) believe that they must wipe out Islam (and I guess Christianity) to prevent being genocided themselves. It’s a weird outcome of the Nazi genocide, that the attitude in Israel is basically “it wouldn’t have happened if I were there”, but the corollary to that is “because I’d do it to everyone else”.
That’s not how we live. I can’t plan to kill my neighbour because I’m reasoning that they’re planning to kill me (because I’m planning to kill them, after all). That’s insane.
Btw, that’s also the Nazi train of thought. That’s what “the great replacement” theory is about, that Jews are planning to dilute the white race or whatever, and the only solution is genocide. It’s a concocted fear.

Predators are warriors. The IDF and current Israeli administration is pretty fundamentally driven by fear.
