For most of my life I have sensed an undercurrent of resentment by certain people — specifically, that they weren’t alive to protest with MLK, or oppose the Vietnam War, or do any of those cool 60s things. Consequently, ISTM, some people are always looking for the next civil rights issue to get upset about. They want to protest too, doggone it! <\/p>\n
This leads to an attitude of never being satisfied. There’s always another evil thing to be uprooted. There’s a constant search for villains and victims. <\/p>\n
To some extent … to a small extent … this is a good thing. We always want to be improving. But it seems to have gone way beyond that. It’s a paranoid sickness, analogous to the heresy hunters you find in some strict religious circles. Nothing is ever pure enough. <\/p>\n
Who’s the next victim? <\/p>\n
I’m afraid it might be pedophiles (or perhaps ephebophiles). Those poor, misunderstood people who have been abused and discriminated against for so long. <\/p>\n
There were some good satiric posts from The Babylon Bee<\/i> about this. E.g., Hollywood Elites Rush To Normalize Pedophilia Before They’re All Outed By Ghislaine Maxwell<\/a> <\/p>\n But now we’ve also got the Cuties controversy over at Netflix.<\/a> <\/p>\n What do you think?
