If protecting pedophiles is critical to the stability of the system then maaaaaaaybe it's not a very good system?
Protecting Pedophiles is the worst kind of government, except for all the other ones we've tried.
I mean, can you imagine living in a country that doesn't Protect Pedophiles? Only crazy authoritarian communists would want that.
Stellaris new DLC with new government type "Blackmailed Pedo Lords" is wild
We have to let the grown ups in the room make the tough decisions. (The grown ups are pedophiles and they decide to protect eachother)
Them: “Oh kid, you’re SO NAIVE and you don’t understand reality like us geniuses do! I’m smarter than you so I can understand bad things are good, actually! It’s my genius trick! You wouldn’t understand!”
Also them: “You want me to consume less treats so the world can be greener? What do you mean “climate science?” Don’t be an elitist!”
It is like arguing with children:
"Your current lifestyle is not sustainable. Change it in an orderly way before it changes in a chaotic way."
"But I like my lifestyle! I don't want to change it!"
It's like "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas", but much, much worse
"The ones who walk away from pedo islands" would've sounded too fictitious to be taken seriously (despite how extreme Omelas themselves are supposed to be) and yet.....
The future will look like hunger games, but it's a 9 year old going "I vowunteew as twibute" to save her eight year old sister
