>>114835596You need to read "The Quest for Cosmic Justice" by Thomas Sowell. It will explain pretty well what is going on and it will help you understand what a great country and amount of freedom you actually have (and how much you need to protect it).
There are others who will say the same things, several people on YouTube (or elsewhere after they were de-platformed). But I think that book is a good place if you want a single coherent explanation.
>Literally no argument whatsoever. You're asking a lot of cogent questions. There's so much to answer here, but in short: Most of the members of that movement aren't thinking. They are just shouting and feeling the high of being righteous (supposedly). Those who are thinking are using social manipulation, not logic and reasoned principled arguments, to get what they want. Calling someone a pedo is tantamount in these situations to calling someone a racist or a nazi. It normally evokes an immediate reaction of shame because most good people are trained to be polite. So they want to stop being impolite (offending, hurting, etc.) by becoming quiet. The truth is these mobs don't care about what they are shouting, they just want control. That's all it is about.
That whole group of people who do these things are there to gain control, simply for its own sake. (And that should be terrifying to anyone, honestly. The power hungry for power's sake.)
There's far far more to this and I do recommend you read that book. It will tell you a whole about what's going on, it's a great paradigm to look at history through, and you'll gain more knowledge about past, present, and future intricacies regarding free speech, government, governance, rights, law, and justice.
I'm sorry if you find him a dry read, but I didn't. I could be a nerd though... Best of luck. Glad you are thinking and pondering anon.
