By the way, progression is the right word. Eventually, the “buzz” he described is no longer enough.
We already know children are involved.

Go back to where he mentions the cold sweat that is supposed to run down your back when he mentions the word “sociopath.”
Put yourself in his position for that moment. The thing flashing through his mind. Cold sweat. Is it visually assaulting a grown woman for a brief moment?

“regard for the impact on the victim”
No, you missed it the first time, now you’ll miss it again. There were no ‘victims’, but what there was was a guy whose entire life was ruined and who suffers daily more inconvenience, frustration, limitation, restriction and prohibition than anyone who would ever see a penis, and at such enormous disproportion to the crime that anyone who didn’t have enough sense to see it should be summarily shot (ain’t sayin’ any names).
Imagine the sociopath you’d become if everyone you encounter lacked precisely that sense. You’d not be able to tell if they were just contemptible morons or sadists. In either case, there is every reason to lose more regard and concern for others and want to offend them even more. It’s a vicious circle.

Nature doesn’t lie. Patterns exist. These people do not see any harm they do. But they count every bean of perceived injury.
Or they see the harm. But they don’t think it’s wrong. They perceive it only as a sexual relation. Remember that they live in this state of harmedness, so why is it so wrong for others if it’s what he lives with? It’s normal.
Now, the injuries he counts like beans, _those_ are wrong.

The world made him do it, bla bla bla.
You think this entire complex exists to hide only the level of sexual assault we already know about?

And its even larger than a game of psychoanalysis between two forum trolls, if you can believe it. ‘Victim’ is what you call me because you can’t imagine calling out such insolence and corruption of the State’s without being a victim. Anyone who’s gone through THAT would HAVE to think of himself as a victim, you reason. But not necessarily. What if he’s entirely more interested in what he’s found out about the world and less interested in trying to draw useless sympathy from strangers at a forum? Again, though, you can’t see how that would work if you stay focused on my lesser much more trivial crime. The State has been disembowled before you, and you’re complaining that some guy is just trying to get a little attention.
My good man, there is much much more going on here, and I’d advise you to place your philosophical priorities in their appropriate order.

Right, “victimhood” would not be enough to cover the gravity of what was done to you.
I don’t think you’re evil. I don’t even think you think you are doing anything wrong. But I don’t think anybody is evil.
I think people like this should be treated like the disease they are. Frankly, I would just eliminate them. But it’s not up to me. Precicely because they do _not_ understand that there is anything wrong with it.

If I think of you as a victim, it is not because of the hygenic steps the state has attempted to take to protect children and others.
It is because of the horrific shit that you must have lived as a child.

_“There were no victims”…_
Yes there were “victims”, but decidedly not you.
They were the “someones” you put in a helpless position, the persons preyed upon.
_"It is because of the horrific shit that you must have lived as a child_"
With that statement above he has won round one.
In his mind you are a pushover.
The man is so devious that one can almost visualize his facial expression.

“He is only concerned about his “social” standing and amazingly a strong sense of entitlement. For himself.”
I mean… if trying to find work, an apartment and a few friends is being concerned only about social standing… then by god, I’m guilty, your honor. Guilty af.
I’m like, “CAN this person be THIS slow?” Is it even possible, or is this some kind of AI trick. Is this thing a virtual creation of some chatbot programmed to be an imbecile by indexing all the possible ways a person can be wrong about a Prom? Seriously, this can’t be real.

And this is so crazy because you’d actually be disappointed if you could go back in time and be there to see it. All the trailers running in your overheated heads would lead you to believe it would rock, but it ends up being kinda lame and they just ran all the cool scenes in succession for the trailer and made it look like it would be action packed the whole time. So you’re like omg omg this is gonna be good and then… wahhhh wahhh wahhhhhh (that horn sound). You’d be so upset that you couldn’t indulge your own perverse fantasies in a little rubbernecking that you’d forget to feel embarrassed and apologize to me for these horrible things you’ve said.

“it is not because of the hygenic steps the state has attempted to take to protect children and others”
Oh, that nonsense was dead decades ago, haus. SORNA has proven to have done nothing but waste money, resources, and ruin the lives of countless thousands of people nationwide (some have been murdered by the community). It hasn’t changed offense or reoffense statistics anywhere in any substantial way. This means that it don’t work, my dude. But the irony! The excessive alienation becomes a catalyst for further deviant behavior. You gotta love it.
And that’s if the dude should be on the registry in the first place. Your problem is worse. The laws you indirectly support (if you’re an american… let’s pretend you are for our purposes) say that the crime i committed that got me on the lifetime registry was a misdemeanor indecent exposure, not a felonious sex offense. So then, are you simply unaware that your system is a fraud, or do you willingly endorse this nonsense?
This all means that your fraudulent system has created a pointless gestapo style sex offender program that remains in use to this day, decades after sufficient criticism has been made against it. Not even the slightest effort to reform it, either.
Bruh. C’mon. This is what I do.

Alright, this is exclusive content right here, and I’m taking you guys into the vault. This is an utterly true story.
I was less than eight and older than four… not sure exactly… but i was being baby-sat by one of those young middle school girls. My moms was out doing something… maybe a date, can’t recall. But when bedtime came, i refused to go to bed until she showed me her dangerzone… and i got a knife from the kitchen and mock-pretended to be ready to use it if she didn’t comply. I was clearly not intent on stabbing her, and it must have been something i saw in a movie… but still. She was cool and i was well behaved so I’ll be damned if she didn’t do it. Shimmied her jeans and panties down and beholden there before me did i see for the very first time in real life an actual vagine. Very nice!
But your boy sexy Ted did some similar heinous shit when he was like three. I say he saw it in a movie or, more likely, a detective mag. But lil bro put knives in a circle around his aunt (if i remember) while she was napping. How hot is that?

“Precicely because they do not understand that there is anything wrong with it”
No, man, they just don’t care. Knowing right from wrong is easy - what you can and can’t do, and even the thickest of serial killers understand this. Either they don’t care (which means not to honor) or they’re in some kind of creepy mind game with an imaginary god where they think of themselves as missionaries who are doing wrong but are allowed to. Whathisname… the yorkshire ripper. Case example.
But this is ‘wrongness’ in a nonphilosopically trivial way. If a dummy like Ridgeway suddenly became a PhD level moral relativist during an interview, would you dare to debate him?
We have to stay out of philosophy if we want to condemn these fuckers because they’ve got it and science on their side. Which means a horny serial killer will always beat a moral objectivist in a formal debate.
…..
And the probability of me becoming a rapist serial killer is extreeeemly low. Even though a decent clean escort starts at five hundred per hr and the State will charge you with a crime for having sexy time with her, all this is still less costly and time consuming than raping a ho. In fact, it would involve less time, planning, and risk to just build a deck in a day, buy an escort, and face a possible misdemeanor charge than it would stalking a victim, arranging the abduction, the location for the sexual assault, the disposal (or detainment) of the corpse, eliminating DNA evidence with oxidizing bleach, writing letters to the POleece to taunt them… it’s like this whole big ordeal, man. You don’t just snatch up a couple cute hitchhikers in striped tubesocks and then toss em into a river like in the good ol days before all this forensics nonsense (that fuckin Crick and his buddy piss me off).

I don’t think that’s true, and one doesn’t even have to go to arcane or fringe sources of information for this - though I think there is valuable information outside the mainstream. That this kind of trend would happen I think could be predicted 20 even perhaps 30 years ago looking at the follow trends…
1. Wealth concentration & financialization
2. Globalization of labor markets
3. Automation & software scaling
4. Rise of platform companies
5. Decline of labor power
6. Shift from industrial to knowledge economy
7. Venture capital growth model
8. Cheap capital / low interest rates
9. Data & algorithmic management
10. Corporate consolidation
11. Remote work technologies
12. Demographic & productivity pressures
13. Intangible assets replacing human labor
14. AI research compounding
15. Shareholder primacy ideology
16. Managerial “lean company” mindset
17. Global talent pools via internet
The incredible increase, predictable, in ways of making money without producing anything alone is creating ‘middle men’ earners and that is going to cut the workforce. Obama may have slowed the trend down a bit, but that trend continued under him also.

Nice! I lost another decent lick because somebody saw my penis sixteen years ago.
Lady needs a small roof rebuild and some door casing repaired. I google her address, find out she’s a home daycare center, and then tell her some kind of lie to get out of it.
Real effects, bro. REAL lived consequences that have devastating effects. I’m lucky to get two calls a week… and then it’s a coin toss whether or not i can take the job. How did Elvis explain it… “I’m caught in a trap”.
Where it gets ugly is when an SO, moi, comes across people that actually support this nonsense. It’s a sadism unlike any other in the criminal justice system. It becomes personal. It’s gotta. These shitstains are actually saying “yes, Prom, I should like this stuff to happen to you for the rest of your miserable life”. That’s like fightin’ werdz, ain’t it?

Speaking of decent irony check this one out. There’s videos with thousands if not millions of views and likes of dudes walking up to young women in random public places with either a raging boner or some object in their pants mimicing one. His friend is off to the side, secretly recording the confrontation. The dude’s not bad lookin’ (i know what handsome is without being gay, thank you), and never once is there any tangible hostility. They don’t know they’re being recorded, but they must, shirley, assume it’s a gag of some sort i would think.
In the same universe on the same planet, I do the same thing… and yet when people find out I’ve done it, they want to kill me. The question then is: would i have gotten any likes if i posted video of it?
It was essentially the same thing, but the baddies were two to three years younger than the baddies in the boner-guy’s videos. And neither was there any actual confrontation, no conversation, like there is in the boner-vidz.
My confrontation involved absolutely no acknowledgment or wordz or even any eye contact in a glance. However, each party had to know the other knew they were each compliant with what was happening while at the same time not actually acknowledging that through contact of any sort. Like a game each player plays and enjoys a bit of erotica without having to be responsible for the fact that it’s happening. Being ‘naughty’, as it were. Consent is given by the fact that no party walks off or leaves. Unspoken agreement under a technical illusion propagated through the unofficial acknowledgment of what’s happening while, paradoxically, approving of it entirely. It is a caricature act. You could do a Sartrean play with it. The characters go back and forth between monologues in their heads about the nervous awkwardness, the erotic excitement, what they should do next, etc, and neither one can hear what the other parties are thinking. French existential libertinism of the Decadent movement sort, clearly. It presents forbidden erotica in an existentially tensioned context between parties in conflict with their morals, values, sense of public-self, etc. A fantastic portrayal of the forced division of human nature into the civil socially acceptable and the prohibited ego-eros lying underneath the superego. The struggle of the freewill to endulge itself in its independence without having to bear the restrictions placed on it by the public superego. It does this by remaining officially isolated from affirming the other’s being through ‘the look’. Only would ‘the look’ confirm post-experentially that authentic consent via an act of freewill has happened. Until and not unless this happens is there authenticity… buy precisely on this account by lacking authenticity is the secretive nature of the roleplay a confession of individual sedition; only in such a perverse and inappropriate encounter could one ever truly act freely with the Other in a pure union of individuals. That is to say, the logico contradictio apparatio in praxio here is that it seems only through the inauthentic lack of acknowledgment - the role-play, the unspoken consent - is there any real authenticity. If to acknowledge the encounter and still remain there would be to openly violate the superego by unconcealing it, the ego and id will not find genuine expression. Therefore, to act truly freely as the individual, all three parts must remain in tact so the tyranny of the superego can be overcome by the individual ego. Ergo, disobedience is necessary to act authentically?
Discuss.
