Groomers hate sex ed, because it eliminates the ignorance they need to exploit in order to lure in their victims.

If kids don't know they're being abused, they can't tell on their abusers. Gotta ask why the right wing is so vehemently against empowering children.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We don't have to ask that at all, it's pretty obvious actually.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I guess I wish more public figures would ask that.

In a series of videos shared in private Facebook groups, Pedersen is seen standing among bushes across the street from the Alberta Teachers’ Association head office in Edmonton. The videos are filmed at night time and Pedersen is illuminating her face with a flashlight.

“I’m in a very special place,” Pedersen tells viewers in one video. “I am standing in front of the Alberta Teachers’ Association. Why am I standing here?"

Because you're a goddamn lunatic?

People who want to feel like they're special by spreading shit online when they're more of the back-of-the-bus variety special...

[–] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think you mean short bus. Or the front. The back was where the cool kids sat.

The extreme right hates sex education because it makes children far more difficult to sexually abuse.

Someone needs to bring signs that say GROOMERS AGAINST EDUCATION

Pedocon theory is a theory like the theory of gravity is a theory.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 years ago

A theory is a well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can incorporate laws, hypotheses and facts.

I don't want those fuckers anywhere near my kids. Not only are they fucking nuts, but this is the kind of shit that always winds up with a bunch of pedos "protecting the children"

Those people are what mental illness look like.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 9 points 2 years ago

Literally every one of these concern trolling groups hides an actual predator or ten. The rest are all apologists or guilty of other forms of emotional abuse and neglect.

Another astroturf event incoming. Will we see perfectly choreographed videos of 50 people with identical half-full gas cans "spontaneously" showing up in support this time too?

[–] Touching_Grass@lemmy.world 42 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Ok, plan a sex education convey.

They're literally telling you where they will all be. Time to break out a projector and hold a sex education class.

Come on. Are we new

Get a loudspeaker and blast some educational YouTube at their ignorant asses. Probably will just piss them off, but it might actually enlighten a few of them. Win-win.

Play a bunch of documentaries at them. They'll either go home or have a come to Jesus moment and realize how awful they've been.

Yay ignorance!

Fucking nutters.

Man, PWEI really nailed it in the 90s with Ich Bien Ein Auslander's lyrics.

"It can't happen here". Oh yeah?

"Take a look around at the cities and the towns."

See them hunting, creeping, sneaking

Breeding fear and loathing with the lies they're speaking

The knife, the gun, broken bottle, petrol bomb

There is no future when the past soon come.

As a trans woman, that song has been coming to mind an awful lot these last few years.

Will you speak out?
Will you defend me?
Freedom of expression doesn't make it alright!
Trampled under foot by the rise of the right

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You will know them by their inbreeding.

Sex ed ain't for them kissin' cousin Coutts folk.

(Edit: at least 2 folk are their own aunt/uncle)

[–] Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh man, now we need to get signs that say "Kissin' Cousins Convoy!".

These idiots can be heard as soon as they finish a high-school sexual health exam.

I'm willing to bet that all of them would fail spectacularly.

Another convoy?

Guys, time to lay out some spikes, run up and slash tires/bust windows just fuck they shit up. Direct action. Fat ass truckers can't catch you.

Followed shortly afterwards by a fervent speech against clean drinking water.

Many years ago, the westboro baptist assholes tried to protest a funeral in McAlester, OK. Someone slashed the tires on the van they had driven to town, and nobody in town would replace their tires, until they went to walmart where a spineless manager made the techs change their tires. It was amazing, nobody ever got in trouble, and they never came back to that town. If you want a subset of assholes to stay away, sinilar steps should be taken to make thier visit expensive and difficult.
