*Trigger Warning* pedophilia, child rape
If you think pedophilia isn’t a institutionalized problem, you have no idea what’s going on.
Look at the ages of consent in European countries.
In Cyprus and Ireland, it’s 17 years of age.
In Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Russia, the UK, it’s 16 years of age.
In France, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Greece, Iceland, it’s 15 years of age.
In Germany, Austria, Italy, Portugal, Hungary, it’s just 14 years of age.
And for France, they’re just raising their age of consent to 15. Stop and think about that for a second.
France is raising their legal age of consent to 15 because it came to light that in two court cases men who had raped 11-year-olds could not be prosecuted as rapists. The children had to prove that they were forced for it to be legally called rape. So the French authorities have finally decided to do something about it and in their pedophiliac wisdom decided on 15 years of age. And before the French authorities decided on 15 as their legal age of consent, they considered raising it to just 13 years of age.
Meanwhile, 15, 16, even 17-years-old is still mentally and emotionally a child and a child isn’t able to consent to anything.
Alan Dershowitz, one of Epstein’s alleged pedophile cronies and Donald Trump’s lawyer, has argued for lowering the age of consent in the US from 18 years of age to 15. He has never been investigated for his ties to Epstein’s pedophile activities, despite his multiple stays on Epstein’s island where child rape was being committed by adults daily. He continues to live his life being a rich and powerful lawyer — a retired Harvard law professor — with the US President for one of his clients.
The pedophile elites will continue to advocate for their agenda so they can rape legally. They will continue to prey on children. They will continue to gaslight survivors. They will continue to make laws that protect themselves and ignore and dismantle laws that protect children. And they will be protected and celebrated in a system that deliberately leaves children vulnerable.
Now, this is all in the context of the abuse and rape of young girls. Do you think any of these countries give a damn about the rape of young boys? How about children who are part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community? Do you think that these countries care about children with different gender identities and queer identities when they don’t even care about cis girls? White cis girls?
It’s not surprising. Pedophilia has a long history in Europe going right back to the ancient Romans and Greeks. Their pedophile culture was spread throughout Europe by the Roman Catholic Church and later versions of Christianity. When the Europeans colonized Black and Brown countries, they exported their pedophile culture around the whole world. And while some global south countries had their own pedophile cultures (which were often protected by organized religion) there is no doubt that the white colonizers preyed on Black and brown children systematically for hundreds of years in a system of white supremacy, white patriarchy, and white colonial entitlement. That racial power dynamic and colonial predation continues to this day. The cycle of childhood trauma continues to this day. Now all countries have pedophile culture, thanks to the white colonizers.
Pedophilia is an institutionalized violence with governments all over the world protecting this system of oppression. The age of consent is just one aspect of a pedophile culture that dismisses the trauma of children and views children as objects to be exploited. That culture must be dismantled. Pedophilia must be smashed. We will never stop the cycle of violence in our communities until we confront this problem.
