…and it was all a dream.

Is noone else gonna point out the absurdity that if the guy had been 1 year older, legally speaking there would’ve been nothing wrong?

The problem here is the grooming (which I think it’s worth noting that adults can be victims of as well), the abuse of power dynamics, and particularly in this case the exploitation of another’s inexperience for personal gratification.

But the article instead focuses on how the kid was “affected” by the teacher’s “criminal actions”, but then essentially just describes the kinds of consequences caused by the social stigma of student-teacher relationships. But this also happens in university, where it also carries negative social consequences, but not legal ones.

My point is simply that the legal system is a flimsy caricature of morality/ethics, and in articles like these it really shows.

Lol sorry I shoulda specified where it was

*isn’t :)

Capitalism, etc.

I was kinda on the opposite end of the spectrum lol. I remained steadfast in engaging with the Santa Claus mythos until a pretty late age despite my parents staight up telling me they were the ones getting me presents, and despite knowing that all evidence pointed to them telling the truth, lol.

Everything is political. “Apolitics” is apathy, which accepts the status quo, which is a political position.

Well, agreed, but you can’t reform greed out of capitalism.

Nordic models are a mix of social democracy and corporatism. Definitely not free and definitely not the answer.

Contrapoints and Andrewism immediately come to mind. Might add more in an edit.
