Reading comprehension issues?
The mafia has been decimated by arrests since the 1980s, yet new members keeps arising trying to rebuild. But the trend is downward. They are being replaced by Russian organizations and Hispanics and blacks.
Instead of being reactionary and negative to everything I say, maybe try thinking about it?
"However, if it's just random people popping up perennially in our midst, then there is no viable solution "
and
"When there is a desire, want, need, craving, then some profiteer is going to provide the object of said desire, want, need, craving. "
are relevant.
There will always be humans that want a life of crime. It's exciting, tough, profitable. Therefore there will always be smarter criminals that form gangs or networks. You can send every member of a network to prison/kill them and some new group will fill the vacuum. That is human nature. If there is opportunity to be exploited, then someone with the grit and right temperament and right skill set will take it on (even if those attributes are negative/evil).
Also, instead of you just sniping from the sidelines, I'd be curious to hear what you actually think. You have taken no clear position on any of this.
My position is that the conspiracy theory that the world is run by satanic pedophiles is utter nonsense and is indeed a psi op.
I further think that pedophilia is a sickness that infests all levels of society, not just elites.
I further think that sometimes organizations, like the church, find that they have pedophilia among them and they are embarrassed and try to deal with it internally. I think that is a less than constructive approach, but understandable. How would the church know what priest is a pedophile until it is too late? How would the boy scouts know? How would voters know?
Identifying a pedophile is something that can only happen after they have abused a child. The country does have a national registration for convicted pedophiles. It's not like the problem is ignored. The legal systems presumes innocence. It's not like Alex who becomes ready to convict based on a couple of kooks' testimony and some internet rumors.
So? What do you actually think?
Why are my questions negative and reactionary? Who is saying only elites are pedophiles?
You ask: “Also, instead of you just sniping from the sidelines, I'd be curious to hear what you actually think. You have taken no clear position on any of this.”
I find exchanging my personal position with you to be not in my best interest.
