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.
We don't have to ask that at all, it's pretty obvious actually.
I guess I wish more public figures would ask that.
Right there with ya buddy....
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.
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.
I have a question for my Canadian sisters, brothers, and others.
How much of this shit is actually organic to Canadian culture, and how much creeps in because the assholes there see what the assholes in the US are exploiting and decide to give it a try there?
Feels like a lot of culture creep. Some of these wing nuts talk about the first amendment as if we have that here. Some of them also seem to think that our Prime Minister has presidential powers. I think the “fuck Trudeau” flags are a rip off of the “fuck Biden” flags too.
Yeah, when the convoy crew ended up in court, they kept talking about their 'amendment rights', and the judges had to ask what they were talking about. These people are so dense that black holes are jealous. It's more proof that they're being purposely misled and manipulated in order to sow anger, disharmony, and fight against ourselves instead of the real sources of our problems.
They're just really concerned about the formation of Manitoba from the Northwest Territories.
Honestly, that's distinction without difference.
There are people living here who believe this shit - it doesn't really matter where they got it.
I was literally just going to make a joke about that.
I'm from the US, we have much better things to copy than our absolutely shit garbage politics... like BBQ ribs. Copy those, don't copy our garbage propaganda lol
Canada has just as many hills for billies to hide under.
Australian here. We got the same shit going down here and it's very much not organic to our culture. We're having a referendum this year for our first nations people to be recognised in our constitution. I shit you not the campaign against this is being funded directly by the same bad actors behind the culture wars bullshit in the US.
I don't like where any of this is going. It was very very bad last time.
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
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...
I think you mean short bus. Or the front. The back was where the cool kids sat.
This is part of the "base" that Squinty McProudBoy has assembled. If you love trump and hate women then PP and his base of assholes are your people.
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)
Oh man, now we need to get signs that say "Kissin' Cousins Convoy!".
My sister-mother is my lover.
Go do a search for "youth pastor crimes". Prepare to be very upset. You will find pages of sexual abuse crimes against children.
Fucking nutters.
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?
Followed shortly afterwards by a fervent speech against clean drinking water.
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.
