That's why I said we should make it illegal to *produce* pornography.

Obviously we're talking on Nostr, so criminalizing possession or viewing would be futile when there is truly decentralized media.

Make it illegal to produce and distribute, though, and you can prosecute the people who are carrying out the abuse and profiting from it. I think that strikes a balance between holding abusers responsible and avoiding limitations of free speech.

it can't work.

stop appealing to authority.

the problem is the people are zombies obeying their tv and that's that. tv says porn good.

first, this approach to social malaise is doomed to fail

second, those who control the system and the laws want this corruption in the culture

third, take care of your children.

there is no other point to make.

there would be no production of pornography if there was no sexual abuse victims in the first place. this disease runs deep and those who run the society are the abusers, and profit from and depend on the psychological disorder caused by sexual trauma.

I agree with you that legislation alone won't fix social malaise. The first task is to change the hearts and minds of individuals.

Where we disagree, I think, is that I believe legislation can be part of a larger movement of cultural change. The law is a teacher. An imperfect one, yes, but still a teacher.

The primary responsibility lies with parents to form their children in virtue, but I think well-ordered laws can give us a little extra nudge away from vice at times when we need it.

yes, i am steadfastly against any collaboration with the corruption itself, government, in any way whatsoever.

government is just a bunch of lazy pigs painting pictures to pretend they are something they are not and get paid for what other people actually do and then act all indignant when their idiot programs end up achieving the opposite. just look up "cobra effect" for an example of the perverse incentives that government creates.

any solution that imposes things on other people is doomed to fail.

no amount of voting ever changes the nature of the government, as an organisation of freeloaders who have god complexes.
