And what happens when mistakes are made? They are defended by the tyrannical government.
It's like, "Yeah we falsely execute 10% of people, we don't apologize to their families or anything, but it's okay- many more people get what they deserve"
What? If I read news(not often) it's usually, AP, Reuters, Reason, or something from Yahoo news.
Maybe it's just that those are the most widely published cases of abuse so it's easy when you're looking for examples? But yeah personal attacks are good too.
They've already arrested people for making jokes, arrested a kid for insulting an Olympian, and arrested someone for tweeting "the only good soldier is a dead soldier". The UK government continues to be tyrannical and unethical.

Trapping people in terrible jobs sucks. Especially when it's considered the legal standard and your contract has to state it's at will(which might be illegal in some places)
Having a culture where people aren’t safe to seek medical or therapeutic support to get help with dealing with their psychiatric or mental issues isn’t helpful.
Having a culture where it is not discouraged is worse.
It seems like it would be better for people to be open and admit they’re attracted to minors and get help with it rather than keeping it a secret.
It is not told to me out of "seeking to recover" intent... It is out of either seeking others into it, or hoping I was minor.
unless you think that a person having a couple completely innocent nude photos of their kids means they’re a pedophile.
Nah usually not, but sometimes they are. I was just talking more generally.
I felt basically unable to speak to anyone about it because of all the stigma around it.
That sucks, but the stigma I'm advocating is directed at the perpetrators, not the victims.
Um, I think its kinda justified given the number of blatant and open pedos I've encountered in Europe. (And I have no clue why they feel the need to talk to me about it.) Something I've never encountered in the US. Not saying pedos don't exist in the US, but at least the US culture is such that they're more quiet about.
I would say its better to take credit for what you have done, rather than collectivize everything. If a politician happened to win an election and start a war in Iraq for example- do you say "we invaded Iraq and killed innocent civilians"? Should you be held responsible for that? If you're a nurse and you save the life of someone who goes on to murder 10 people- did "we murder 10 people"? No. I believe you are only responsible for what you directly did.
