Re: this is devastating

"A life without boys is certainly possible" My interest in the charms of boys is these days entirely a matter of boys on film or in books. I never had the honour of being a guest of Her Majesty, and, as it happens, I am more virtuous than the most virtuous virped. The difference is that I don't think this makes me virtuous at all - just prudent. I suppose I find it easier than some to adjust my goals in life to external facts over which I have no control. I find it easy to fill my life with activities that have a great deal of meaning to me. Indeed, I simply do not have the time to pursue everything that I want to pursue. Fragment: "He's one reason I've continued to fight so hard over the last year. How many more MAPs do we need to lose to suicide and prison before we start to care? I mean REALLY care. Care enough that our rage overcomes our concern for our own safety (within reason)." "It's possible that we were a bad influence on each other, encouraging each others' recklessness." I'm a great believer in personal safety. In a non-totalitarian state, it is possible to peacefully protest. But for us, all Anglosphere states are totalitarian. The police can obtain a warrant to search one's home on the slightest pretext, and to "out" oneself publicly as a pederast, even a non-practicing one, is to invite the police into one's home, with the inevitable damning discoveries and loss of liberty. No "message" we might wish to convey can get past the brick wall of a media that will filter information so as to conform to the hegemonic narrative. Until someone convinces me that the path of MAP identity politics in an Anglosphere context has the slightest chance of success within a reasonable time frame (by which I mean before I'm dead), I do not intend to fling myself, lemming-like, off a cliff, sacrificing the whole of my liberty just to make a gesture. What use would I be to either myself or others by taking this path? If that attitude makes me uncaring, then so be it.
