Because we are slaves to the petrodollar and are arrogant and stupid. We also built our country and entire way of life around cars thanks to our stupidity and the oil and auto industry insidious influence/control.

Oh yeah and racism and poverty hatred.

If you have hope for the future you probably aren’t reading any of the climate crisis science. Or you think you’re going to heaven.

Same here. Calling out the pedophile in chief is evidentially a big no no on Reddit.

Thank you for your service.

Anytime.

You seem stupid.

Make it formal. File a complaint with the police and let them investigate me for my alleged rape of you dear internet stranger and see how that goes.

There is what you are talking about and then there is the reality of the sexual assault crisis in America. I understand what you are saying. But the reality of the situation is that people who step forward should be given the benefit of the doubt because of the evidence and history of sexual violence especially towards children and women being ignored in the United States and the absolute miscarriage of justice that is. The balance as it stands now is hardly any of rape or sexual misconduct allegations are taken seriously or even investigated.

Just look at our president and his history with abusing minors and adults basically all out in the open for decades. That is the state of justice with regards to sexual assault in the U.S.

There is not an epidemic of people losing their jobs or becoming social pariahs because of false rape claims. There is an epidemic of sexual violence against children and women and men in the United States. No one is convicted because someone just claims they have been assaulted.

I get what you’re saying but you are on the wrong side of this m. Rape cases in America are systematic dismissed buried lost corrupted or flat out ignored. It’s a serious epidemic and the amount of lives ruined by false accusations pales in comparison to the amount of victims that come forward and the amount of those who are too afraid to come forward.

Also you can always appeal your case. Victims have no recourse and now voice the majority of a time. It’s not even close to comparable. It’s almost like voter fraud with the amount of cases where someone has lied about being raped.
