A lot of people also use pedophiles as a basis for their nefarious plans. "Protect the children" is a rallying cry of the alt right, despite how many child rapists exist in the cult.

For sure but there are legit cultural things too that are affected. Say you walk by a playground and a kid falls off a tree or something and hurts himself, you can't see the kids parents anywhere and consoling him would risk you being perceived as a pervert. For consoling a kid that hurt itself. Like jesus what the fuck

What really? Where do you live? Here in Germany you can get in legal trouble when you see someone in an urgent need for help and you not help.

There is actual law about this. Section 323c of the German Criminal Code https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_stgb/englisch_stgb.html#p3123

Would failing to deliver CPR be considered a violation of this law?

[–] Feyter@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I guess the correct answer to this is "it depends"...

If the situation is to stressful for you to handle than most probably not. In reality this would be think a court would need to decide on.

Ah yes, the ol' non-mandatory community hospitality.

The "alt-right" never think about the children nor have they done anything with children as an excuse. That was the rallying cry of the "Compassionate Conservatives" and the televangelists who banned video games and rap music in the 90's and also why you have to click "yes I'm 18" on many websites including lemmy. "Think of the children" is just what authoritarians use as an excuse to push their agenda whether that is ensuring the State has a monopoly on violence, or trying to ban things they don't like.

What the fuck are you talking about? They've definitely been using children as an excuse as they attack libraries. Pay attention.

[–] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That seems like normal conservative stuff to me. No need to call it the "alt-right" which in itself is a normalizing term that provides cover for the conservatives culture warriors that have existed forever.

[–] Cqrd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the alt right, the modern Conservative Party has been folded into it. There's no cover, they're fascists or they support them.

[–] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 year ago

Alt-right is a term coined by a horrible presidential candidate as she attempted to draw a false distinction between a "good conservative" and a "bad conservative." But the distinction is without a difference.
