There are still, shockingly, a number of American MAPs who continue to speak proudly of the country in which they happened to be born. They parrot tired old phrases about liberty and justice, as if these ideals had ever been intended for 'people' like them. Why? It could be a habit instilled via endless salutes and anthems at school. It could be pure fear, the imagining of a greater evil beyond its borders. It could be a desperate clinging to faint shreds of hope, like an abused dog that salivates at the feet of its evil master, whimpering in terror while deluding itself with the belief that
just maybe it will one day get a pat on the head. But whatever the reason, this patriotism amounts to the same thing: the inexplicable, delusional support of one's own persecution.
Even America's extreme laws, with their utterly insane sentences, fail to truly illustrate the full extent of the madness to which MAPs are subjected. And while the British may have laid the groundwork in 1885 when they raised the age of consent and exported their puritanical model across the empire, it was the United States that took those new ideas and expanded and
truly globalized them, creating the absolute hellscape under which we are all now brutalized, both in America and increasingly across the rest of the world.
It was the 1980s that marked the beginning of the full-scale moral panic in the US. The since disproven Satanic Panic led to a modern witch hunt, featuring crazed articles in the press and a brand new folk devil for the masses. America's fledgling psychology industry quickly exploited this new wave of hysteria, rapidly churning out a library of junk research on 'Child Sexual Abuse' that made no attempt to distinguish inherent harm from the much more common
secondary harm caused by the puritan-derived aversion to consensual AMSC. The NAMBLA revolutionaries, rather than being taken seriously in what was otherwise a period of sexual revolution both in America and in Europe, were condemned as grotesque monsters who sought to inflict horrific harm on children. And thus, a new narrative of the villainous and soul-destroying pedophile was born, to be exported across the world along with the rest of America's vile cancer.
America has not yet criminalized mere attraction to minors, but that's likely only because the powers that be haven’t yet found a constitutionally acceptable excuse to do so. If the law could criminalize a MAP's inner life, their feelings, or their self-awareness, it probably would. The public would cheer it on, the liberal-minded all the while waving their rainbow and BLM flags and patting themselves on the back for being 'tolerant'. And given the extent to which the latest administration has violated the constitution unhindered, all it will take is a similarly-minded dictator - one who isn't a likely MAP himself - to actually go through with the arrest and incarceration of anyone who could be identified as being attracted to minors.
Even though admitting that you are a MAP is not
yet illegal, and not
yet a reason for abduction by the anti-pedo version of ICE, it is often considered cause for intervention without any credible accusation of wrongdoing. Merely disclosing your identity, or being suspected, is enough for someone to decide that a report must be filed, whether to a boss, a school, a therapist, a platform, or the police. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never hurt nobody and never committed an actual crime. Simply existing is seen as an act of evil, a moral aberration, a thing that needs to be killed or silenced.
Some MAPs, in a desperate attempt to salvage any slight semblance of connection to a society that seeks their brutal evisceration, try to cope with this oppression by aligning themselves with the very boots that stomp on them. A kind of Stockholm Syndrome, essentially. They tell themselves that if they stay quiet and follow the rules, or better yet talk about how they would never act on their feelings because that would be the absolute worst thing in the world, they might be allowed to squander a pitiful existence of loneliness and misery. And still, even with such monkish levels of sacrifice, it needs only the slightest suspicion, accusation, or possession of a questionably posed picture of a swimsuit model, for that life to come irreparably crashing down.
Some American MAPs defend 'their' country on the basis that other countries are the same or even worse, but that excuse doesn’t hold up despite their nation's best attempts at exporting its signature hysterical terror. The USA is not just another repressive country; it is the architect of MAP oppression and incarceration, crushing those within its own borders and acting as the most fanatical sponsor of similar policies worldwide. Being the brutish globalizing bully that it is, America remains less than content with any country unwilling to treat MAPs in the harshest possible manner. Through treaties, intelligence-sharing, trade deals, and diplomatic pressure, the US does everything it can to push foreign governments into adopting American laws, definitions, and punishments. It uses its dominance in tech, finance, and foreign aid to demand alignment. Countries that once had milder and more realistic approaches have been shamed, threatened, or paid into submission. The world is being manipulated into a mini America, under pressure, surveillance, and threats.
Nonetheless, the US remains the worst of the worst. In numerous developed European nations, the age of consent is set at 14 or 15, and legal frameworks such as that of Germany acknowledge adolescent agency in ways US courts could never imagine. Sentencing in virtually every country other than America is dramatically different, too. Penalties for non-contact offenses are much shorter, and alternatives to incarceration are routine. Life sentences for possession of images, many of which were pirated after being produced many years ago, is a uniquely and disgustingly American concept. Even the United Kingdom, arguably the birthplace of modern puritanism and now deeply hostile to MAPs in public rhetoric, almost never imposes long prison sentences for mere possession of criminalized images. When prison is involved, countries like Norway and Sweden maintain humane facilities for everyone, as opposed to the horrendous for-profit monstrosities operated by the US.
If you're an American MAP and continue to support 'your' country, take a step back. Don't grovel for love from your abuser. Don't support a nation that has funded and exported the most horrific forms of child abuse while throwing people like you in prison for looking at naughty images. Instead of feeling the urge to cheer for an institution that doesn't want you, out of a desperate and frankly pathetic desire to be a part of it, have the strength to stand up and speak the truth:
"Fuck America. The world would be better off without it."
