New York sculptor spent $100,000 to make a Charlie Kirk statue no one wants to buy

Sergio Furnari said he thought the lifesize sculpture – which no one commissioned – would raise ‘millions’ of dollars

I have a theory that certain niches of zoosadist content are political, and the viewers are using the animal as a replacement for who they actually want to hurt. It's just easier and less risky for them to access content where animals are used. This is based on an exposé a while back that involved a lot of Trump supporters paying for animal torture content, I will let you know if I find/remember the article covering it

[innerchildabortionclinic]

Found what I was thinking about

It's not just the flags in the background of this particular video distributor that made me suspect such motives, but if you read the article, the way viewers are talking about and engaging with the content. It's hateful.

post: patterns of social harm are not innately & permanently encoded into populations of people, all social relations are changeable, and therefore reducing harm requires addressing why these patterns develop and interrupting them rather than having the state systematically kill people

replies:

- agreed except for the Bad People who are innately harmful.

- yeah because sometimes innocent people get killed not just the innately bad ones

- vote blue no matter who!

you can acknowledge children are at a more vulnerable stage developmentally while still believing they deserve autonomy.

this is also how you can differentiate youth liberation from encouraging predatory behavior. yes, there's a lot of misinformation on development, such as the 'frontal lobe fully develops at 25' thing, that doesn't mean a 25 year old and a 5 year old are in the same place developmentally. I will raise an eyebrow at anyone who is very insistent that young children and adults are identical. I don't even understand how you could unironically believe this (that is, without ulterior motives) when developmental trauma exists and presents the way it does.

young children are not identical to adults, and this does not mean they deserve to be treated as a lesser form of human, if anything it means we should be more careful in how we approach their needs.

as a child who'd been like. Adultified by the adults around me for being "so mature for my age" (not speaking up when i needed/wanted anything, being smarter than my peers despite developmental issues) Yeah people DO NOT need to be fucking treating children like adults. the person that most frequently told me i was So Mature was my emotionally incestuous mom who constantly tries to use me for her own comfort/gain. its a form of grooming to talk to children like that

however, yes, children deserve the same human rights as adults. children deserve to be treated with respect, humanity, and kindness and patience. they should not be treated as on the level of a peer as an adult, but they should be treated with the same respect you would treat a peer. just because children should be treated as Their Age doesn't mean they should be dehumanized or have their autonomy stripped away

[innerchildabortionclinic]

yeah there's something to be said about how society actually praises what is often developmentally inappropriate maturity from children because it's more "obedient".

something that's always stuck with me is Adorno's critique of liberal research on fascism - that liberal scientists believe you can approach fascism in good faith by simply asking Nazis what they think about the world and then writing it down. He argued that fascism is itself a bad faith ideology, and that Nazis will not usually answer the question "do you want to exterminate all minorities?" truthfully, especially not when asked by academics (who are all Marxists/Jews/etc plotting to destroy civilization). So in order to accurately capture fascist sentiment, you have to conceal your intentions and basically lie to them. And there are real moral imperatives for social scientists to do this, in the same way that journalists go undercover in white supremacist groups to report on their activities and beliefs. There's even that famous East German documentary where the directors lied to a Nazi military leader about being West German filmmakers, got him drunk, and then just filmed him saying Nazi shit lol. So like the conventions of science itself, the idea that good research is necessarily always transparent, is a political assumption that shapes how you conduct research and acquire knowledge
