No hablo inglés.
Es tut mir leid, ich spreche kein Englisch.
Je ne parle pas anglais.

Like many of his contemporaries, Kentler came to believe that sexual repression was key to understanding the Fascist consciousness.
Hm...
I'm surprised no one... took this to court? I'm sure this would have been against laws even back then

Kentler believed pedophiles could make acceptable foster parents, and that any sexual contact would be relatively harmless if it were not forced.
How's that for a nuanced take
I remember when I first swapped to Lemmy nuanced discussions were numerous, been seeing a lot of relatively new accounts stirring up shit and doing the classic "I'm gonna make them look so stupid huehuehue"
You're right though, despite the fact there are a lot of sociopaths and psychopaths in government positions, there are a lot of social workers and general day to day folks that are normal or go above and beyond to try and help their community with what little power they have.
