Ah yes, those Poors who can't help committing sex crimes, like Harvey Weinstein and Donald Trump,
Even if we steelman this, on the basis that Empathy Is A Skillset and "we don't blame the plant for failing to grow", this is STILL a catastrophically bad take Sex crimes might change format between classes, but ultimately they're an expression of power. Every time
Revenge porn? Might be motivated by feeling a loss of power in the situation (revenge usually is), but ultimately that's a dude desperately trying to win power over a victim, whether he realises it or not Which makes it all the MORE dangerous to elect the guy
Like, in my experience this is the psychology of most bullies and abusers They feel they have no power in the situation, so they'll desperately scramble to assert whatever power they can While completely in denial of just how much power to do harm they really have
The fact that Glenn Greenwald et al are openly stoking this narrative where everyone angry and disgusted at Coleman are in the pay of the Democratic establishment and are part of a conspiracy to make sure ordinary hourly working-class guys NEVER take power is very, very, very bad
That he's handing this kid this ready-made excuse to blame anything bad that happens to him on He never has to wonder if he's the bad guy, he never has to take responsibility for causing harm "It's just the haters and the trolls They're all being paid to say it"
