There are no more restrictions in the “fight against the right”: now those who speak out against paedophilia are defamed as “right-wing extremists”. You really can’t make this up any more. So the logical conclusion is: paedophilia is naturally left-wing?
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), around 1 in 5 women and 1 in 13 men worldwide have experienced sexual abuse before the age of 18, a significant proportion of which can be attributed to paedophile perpetrators. It is estimated that millions of children are affected by paedophile acts every year, with UNICEF documenting over 120 million cases of sexual violence for girls under the age of 20 alone, many of which are linked to paedophilia.
Since the state is not in a position to take effective action against paedophile crime, a practice known as ‘pedo-hunting’ has become established. This involves people deliberately trying to track down, expose or confront suspected paedophiles. They often use social media or dating platforms, for example by posing as minors with fake profiles, to make contact with paedophiles. As soon as suspicious behaviour is detected – such as offensive messages – this is documented and tracked. This method was originally developed by citizens’ initiatives that wanted to prevent child abuse, for example by groups such as “Creep Catchers” in Canada or similar groups in the UK, where child abuse on a gigantic scale, committed by migrants, was covered up by the state for years.
The legitimate and urgently needed fight against paedophilia is now being used in the ‘fight against the political right’ and framed as a ‘new hobby of right-wing extremists’. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution is obviously currently playing this perfidious game. It sees a new ‘trend among right-wing extremists’. “They are increasingly focusing on the topic of paedophiles as a form of action.
The public broadcaster news programme Tagesschau reports on this. It reinterprets the topic of “paedo-hunting” as an alleged tool of “right-wing propaganda”, both in an uncritical and false way.
The real danger posed by paedophiles is skilfully neglected in order to construct an alleged political instrumentalisation of the ‘right’. The spin goes like this: The Office for the Protection of the Constitution observes that right-wing extremists also attract non-political, violent young people with such actions by building up paedophilia as an enemy image. For example, the State Office of Criminal Investigation in Schleswig-Holstein investigated a group that used social media to establish contacts in order to attack people who they accused of having paedophile tendencies – including queer people who were falsely placed in this context.
Instead of clearly stating the seriousness of paedophilia and differentiating it from the actions of some extremists, the impression is skilfully created that the issue only appears relevant at all due to right-wing agitation. This framing plays down the actual threat of child abuse and presents it as a mere projection surface for radicals. The Tagesschau programme’s avoidable reporting implies that the publicity is primarily due to right-wing hysteria. The logical conclusion is: paedophilia is therefore naturally left-wing – thanks to Tagesschau!
What remains completely unmentioned, however, is that there are currently maximum efforts to protect these offender groups by the state. The plan to enshrine the protection of ‘sexual identity’ in the Basic Law has been intensified, particularly under the coalition government. This logically includes sexual abnormalities such as paedophiles or zoophiles. In Schleswig-Holstein, Christian Democratic Union (CDU) Minister President Daniel Günther is fighting for precisely this and is actively pushing for constitutional reform. Together with the Greens, the CDU state government is calling for ‘sexual identity’ to be included in the constitution. The opposition parties FDP, SPD and SSW also support similar motions.
