Nathan Larson, a 37-year-old accountant from Charlottesville, Virginia, is running for Congress as an independent candidate in his native state. He is also a pedophile, as he admitted to HuffPost on Thursday, who has bragged in website posts about raping his late ex-wife.
In a phone call, Larson confirmed that he created the now-defunct websites suiped.org and incelocalypse.today ― chat rooms that served as gathering places for pedophiles and violence-minded misogynists like himself. HuffPost contacted Larson after confirming that his campaign website shared an IP address with these forums, among others. His sites were terminated by their domain host
...
When asked whether hes a pedophile or just writes about pedophilia, he said, Its a mix of both. When people go over the top theres a grain of truth to what they say.
...
According to Larsons campaign manifesto, his platform as a quasi-neoreactionary libertarian candidate includes protecting gun ownership rights, establishing free trade and protecting benevolent white supremacy, as well as legalizing incestuous marriage and child pornography

Neither of those made it to the top 100 wants on the (R) Xmas list that decade.
"If not (D) then (R)" excludes a lot of folk. False dichotomy is a fallacy.

"In the manifesto, Larson called Nazi leader Adolf Hitler a white supremacist hero. He urged Congress to repeal the Violence Against Women Act, adding, We need to switch to a system that classifies women as property, initially of their fathers and later of their husbands. He also showed sympathy for men who identify as involuntary celibates, or incels, suggesting it is unfair that they are forced to pay taxes for schools, welfare, and other support for other mens children.

(81,570 posts)Larson, 36, says his candidacy is rooted in a genuine desire to bring positive changes to Virginia. He called a letter he sent to the Secret Service in 2008 that warned of his imminent plans to assassinate either President George W. Bush or President Barack Obama an act of civil disobedience meant to call attention to what he believes is the tyranny of the U.S. government.
It doesnt allow people to secede or do anything like that, Larson said. If people want to break away from the majority, theyre not allowed to do that.
His platform includes legalizing child pornography as well as incestuous marriage; allowing men to have multiple wives and physically discipline them; repealing the 19th Amendment; and abolishing state funding for girls and women to attend high school and college.

(33,643 posts)Personally I don't give a crap about 'incestuous marriage' as long as the people involved are adults, for the record.
Is this guy actually running on a position of legalizing MAKING kiddie porn? Buying and/or selling it?
That's pretty unbelievably extreme, if so.
I could see maybe saying if you and you wife started having sex at a young age, and you two have pics or movies of it in your possession, you shouldn't be in jeopardy of going to jail for it, but beyond that type of scenario ... seems a really tough sell, election-wise. As it should be.
And how many times has that sort of thing even happened?

(33,643 posts)However, the perception of the risk is overestimated by many, and only parent/child and sibling relations ... really raise risks significantly ... and very few want to marry their parent or blood-sibling.
Not to mention, you don't have to have kids.
You also could be old enough for one or both to be sterile , or for one or the other to be sterile by other means (some states allow incestuous marriage in such cases, in fact).
Rates of defect caused by consanguineous relations are also lower in societies with a very low level of society-wide consanguinity (such as in the US, where it's never 'been a thing', and that is very unlikely to change, even if laws changed). IOW, if you marry your cousin, you're likely to be the first one in your family who's done so ... in the USA.
It's really repeated generations of inbreeding that tends to raise risks of problems, not a single isolated generation, iow.
I kinda feel like if we're not going to make it outright illegal to smoke and drink during pregnancy ... we really aren't THAT serious as a society about preventing birth defects.
I also think a reasonable case can be made that it's really 'not the governments business'. Though I can also see one made to the contrary as well.
Interesting article on the subject ... about 1B people in the world live in societies where it's common to marry cousins and even (yuckier) nieces/nephews ...

(8,311 posts)Many states, including mine, still have an "except your spouse" in their statutory language forbidding statutory rape.
We still allow minors to marry with parental consent, and even if one party is barely 18 when they do marry, they could have been abused by that relative prior to that.
We need to really fix our laws regarding the abuse of minors, and marriage of minors to people who would otherwise be rapists if they weren't married before the sex, before we strike down barriers to incestuous legal marriage.
Then, if two cousins who grew up together and are truly in love want to get married when they both turn 18. it can be up to them to decide how they'll deal with the potential for recessive genes being an issue. But we won't be legalizing a father consenting for his brother to marry his 14 year old daughter because there was abusive incest and they don't want to abort the child and feel "wedlock" is more important than the 14 year old getting raped by her uncle.

(33,643 posts)Also, pretty sure an ex-post-facto marriage to your 14 y.o. pregnant niece isn't going to get you out of deep shit, at least not outside of East Bumfuck where Sheriff Billy Bob and Judge Roy are the Uncle's relatives.
Just sayin ... the laws are already there. You have to ALREADY BE married is how that particular 'statutory' exemption works.
