Your mom is unfortunately mentally ill. Whether from upbringing or from organic damage to the brain... who knows. There's really not much you can do about it - parents especially are highly unlikely to listen to advice or anything from their children. Try to remove yourself from your mother as far as possible. Minimal communication, minimal contact.

It has sadly become consensus to try and distance oneself by being part of the pitchfork mob. And I haven't found an age mentioned in the article - e.g. the age of consent in Germany is 16 IIRC, in which case the legal problem is when the older person has a position of authority / responsibility, not the actual age. And - age of consent or not - a relationship with a big age difference among adults is also creepy.

Anyways, I remember my thoughts as a teenage boy and I would definitely - even in hindsight decades later now - have fantasized about this ^^ Even though I would have probably chickened out g

Almost everyone who has been a teenage boy knows the fantasies of teenage boys. Yes, there's good reasons this is considered criminal conduct, and teenagers at that age can't legally consent for the same reasons, but in a consensual scenario, such an experience does not have to cause any kind of trauma or harm.

PS: The teenage boy in me thinks "nicceeeee". Pardon.

As much as they have done horrendous shit, I don't believe for one second that this letter is real / authored by said monster. No one will spend their last words focusing one some narcissistic fuckwit. Especially not another narcissist / psychopath.

Yes, it denies their culpability. Yet it still is the way I choose to see the world. I firmly believe that the process in which people become psychopaths like that involves a sort of brain damage that enables you to perform such truly evil acts. A normal person would feel empathy for a victim and could not possibly cause such suffering.

These people are not normal, and the worst punishment they could suffer is to be taught an empathetic understanding of the suffering they have caused. Likely most are too far gone for that, so keeping them locked away for the rest of their existence seems to be the second best option. Not as punishment, but as a means to protect society.

Undoubtedly much worse has been done, but I only have vocabularly to describe the worst of all, the Holocaust. I am honestly missing words for the in- between evil, because calling these acts "monstrous" is unfair to monsters.

I seem to recall that previously, US war crimes had been committed almost entirely within the context of a war. Now they murder random civilians in international waters to distract from a government full of child rapists and murderers.

As a German, and one that uses the word Nazi too much already, I have to remark that the atrocities committes by the "OG" Nazis were so much worse in sheer numbers at least. The term death camps might as well have been death factories, because that is how the mass murders were organized. That level of evil was most likely only matched by Kissinger, may he forever rot in hell.

We need to invent new words to describe this level of evil. Every single person in that chain of command should be in a mental asylum and be treated for their psychopathic disorders.

I had a traumatic brain injury so I can't work.

Well, I can't condemn you, I have only partially made the move myself for lack of options :(

The meme photo is the most "my type" photo I could find, unfortunately, so I fear I don't have a new "ship" :/
