- Gay movement & HIV/AIDS
- Video games
- People who consume Fox News
- People who consume US local news

Roughly 1500 innocent individuals have been executed in the US. 100k's of innocent individuals languished slowly and likely died in US prisons.

#3A similar travesty of justice happened in Italy in the late 90s with a bunch of parents going to jail, their kids being taken away by the local child protection services, parents committing suicide from the trauma etc.
Two decades later, as part of an investigation, the kids (now adults) came out as saying that they were brainwashed, they were pressured into confessions of satanic rituals in the local cemetery, of blood sacrifices and live burials and so on.
The investigation concluded that it was ultimately a combination of a popular moral panic, a special spot-the-satanist training that the teachers received as part of their professional development, and a collusion between psychologists and orphanages trying to fill out their facilities with kids harvested from accused parents. An absolute horror show.

I think it's more about the children having radical surgery backed by zero scientific research. Couldn't care less what adults want do to themselves.

The hysteria about sex education is going on in my country as we speak. The public debate is also influenced by Russian propaganda and the church who is pushing for religion as a final exam subject. They'd rather teach kids mumbojumbo instead of basic hygene and how to not get pregnant in your teens.
