Honestly, it has been the whole moralization of basic human desires for pleasure and comfort that have screwed up our civilization’s moral compass broadly.

Hunter Biden never hurt anyone and just did what probably a majority of every elected politician and wealthy inheritor does every goddamn weekend at the very least, he just got famous because the right tried to use it to create a moral outrage against their opponents.

Imagine a world where we treated sex as an amoral adult activity like playing sports or getting a massage, and we treated drug addiction like a medical problem akin to any chronic health condition that needs help and treatment. Hunter wouldn’t have made the radar.
