I appreciate the thoughtful commentary. As opposed to individualized acts of grooming, I see the mass consumed conditioning perhaps more meaningful as it shifts the entire culture towards debauchery and permissiveness. I believe these changes are only recognizable through the lens of time accompanied with the preservation of historical and cultural references. There are good reasons that accurate history is being destroy or actively corrupted. I still contend that grooming involves many actions and many of those fall under the aegis of education (at least in contemporary society), artistic expression, and amusement. These labels act as cover and serves to disarm an otherwise attentive parent or guardian. Soft sell can involve people simply reading about relations between adults and children. It is a process, like watching porn. The real impact occurs in the subconscious mind. Images and ideas are like seeds planted in the mind which sprout and grow into other things. There's a lot more than adults trying to have sex with children goin on here. We are experiencing the destruction of culture, nation, and dare I say, empire. Empires have been destroyed many times before, and the process seems far too formulaic to be coincidence.
