The Salem witch trials were NOT based at all.
What did the Salem witch trials say about society in 17th century colonial Massachusetts?
- They didn't give a shit about due process.
- They didn't give a shit about human rights.
- They didn't give a shit about fair trials.
- They didn't give a shit about logical reasoning and the scientific process.
What do the Salem witch trials show? It's an apt example of what happens when communities disregard due process and legal rights, succumb to
mass hysteria, ideological extremism, and false accusations.
Doesn't that sound familiar to you? Doesn't the #MeToo movement ring a bill?
Incels, more than anyone else, should support and uphold important legal principles -- the presumption of innocence, the right to a fair trial, to humane conditions in custody, to protection against torture and other forms of cruel and unusual punishment. Because when our political institutions fail to uphold these principles, it's almost always poor, ugly young men who get shafted.
Sure, during the Salem witch trials, the majority of victims were femoids. But it's not about the victims; it's about precedent, about jurisprudence. And 17th century Salem sorely failed on that point.
