Another Brick In The Performative Fatherhood Wall: Riley Carter

Sad case out of Aberdeen, Washington.

Riley Carter was actually a City Councilman up in Aberdeen, Washington. His big shtick online was wearing a red, MAGA-ish hat that said “Make Pedophiles Afraid Again” and doing TikTok and IG videos where he showed all the sex offenders in different sections of the community. This guy reminded me a lot of a guy I used to work out with sometimes, who also lived for a bit in Washington State (generally pretty liberal in the urban areas), but railed against liberalism all the time. I actually think the guy I know got kicked out of King County during COVID for his behavior. This guy here, Riley Carter, is probably worse.

As we know, typically a woman who rails against abortions at every turn has had a few herself, and guys that call others “cucks” and “bitches” for stuff like ED usually can’t get it up themselves. You become obsessed with a thing that you have nightmares about, and try to make it your enemy. I do this with plenty of things too, including infertility.

As such, you could probably predict that a “pedophile hunter” politician is probably a pedo himself, and that turns out to be true.

I write about a lot of different topics, from work to masculinity to relationships and social dynamics, I.e. modern friendship. Pleasure to be here.
