Those that are in power could just legalize it and there would be nothing we could do. They don't seem to care about the will of the people any other time.

I think doing the most depraved heinous illegal shit is part of the appeal for them. It really drives home that they are above the law.

If they would legalize it, the same could be done to their children and then they will not find it so funny anymore.

Exactly. Remember they’re pushing for age verification and/or shutting down porn sites. Their fetish is power

The way i imagine it, if they legalized it, most people would complain a lot.

So they want things to stay peaceful (or the illusion thereof) without making much noise. So they do it in secret. Does that make sense?

The problem is that their enforcers have no humanity (never have, they're literally the cultural descendants of the slave patrols, lol), their supportive communities maybe a tiny bit more but not by much, and those two groups constitute a plurality, if not a majority, of the US.

"We've" been telling everyone about this for years, while the rest of the world suffered America, its Western European vassals and Israel. But with the rise of multipolarity/multinodality, it's just more feasible and financially convenient for the American ruling classes to pillage, rob and subdue at home.
