The majority of people on this board I think are pretty far left closer in line with Dissident. And so it seems in general society, they just don't usually vote as much as centrists/traditionalists.

For the record I'm on the complete opposite end of the spectrum favoring almost no laws unless absolutely proven necessary. I think all new regulations/laws should have a trial of sorts with a jury of deciding whether the regulation/law is needed beyond a reasonable doubt.

I think you are also wrong on how society sees you and virped. While more open minded people will see virped generally favorably, I think society on average still dislikes pedophiles so much that even virpeds views will not be accepted. Remember you have more lenient views on both child porn and those who act on it, which is not shared at all by general society.

So I think you misread American society. They are both far more left than you think it is and far more against your views on pedophilia than you seem to think.

Also while I disagree with Dissident on almost everything and I haven't read all of yours and his posts I don't see anything he has written that would make Dissident any more deluded than you, me, or anyone else here in our general views compared to the general public.

And one more point, revolutions happen all the time and society can and does frequently change very fast.
