    With every instance like this, it grows both hilarious and tragic that right wing figures of the like will inevitably, at some point, happen themselves upon a bit of CP on their hard drive

    By all means of logic no political group, let alone a political direction, should be this consistent with their ability to be pedophiles, but here we are

      Scumbags gravitate to radical politics because radicalized people are the biggest marks. Just be famous say a few slogans and you have them willing to defend whatever scummy shit you do.

      That’s because right isn’t really a political direction, it’s just a selfish opinion. If society operated the way the right actually want it to operate everything would collapse within about 5 years.

      Their entire philosophy relies on their being an out group that they can punch down. It’s either immigrants, or people living on the streets, or ethnic minorities. It’s all about how they can hurt people. Never help them.

      So of course they are going to attract the psychopaths.

      “Senator, you’re a pedophile.”

      “Well, maybe you are all pedophiles, too!”

      Right wing politics in general tends to go hand in hand with misogyny, sexism, and generally treating people as things. Whenever you talk to them they always say it’s a few bad apples, but it seems to be like a third of the barrel.

      Of course it’s even worse with the GOP because they are now actively misogynistic rather than just trying to hide it beneath the surface which is what the right of done in the past. To various levels of success.

      Well Tate isn’t the best president in the Universe! They all say so. Some say even better. It used to be the best president in the Universe, it’s probably up to multiverse now. Some say it’s multiverse. They came up to me and they say, Mr. Best President in the Universe, how do you do it? I say I don’t know, I don’t know. That’s what they say.

    He’s the kind of guy you just wonder when he’ll get sent up on some kind of sex offender charge, not if.

    Pedophiles and abusers. Conservatives have been investing a lot of money so that pedophiles and abusers are the role models of young men as part of their manufactured culture war. When Javier Milei took power in argentina he already had a network of influencers behind him spewing the values of his presidency: anti LGBT sentiment, scorn for women and feminism, racist rethoric and the openly abusive machinations of free market capitalism. The ideology came first. The looting of argentina followed.

    This has been going on for a while in the US and it has the potential to get way worse. Because this is the official discourse now and children and young men are taking the examples of these adults and reproducing them in equally disfunctional lives.

    Why are we surprised that things are going to shit? People say we are living in the ideocracy, but i think the state if things is way worse. They want to create a society of savages and march us down to self destruct along with their failing system.

    This puts the US admin in a weird spot. This guy is charged with possessing CA images. Will the USA protect him or hand him over?

    It kinda sets a precedence in a way on if pedos are protected or not. We all know the reality but in such a high profile situation like this where there is a charge and he is not politician what will they do?

    IMO, Given he is partially African American and generally operated out of the UK, they will hand him over, but that sends the very clear message pedos are to be punished.

    Interesting position that’s occurring here (I suspect by design of the UK) . The USA protects its pedophiles, however verbalizing protection of a non white not fully American pedophile is a possible stretch.
