Ive met more than i would like to. Most of them when i was a child. I met other convicted pedos, knew em pretty well.
I dont know that i could identify them now as an old lady, but looking back, apmost every single one had pedo vibes; at least a few asked openly.
None of the names i recognize have ever been prosecuted. Because theyre rich.
I dont pay much attention to that, my personal experience suggests it very strongly.
uncommon
I fucking wish. It’s an epidemic. Especially in positions of authority and wealth. Not sure what that correlation implies, but it exists.
Not yo say he was good. He did some horrid shit, but he’s the one us president I’d be genuinely shocked to find was a pedophile.
Oh, so there’s only one of those?
You know that, and i know that, but many americans do not.
Oh honey, what’s any of it for?
It would be genuinely shocking if he wasnt, considering how close they were.
But yes. The kid thing was gross.
Poverty draft! Fuck yeah!
No, im not old enough to remember the Carter administration.
And that fear would be worth every street in the city smelling like piss at all times even if it didn’t enable rampant exploitation and rent seeking!
No but see they need to be punished so they still exist as an example to motivate workers and create an internal other to justify police.
Not to help them. Why would we help them? Stop trolling.
Hell yeah! high five
That is one option, yes.
But safe injection sites are a good idea even when you’re housed.
Yeah its pretty awful, im just pointing out that every dystopian shithole is dystopian in its own way.
You still live your days and rely heavily upon capitalist systems.
And i said ‘less’. To the point not every system needs to be built around it.
Exactly! Egalitarianism is genocide!
Okay, before you read this, maybe smoke up and drop your fav psychadelic before reading so you can follow me here:
Imagine a way society was organized where instead of exploiting workers as much as possible to enrich literal ghouls, we either:
didnt exploit people and everything was nicer and everybody was less stressed, and we all got to do things out of curiosity and love rather than fear and hate
OR
We all agreed to be exploited for the collective good and we were all still fucked, but we were fucked to make things better for everyone instead of better for ~3000 ghoulish billionaires
So, like, whichever one you picked; imagine if you couldnt ‘own’ stuff you weren’t using. You could, like, keep it around. Maybe you’re the only person on your block with extra space, so you put the neighborhood tool library or insulin factory in your shed, but its not ‘yours’ in the way your toothbrush or the parts of your home you dont choose to open are yours. You certainly couldn’t ‘own’ the house someone else lived in, or the toothbrush they use (i hope). And we could focus on the best ways to do stuff instead of only being able to have nice things as the fallout from scams, too!
I bet when you imagined that, the construct of ‘blame’ was less necessary, and there was no/less need to obfuscate systemic forces, so it would be much easier to take a solution focused mindset, instead of just crab bucketing each other. Right? And either way it was more egalitarian, so there was less advantage to take of one another. Right?
That’s literally just midaevil europe, but with genocide instead of payday loans.
There is no good data source. If you run by prosecutions, laws do not apply to the wealthy.
I’ve met a lot of rich assholes, and all if them acted like pedos. More than one tried to groom me.
More than not acted like pedophiles.
