So this guy is trying to legitimize Epsteins pedophilia? I wonder what it costs to bribe someone to say that? Probably disappointingly little.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

I guarantee you this guy's browser history being made public would put him in prison.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago

Correct, you are not being provocative. You are just spouting pedophile nonsense.

[–] grepe@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

greta is 23. alexander the great concquered persia by that age.

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

I think this is an older thing, but either way, gross.

[–] TheStaffmaster@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I can sort of see the logic at play here. It's shaky, mind, and full of holes, but he almost had a coherent thought.

It's False Equivalency, I'm fully aware, so I get that he's wrong, just that I can understand why he might think that.

[–] BeUnique@lemmy.zip 160 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"Not even being provocative"... Proceeds to justify being a pedo.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 22 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I mean, I don't care enough to look it up, but this is pretty realistic regarding the US conservative view so I believe it.

[–] dalekcaan@feddit.nl 9 points 1 week ago

Nuh uh, he said he's not even being provocative, so it can't be bait!

[–] SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Poe's Law. If this counts as bait we live in a world we should be setting fire to.

To be fair that's what we're doing

That was Greta's ENTIRE POINT THOUGH! That the younger generation shouldn't need to be the ones to come up with the policies to fix the shit the older generations did!

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 130 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It wasn't sex, it was rape.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago

Hey, wait a second... They weren't paid at all!

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 1 week ago

Yeah...not even paid...

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 96 points 1 week ago (3 children)

This guy apparently can't tell the difference between a 23 year old and a 16 year old. Sounds about right.

[–] Mok98@feddit.it 69 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Since the post is quite moldy I think greta thunberg was 16 at the time of writing. I hope this pedo apologist has changed his ways by now, or gone to hell.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Damn was Epstein already so well known back then?

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 73 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Epstein died in prison awaiting trial in 2019. Greta was 16 at that time.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 43 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Damn it's been a long couple months since then!

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Lol, I feel the same way. Its like Joe Biden was just a blip and Trump has been here all along for over a decade. Maybe trump should have won in 2020 and things would be back to normal by now. Just an observation bit probably a dumb one.

[–] Bluescluestoothpaste@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Us is on a clear path to totalitarian rule and eventual civil war/revolution. Worst case scenario we start WW3 and the rest of the world has to invade us.

So another conservative proudly boasting about rape being a core conservative value.

That dude is one of those conservatives that doesn’t fuck kids for the sole reason that it’s illegal. These people shouldn’t be allowed to exist.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's cute that you think he doesn't fuck kids.

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

A different read gives you "he didn't fuck kids for the sole reason that it's illegal".....he had plenty other reasons for fucking the kids and illegality was only one of them.

How are those two things even remotely related‽

I lived with a Republican for almost 30 years and still their "logic" baffles me.

He was a god damn sex trafficker. Even the adult women were forced, let alone the girls. In no world does.l that dbag's arguement make sense

"There are two things that I care about: being able to virtue-signal that I support oligarchs, and being able to force others to do whatever I want in the bedroom. Since those two things are what I want, clearly they're related."

[–] foggianism@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

naive to think that Epstein was paying the kids

[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I hate that those bullies we all grew up with are the ones in power, not just politically and economically, but also culturally. It makes me sick to my stomach that evil has taken over.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 8 points 1 week ago

Has taken over?

Has always been in power. Ever since there was such a thing as power. Centralized power attracts and fosters evil. Always has, always will.

The only way to mitigate it is to decentralize power as much as possible.

[–] A404@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

You (generally) do not gain positions of power by being good person. There is a reason why most politicians come from a wealthy background.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Check that guy's hard drive.

[–] BlindPenguin@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Forget the hard drive, just drop that sucker in some well

[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I feel so safe for kids surrounded by good conservative Christians with high morale values thanks to their faith as opposed to fellow atheists who have nothing to stop them from abusing, raping and killing children!

They signal almost day they signal how much their faith make them better people!

PS: Before the shitstorm, of course I don't assume Christians are bad people by default. It's just the ones who talk the most about how they have values and anyone who's not them doesn't seem to also be the ones who have the least.

[–] cunnililgus@sopuli.xyz 10 points 6 days ago (2 children)

If you dont have a god, what stops you from fucking roadkill?

And per new interpretation of god's will, we are to fuck heretic roadkill.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Thank you for this. It’s a very concise way to point out both the answer to the real question, and how fucked up the asker is showing themselves to be.

[–] Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Hey, I was planning to eat that. I have no religion, so whats going to stop me.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago

You can eat it when I'm done with it, now stand back.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

That persons computer needs to be checked for sure

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 week ago

Damn this tweet must sound really smart to a complete fucking idiot.

[–] shutz@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Because so-called adults like Netanyahu, Putin and Trump are themselves showing the necessary maturity to set global policy...

[–] canniest_tod@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

"Not even being provocative..."

proceeds to throw gallons of fresh, bloody chum

Twitter people love posting incoherent slop, dick in hand. I really hate that so many platforms are based on the hot take model. I try to justify it by saying another probable model might be worse, but it's not working.

[–] volore@scribe.disroot.org 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

this has gotta be bait, this is fractally stupid.
