What pointless masturbatory nonsense.
I'm old enough to remember when you said you were leaving this thread
I know. I really should. But it is so much fun.
Hey, remind me. How many pedophiles have you found?
What is your position?
You don't think there were any other bad actors? Maxwell was convicted of child sex trafficking. Who was she trafficking too? Shouldn't those people be held to account?
Or do you think she was wrongly convicted? Or...you are just tired of it all?
I'm not sure what your annoyance with it is about. I do agree that there seems to be a certain amount of grandstanding by some politicians over this...but the bottom line is I'm hoping to see anyone involved held to account.
I think there is a moral panic and a huge number of dumbasses chasing a whole bunch of things that did not remotely happen. I think a lot of people are making money off of that. Evidence is strong that Epstein his own self liked having sex with young women, including women under the age of 18. Evidence is strong that Maxwell helped him do that. It also appears that he found ways, mostly economic in nature, to keep around plenty of adult women, some of whom had sex with some of his friends. I think that calling that sex trafficking is kind of silly, and minimizes actual sexual trafficking. I think that conflating consensual sex among adults with pedophilia or sex trafficking minimizes a lot of the really bad **** that actually does go on in the world. And I think that most of this is just a reverse classist Lynch mob.
