Am I the only person that doesn't care about this? The age of consent in most other countries is 14/15 anyway. Even in the US there are states where what they did wouldn't be a crime. I'd rather the government focus on real issues like student loan debt forgiveness and the unemployment crisis.
Tell us more how you're okay with rape.
*organized child rape.
A more general name for "human traffic" is "slavery". It's way more than rape.
look up Abu Ghraib
What does the torture camp have to do with child rape? Either way, both are bad.
you have to care about both the same amount otherwise you're a hypocrite
That's absurd. I hate the US empire and the various crimes against humanity it's committed, including the crimes of Abu Graib. But the human trafficking and child rape committed by billionaires and politicians worldwide is a huge fucking problem.
Okay, now what? You being the hyypocrit here by your own rules?
What about it? Those people they tortured were of age right?
that's what they say but I doubt they were being honest
Your doubts are not evidence. Next.
Do you feel the same way about the kids the US killed/raped in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Hypocrite.
The trafficking is still a crime no matter how you frame it.
Hypocrite.
This could be bigger than that. Could be mafia on a different scale. Like imagine this literally collapsing countries. Wishful thinking I know.
Man, I remember when trolls used to be subtle. I mean, come on. Brand new account saying something meant to generate outrage? Obvious troll is obvious.
Gonna ignore your little pedophile red flags, but just wanted to say you DO know that those are different departments right? The FBI going after these people would have zero effect on unemployment or debt forgiveness.
Yeah but the media circus around this issue takes away from time we could be spent focusing on issues that I'm interested in talking about.
That YOU are interested in? Well fuck all the victims I guess, random Internet guy isn't "interested"
Do you even know the meaning of consent? Age aside, trafficked people are not consenting. It's called rape.
Age of consent in some places can be low, but then it carries a stipulation of the number of years older the other party can be. I.e. at 14 a person could consent to somebody 2 years older, but not 3 etc.
Traffic children's across state lines or countries for sex is also a crime.
In the unredacted version of the redacted files, epstein was also being charged with threatening victims if they spoke of it.
Consensual prostitution is fine. The problem is the blackmail ring.
The conventional theory: in order to be elected to Federal office in the States, you have to be selected by a party (primary elections are rigged, as we saw with Bernie Sanders). The parties only select candidates they can control, whether that is by secret videos or something else.
The blackmail thing I agree with but I do find it funny that people from a country that spent 20 years bombing kids in the desert never cared about those kids then but now suddenly they're so moral.
Hypocrite.
you have to give each case the same amount of attention. it's hypocritical to care about these women but then not talk about the way larger group of women that faced way worse from the US army
Hypocrite.
People should focus more on issues that matter. Like UBI or the employment crisis. I wouldn't be surprised if this is being used as a distraction by politicians so they don't have to address real problems. It's like rome's bread and circuses.
I don't really care about this story. I just think people treat it more like tabloid news. And even if I was upset, what exactly am I going to do about it? I'm an ordinary citizen. I'd be better off worrying about problems that affect me in my day to day life then about this crime which happened 20 years ago and most of the victims have been paid off handsomely. Plus ghislane maxwell is in prison and epstein is dead. What more justice can they get?
Ok, well once again, the post says CLIENT Of Epstein. So you're both revolting and also illiterate.
So sex trafficking of girls over 18 is totally fine, then?
