Nah fuck this guy though. He is not an 'agorist'. He is a simp for fascism and wants to round leftists up and put them in camps.

Spoiler: they did in fact eat the child after raping her and forcing her to give birth to a baby who they also raped and murdered but Americans didn’t care enough to overthrow this regime so other children are getting raped and eaten as we speak

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

What in the ever-loving holy hell is this?

Okay, so I know we all dislike the current administration, and the Epstein files are damning evidence absolutely.

And the sooner this regime changes or the office is vacated, the better for literally everyone on the face of the planet.

But I just want to make sure that everybody understands: there is currently no credible evidence that this has occurred.

There is no credible evidence that cannibalism occurred.

There are some very dubious things we could potentially conjecture about, but there is no evidence suggesting this.

A few years ago, I read Marquis de Sade's 120 Days of Sodom. It was one of the most important books I've read because it gave me a new perspective on the depths of human evil. Did not expect to see the Epstein files be such a faithful reenactment...

Conservatives in 1998: The president told a lie, impeach.

Conservatives in 2028: Trump said it's legal for him to run again, and I have no reason not to believe him. Honest guy, tells it like it is.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 23 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Really, it's more like:

Conservatives in 1998: The president told a lie, impeach.

Almost every member of Congress in 2026: The president raped children, but it was with a rich friend, and I like money, so it's really not a big deal. Plus, they were girls, which...c'mon - who's going to take that seriously?

[–] Cruel@programming.dev 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Name a single US Congress member that thinks Trump raped kids and is okay with it.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Ron Johnson

Then take the first 50 members on this list, maybe 75. Maybe 200. Money makes people fine with some pretty terrible stuff. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/report-cards/2024/house/ideology

[–] Cruel@programming.dev 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Okay. Let's just start with Ron Johnson.

I can't find any evidence or quotes of him talking about Trump having raped minors.

Any Trump supporter ever say they believe Trump had sex with minors? Or are you just assuming that every Republican believes Trump raped minors? Because that's what it seems like, and that defies reality.

not really conservative anymore, more regressive than anything.

Fucking children is always rape. But rape doesn't necessarily require fucking.

And the Qanon Pizzagate people are nowhere to be found when they would be the loudest people online about this issue.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

they only care about it as long as it's a conspiracy

same as how republicans only care about the "wellbeing of children" as long as they aren't already born

[–] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I mean it is a conspiracy, a conspiracy to rape and eat children. Just because it's real doesn't mean it's not a conspiracy, it's just a factual one, not a theory.

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

qanon was the only "theory" involved. we KNEW about epstein by the time pizzagate started. he was arrested under Bush. the prosecution just took that long.

the conspiracy theories around this were all wrong and intentionsl misdirection about a real active case. they didn't Crack anything. the whole thing was horse shit. the pedo ring was already public knowledge.

[–] arin@lemmy.world 39 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Qanon were lead by Russia to fuck with retarded Americans

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Qanon was Epstein bragging.

In 2030: Yes, I ate a few children, but I didn't eat YOU.

[–] starik@lemmy.zip 3 points 14 hours ago

President Clavicular could eat a child on Ocean Drive and lot lose any votes.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If God didn't want us to eat children, why did he make them so damn delicious?

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 25 points 22 hours ago

"What's the charge? Eating a child? A succulent human child?"

I remember the days when we criticized the president for wearing tan suits and eating the wrong type of mustard

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 29 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

And the helmet. Don't forget that he looked weak, because he was wearing a bicycle helmet, while riding a bicycle.

Yep, this is getting ridiculous. Absurd. I'm done with it.

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 20 hours ago (5 children)

Why are you against eating children? It should be fine as long as they are killed humanely and you use all body parts right?

It's much too modest a proposal. Scandalous for a politician, given that they need to keep up appearances. It would reflect poorly on the country if the leaders seemed poor.

Eating them is much less bad.

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (2 children)

Hmmm... I get the sentiment, and if you were just exaggerating a bit for comedy I get it. However... I just thought of something interesting about that comment.

We often say things like "a fate worse than death." And we make assumptions of where we feel we would rather be dead than go through something like that.

But now imagine you were a rape survivor and someone did the hard work to get over that trauma. I wonder what would go through their head if they parsed that statement as, 'Don't you wish they killed you instead of raped you and you were just dead right now instead of healed and alive?"

Social interaction is so so complex, I can hardly believe we manage it at all. Speaking as an autistic person that struggles with these nuances. Sometimes I just don't understand the rules of what some people are going to find offensive or not, sometimes it seems so random to me because I can't see all the variables I need to predict the outcome.

Edit: wait I just did it again didn't I. Were you just saying, "Eating them is less bad than a blowjob" which is a hilarious joke? I'm so bad at jokes 😭 I don't miss every joke, but I probably miss most of them.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I think rape is seen worse because of the meaninglessness of it.

There might be a reason to kill someone. Rape is just giving into your inner demons.

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Ah but doesn't that line of hypothetical thinking require the very very specific premise of the killer having a good reason and the rapist having a bad reason?

Now if those are the conditions, my brain goes ok!

Hypothetical accepted. Scenario: a child rapist is punished for raping children by a fellow prisoner who is feeling self righteous. The form of punishment he inflicts? Rape.

Is Rape worse than killing now? Also, I heard long ago that rape is more about power dynamics than sexual gratification. I don't know if that changes anything.

Whatcha think?

I was not making a joke so you were on point.

I think that if you ask people that went through that kind of abuse as kids, you'll realise that they never heal from it. When you know those people, you see that they either would have preferred to die, or made it happen.

Child abuse is horrible and generally not something that can be heal. That kind of abuse is even worse.

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I mean that's a pretty big claim in my mind. I've gotten over some pretty traumatic stuff myself. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. I can honestly tell you I will claim I'm 100% at peace with my life now that I did all that work, and I honestly feel nothing but love for even my parents who were responsible for the horrific trauma.

So when you say that, my brain goes, ehhhhh I'm pretty sure all psychological damage can be undone with the correct psychological processes. It's just a question of finding the right answer. Am I saying it's likely or common? Absolutely not. But it's possible. Now we just argue about what sliding scale we want to consider as statistically meaningful and a means of testing for that.

Sorry for rambling!

[–] Solumbran@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Even if it is theoretically possible to overcome it, I don't think that it can be assumed that it's the case for most people, and/or that they wouldn't have preferred death.

Not minimising what you went through, but the specific kind of abuse I was targeting messes up a gigantic amount of things in the brain. You end up being fucked up on so many points that more often than not, it's not possible to recover from.

I've known people struggle for years and years before just dying, and others struggle for decades with problems seeming to get worse rather than better.

Nowadays people try to make it look like it's just one trauma amongst others, but for a lot (most?) of the victims, it's a source of endless suffering and often makes their lives much worse than if they died instead.

And you're not rambling, we're just having a conversation, no worries. This is the internet, if I don't want to read no one forces me to

If he said he didn't, that's essentially as good as a confession from him.

[–] MerryJaneDoe@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

Catch and release. There's always next year to think about....
