    Theres far more than pedophilia in there, too. Several lifetime sentences. Its because they are the same people, and the others are for some reason ideologically aligned or captured. Its honestly beyond me how this could pickup so much momentum.

      … and the others are for some reason ideologically aligned or captured…

      this has been fascinating me since i’ve learned that epstein pushed for /pol/ to reopen on 4chan and also learn about maxwell’s role as a moderator on reddit. they admit to steering the pizzagate narrative through qanon on 4chan to control maga and you can infer that maxwell controlled the conversation for liberals on reddit. if you combine both facts together, you’re left with the inescapable conclusion that they’ve been socially engineering politics in the western world for the last few decades.

      we easily show maga plenty of evidence that their world view is wrong and we deride them for refusing to admit it through doubling down; but now we have proof that the vote-blue-no-matter-who crowd were also likewise manipulated and they’re likewise doubling down by scapegoating russia.

        Correction #1: rich assholes don’t care.

        Correction #2: rich assholes already diddle their own kids.

        As for the rest of us, we are decent human beings.

    Is your liberalism no longer making sense? Lofty promises of justice for all, equality and all that turning out to be a big farce with those at the top openly doing the most horrendous crimes and just getting away with them in a way that leaves you seething and wondering ‘what about justice’?

    Try old time original Marxism (fortified with Leninism for clarity and taste) today!

    Turns out that stuff they were talking about a hundred years ago is still true today and the old brand promise still holds true!

    Not ready to check out just yet? Still nervous about Marxism? That’s alright. As economic conditions worsen, your buying power lessens, and you’re given the shaft in the work-place and an empty wallet at the grocery and/or electronics store you can always remember this fine product and revisit when you’re ready!

    When all other solutions have failed, when liberal and social democrat reform turns out to be a dud, remember there’s original strength Marxism (fortified with Leninism). We’ll be waiting for you.

    The simple answer is it’s because western liberal regimes are not democracies. A system where you have one set of laws for regular people, and another for the affluent is a plutocracy.

    Rich people basically own the police. The police main purpose in capitalism is to uphold class separation, not serve for what is lawful or right.

          It’s only believed by the same people that already that he was a traitor to the USA and should be in prison. The people that rightfully consider him a hero haven’t changed their beliefs

          Agreed, and furthermore, it shouldn’t matter at all. If the worst Russian Intelligence can do is use real evidence to prove a crime was committed, that’s an easily solvable problem both by not committing crimes and by prosecuting crimes committed with transparent, due process.

          It really is a very silly argument.

          “Your honor, in my defense, the guy who saw me shoot the victim, called the police, and submitted some of the damning evidence to them was a known mafia member, untrustworthy, and had committed crimes against me in the past.”

          “Okay, and what do you have to say about all of this other corroborated evidence from trustworthy sources?”

          “Well they wouldn’t have found it if he hadn’t pointed it out!”

          I don’t think he was a Russian spy, but I am also sure that it’s irrelevant.

        Are you gonna do something about it

        About the issues where I live? A lot of things, actually. About your failed shithole of a country? No, not really. You elected the guy twice. Good luck, though, bestie.

          Yeah. If you want to go visit Mexico as an American, or to buy goods from Mexico, it now takes ~20% more dollars to get the same amount of stuff. Most Americans haven’t noticed because the numbers on their investment accounts keep going up (or they don’t have investment accounts), but we are significantly poorer now than we were a year ago because even if you have more dollars (and many people do not), the interest you’ve gotten on your portfolio is less than the larger amount of dollars required to obtain goods and services from abroad.

      it goes beyond that.

      yes, it’s true that the rich got off free for doing the crimes that poor people get punished for in our legal system; but pedophilia carries a social stigma with it that other crimes don’t have and these people were so confidant that the our legal system was going to protect them that they were being open about their pedophilia … on gmail!!!

      they’re so mustache-twirly evil that they’re making comments about newborns tasting like cream cheese.

        The average person doesn’t have power to put someone in jail. That’s what the courts are for, and lawmakers care far more about money than doing right for the American people.

        I understand how you feel. I’m also extremely mad at all of this. And how these sick evil fucks have been completely manipulating the world and our lives and making us all miserable at the same time.

        There are simply no words to describe how fucked up this all is. I would love to see all these people get what they deserve: years of torture and pain and a slow agonizing death.

        This need a worldwide level revolution but we’re all so stuck in this capitalist system trying to survive it’s near impossible to do.
