I leave review of the definition up to you. All I'm trying to do is agree that no one cares, and add that I think that it's because the label is not working to dissuade people from the Trump regime's policy because it has become overused and obtuse. I'm sorry for my lack of clarity, but it's pretty tiring to open the news every day to "so and so is a pedophile" while American citizens are being executed in the streets.
I mean, you still don’t answer. This is probably because you’re a MAGAT and you don’t think Trump fucking kids is a bad thing. So, I’m gonna tag you “MAGAT PEDO SIMP” and just be sure to remind you of who you are whenever I see your name. Which I’m sure won’t bother you at all.
I don’t feel the need to parrot the answer to a deliberately glib and disgusting question just to virtue signal to you that we’re on the same “team.” Label me however you wish, you have a right to your narrow, angry and incorrect opinion. But know this: you’re alienating potential allies and possibly contributing to abuse by diluting its definition.
We want the same thing, we just disagree as to how it can be, or should be done. Not everyone you disagree with is a pedophile.
You’re not an ally. You’re a pedo simp. No one wants your kind—except maybe the republicans. Go back to where you belong, a MAGA rally.
And you are a closed minded fool too blinded by your impotent rage to even participate in a real conversation, or to see another point of view that may help even when it’s laid out in front of you. All you have are insults, because you’re all out of ideas other than to scream the word ”pedo” at everything and everyone you don’t like.
It’s not working, you said it yourself: “no one cares.” Why do you think that is? Try something else. ICE is murdering citizens in the street. The US is about to invade a NATO ally. Trump just used the military to steal Venezuela’s oil for himself. The federal government is operating concentration camps. You’re focused on the wrong thing, and it’s by design.
But hey, at least that sense of righteous indignation about how you “saved the children” will keep you warm and fuzzy while nuclear winter sets in.
A real conversation is where both parties agree to answer questions. You already ended the conversation when you—literally—said you wouldn’t participate. You can think you’re playing 3d chess, but you’re really just a tryhard incel pedo loser.
