People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.

- No bullying or international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

Ruled by a child? Yeah, that fits.
No that's an infentocract. A pedocracy is ruled by pedos
Mixing Latin and Greek roots? You sociopath^1^.
Yes, pedocracies are ruled by pedos; the Greek word for 'child'. See also Pedagogy (teaching children), pediatrics (medicine for children), and pedophily (sexual attraction to children).
A society ruled by pedophiles would be a pedophilocracy. From the Greek words 'pedos' (child), 'philia' (lust), and 'cratos' (rule). Like aristocracy (rule by the best), democracy (rule by the people), or autocracy (rule by oneself).
^1^: from Latin 'socius' (comrade) and Greek 'pathos' (caring).
