Sweetie, that means your system sucks.

Drain the swamp?

A system where the most powerful man on earth is a pedophile should indeed collapse

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 23 points 17 hours ago

I'm already sold on the concept, you don't need to advertise it even more, Pam!

Well if our system of paedophiles leading the country is going to be upended...

Hey, here's an idea: Lets not participate in a system that is led by paedophiles. Let us, in fact, burn it to the ground with all the paedophiles still inside.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 8 points 18 hours ago (6 children)

General Strike. International. We can start out smaller and part time, work up to big ones, the more the government gets rough trying to force us back, the more and longer we walk off jobs and stay off of them until demands are met.

Create Unions of Unions that cover everyone, regardless of where they work, to bargain. Leaderless perhaps. We have leaders but they aren't even known whom they are. Leaders by virtue of their own character, for the unions, to prevent persecution. Maybe just spitballing on that part.

The general strike, spread worldwide, to China, to SE Asia, to Europe. We could take some real power back from these leaders using technology to prostrate us before them and fix elections.

Cool idea, but no practical way to implement it within the current system.

They would basically just starve us until we had no choice but to give in, or we just die.

[–] Saurok@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

How are they gonna starve us when workers are the ones who grow the food, deliver the food to grocery stores, stock the shelves, and sell other workers the food? If we actually had more unions and did some organizing with a general strike in mind, we could setup strike funds and a plan for how to get food during a general strike. Then all we'd have to do is support each other and wait them out til our demands are met.

lmao fukk yea BURN IT

[–] eronth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 21 hours ago

If prosecuting everyone in the files causes the collapse of the system, that kinda implies the system is bad and needs collapse.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 22 hours ago

If the "system" is so deeply and widelly riddled with pedophiles that prosecuting every one in just the found files of just a single criminal pedophile ring would "collapse the system" then the "system" is nothing more than a criminal enterprise which deserves to be collapsed.

Most importantly, there is NO reliable attribution of this quote to her. No video. No audio. No text.

This is 100% "spin up the Libs" misinformation.

I fell for it for an hour and looked for a source to tell other people....nope. Does not exist.

BE CAREFUL, Y'ALL! This is how they get you.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 8 points 17 hours ago

I hope that's a promise. May it's ashes feed a thousand new worlds.

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 40 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Pretty sure if everyone in the Epstein files was shot I'd still have a job, a boss, bills, hunger, thirst, neighbors, etc.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 8 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah but what if the rent seekers weren't able to seek more rent anymore? Imagine the societal collapse if everyday people had expendable income.

If prosecuting pedophiles takes down "the system" then the system must be taken down.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 19 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

…collapse their system.

The one that keeps them richer and more powerful than everyone else. The rest of us will be fine.

You DONT Understand! The world is RUN by RICH PEDOPHILES RAPING CHILDREN and if we STOP that the WHOLE system Collapses!

-NOT QAnon Anymore for some Reason!

[–] orioler25@lemmy.world 11 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, yes I want to dismantle capitalism but this actually signals that they will weaponize the intentional destruction of public safety to protect their own. They all know the system isnt functional for its purported purpose to the people anyway, that's how they use it.

I'd rather rebuild from the ground than live in a lie perpetrated by pedophiles

Did Pam Bondi just admit that the American system is controlled by, or at least dependant on, pedophiles, rapists, and human / sex traffickers?

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 43 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Yes.

The thing is if it was true that prosecuting individuals would cause issues (it isn't true at all) then it pretty much proves that the system is fundamentally broken and needs to change asap.
If any one person can say "hey, I think I'll murder that baby over there because I can get away with it...Haha, I'm needed too much, haha. No one will do anything to do me." then we all may as well just go back to doing sacrifices at altars.

That disgusting bitch is being wildly dramatic, because if we were to get all the paedos in the tRUMP-Epstein files and guillotine them tomorrow nothing much will collapse.
Nothing.
Yeah, ok, there will be some blips whilst those power vacuums are filled. No collapse though.

When the fat kiddie fiddler dies (or before, please) then her and enablers like her deserve justice. Prison if you want, but something more painful and permanent is also acceptable.

I'm all for it. Throw every single pedo protector in the government right into a cold dark jail cell. Since they're such a big fan of not having die process, let's send them to prison now and work out if they're actually guilty later. Basically every republikkkan in office. All are complicit.

Hard ball.

[–] Xerxos@lemmy.ml 2 points 14 hours ago

The thing is: it would not collapse.

These billionaires and big CEOs think they hold up the heavens, but if the 1% would die off tomorrow (or get put in jail) not much would change.

Companies would work as they normally do, perhaps even better without egomaniacs controlling them for once. The real work happens much further down the chain if command.

Politicians would have to be replaced, but except for some early voting in some areas the impact would be quite small. There are rules for politicians leaving office before their term ends, or else every politician who died or gets convicted would be a major problem.

It's an excuse and a bad one, I'd say.

This is just some 'Atlas shrugged' nonsense.

The system obviously needs to crash if the whole entire fucking government, AS A WHOLE, were all cool with pedophilia for multiple multiple fucking years! This means both Democrats AND Republicans have had ample chances to stop this tragedy, but DID NOT.

Disgusting shit.

It could drain the swamp, you mean? That's too bad, let's not do that. Nobody ran their campaign on doing that.

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 97 points 1 day ago

I mean, I’m ok with t still prosecuting them even if it doesn’t collapse the system.

We can do that separate if we have to.

[–] AdamBomb@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 1 day ago (3 children)

If that’s what’s keeping the system supported, then it deserves to collapse.

Does anyone remember "drain the swamp"? Anyone with half a brain knew it was a joke, but it's amazing how they don't even pretend to be the good guys. It's endless comic book levels of villainy.

Isn't upending the establishment what Trump was originally voted in for?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 12 points 1 day ago

We're always hearing that as an excuse for the government to not do the hard work of governing, and it has brought us to this.

Every society has a swath of psychopaths chomping at the bit to get off the leash and cause chaos and mayhem. A healthy society recognizes this and keeps that ugly slice of humanity under control. But now and then, a country gets distracted, and that ugly slice of humanity grabs their opportunity and takes over. In the mid-20th century it was the Nazis. Today, in America, it's MAGA.

Nothing is better proof of how broken America is than the fact that we allowed MAGA to rise, and take over. We all saw it coming back in 2015/6, and even Republicans were screaming against it. They should have held their ground, but as the final example of how far our nation has fallen, they decided to join instead.

Now we have to dislodge them, which will be a difficult, and probably violent job, and then we have to make the hard decisions to punish them for their crimes. We can no longer kick the can down the road for someone else to deal with, we are the ones who finally have to deal with it now. We are in unprecedented territory, and it will take unprecedented solutions. We can't just fall back on our old strategies of doing NOTHING, and hope it works out. It won't work out, we are living proof of that.

I'm kind of convinced that most of those people online were foreign agitators and/or bot nets.
