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.

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 46 points 2 months ago (2 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 struggle to think of an appropriate "punishment" for such people, because I don't have the wisdom and vision to see how they can be rehabilitated and reintegrated into society. How can they be? So reluctantly I find myself thinking of capital punishment - how else to make safe a democracy from its most powerful avowed enemies?

Too criminal to fail?

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 42 points 2 months 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 2 months 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.

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.

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.

[–] eronth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 29 points 2 months ago

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

[–] agingelderly@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago

By system she probably means Republicans but who cares, take them all out no matter who

[–] cheesybuddha@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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 9 points 2 months ago (10 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.

These are vital load-bearing pedophiles.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 25 points 2 months ago

...then collapse the system, duh...

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Throw it on the ground!

I ain't part of your system!

You can't trust the system...maaaaan!

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

…collapse their system.

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

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.

[–] TractorDuffy@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

lmao fukk yea BURN IT

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Okay, you don't want to prosecute everybody in the files because it will collapse the system, so how about a cut-off? Just prosecute the ones who are mentioned above a certain number of times. Like, if your name is mentioned more than a few hundred times, you can get a full-time FBI agent assigned to you.

And if, God forbid, there's somebody in there who is mentioned over a million times, you get a dedicated team of dozens of agents, special prosecutors, and forensic experts who will work non-stop until you're serving a life sentence.

That seems like a reasonable starting point, right? Better than just throwing your hands up in the air and doing nothing.

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 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.

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

I love how they claim the system can't survive without pedofiles. 100 percent all those people are expendable. Just like the kids they raped.

[–] NGC2346@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

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

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

"We have to look forward, not backwards"

Obama on why he refused to investigate or prosecute anyone for the CIA rendition and torture programme.

[–] very_well_lost@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, well, looking forward got us illegal surveillance programs and extra-judicial killings of American citizens so it was worth it in the end

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

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (9 children)

People on the right don't think logically. It's always just us vs them. If they do gerrymandering its good, if the dems do it its bad. They have no morals, they just know sides. Also they like to engage in virtue signalling. "Freedom!" and all that. They mean freedom for themselves, not for all people. I hate how so many people try to get that gatcha moment with them. Its so easy to do and they could not care less. Guess lefties just like patting themselves on the back after pointing out the right's non existent logic time and time again. You are just the most recent addition to the circle jerk.

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.

-Sartre

The last two sentenced (which are conveniently left out in most quote sites now) are the reason to continue pointing out the hypocrisy.

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

[–] saimen@feddit.org 8 points 2 months ago

Sounds like a system-problem and not a me-problem.

[–] KaChilde@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

The system that exists solely to protect pedophiles and rapists? The system that lets these vile cunts prosper while the rest of us toil and suffer?

I think I could be okay with watching that collapse.
