I was already on board, you don't need to sell it more

If the whole system is in the Epstein files then it deserves to collapse.

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 30 points 1 month ago

Then it should burn to the ground, along with everyone supporting the system.

Burn these pedophiles and anyone who has ever covered for them.

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 52 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The only people worried are the wealthy because the only people served by the system for the past few decades have been the wealthy.

"The system will collapse!!" Oh the system that only offers welfare to its wealthiest members? The system that refuses to adopt wildly popular policy? The system that's failed to guarantee livable wages? The system that won't adopt universal healthcare? The system that won't enshrine equal rights for anyone other than white men? The system currently threatening life on earth with it's reckless commitment to fossil fuels? The system that's allowed it's infrastructure to crumble?

Wealthy people built a system that benefits no one and act surprised when no one cares about its potential collapse.

And then they point to all the scientific and technological advances of the last several hundred years and lay claim to them because the economic system existed at the same time as the advances.

Feudalism (or whatever economic system can be argued to be existent at the time) didn't make the telescope, Galileo did with technology. 

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

I'd anything the lack of cooperation inherent in capitalism hinders science and technology, not encourages it

Ain't no such thing as a load bearing pedo ring

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Even if there were, there's no load worth bearing that we can't pick back up after we guillotine them.

Titanic wiped out a chunk of the most influential and richest movers and shakers.

World war I destroyed entire structures and empires

Not long after the Crash took out an entire financial system

We survived.

Burn it down. We can rebuild. We can use the money from the ultra wealthy to do it.

They mean "They have threatened to and will burn down our entire civilization to keep fucking kids"

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

Whoa, calm down.
They also want to torture kids too.

If the recent revelations are true. And I deffo believe that they are.
Plus, it 'makes sense' to get rid of the witnesses/victims...

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

So? This argument infuriates me because it’s similar to the “too big to fail” argument. It’s basically saying “yes this crime is legal because the alternative is worse”. Who is she to decide that these pedophiles are allowed to get away with it?

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Also any person who gags on capitalist dick who defends business welfare is fucking idiot. They’ll tell you about how if we don’t make an exception and give all our taxes(I’m Canadian but it’s the same vibe) to these companies then we’re hurting ourselves for nothing but if you tell them that public services and consumer/renter/environmental/etc. protections will save tax money and inject much needed spending into the wider economy they tell you that you can’t say anything because you own an iPhone. It’s insanity.

[–] Rollade@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

So everyone or at least the Major pillars are pedos. That's definitely what every one wanted to hear /s

[–] fishy@lemmy.today 8 points 1 month ago

Burn the whole fucking thing down. A system that needs a cabal of pedos needs to die.

[–] Xerxos@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

That's 'Atlas Shrugged' bullshit. "The system" works better if the parasites at the top get pruned. Hell, it might kickstarter the economy if money that had been horded at the top suddenly floats through the economy again.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

I fail to see the downside.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

That system is long overdue for collapse.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I doubt the whole system would collapse. The people involved with Epstein had more on their minds than doing a good job. Like most anywhere, it is the employees who hold most of the knowledge when it comes to the inner daily workings. So go ahead, arrest them all. It'll be a slight hiccup at best.

[–] blicky_blank@lemmy.today 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They mean the system they benefit from would collapse... Nothing more, life will go on

Who knows maybe a better system will replace the nonsense one we exist in now.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Oh, I see. Thanks.

[–] teddypolice@feddit.org 5 points 1 month ago

I've said this before, the current US admin fits what you get when you literally drain a swamp. Everything's kinda disgusting and mucky, you have a faint smell of sulphur and decay and you have a good chance do trip over a half-mummified corpse or five.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Luckily for whomever is earnestly saying this(?), the system will never prosecute itself.

[–] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This quote is bothering me. I've been seeing it all over for the past few days, even before Bondi's hearing, and I literally can't find a single government official that said it. Let alone Pam Bondi.

I know it's not the first time it's happened but it's kind of wild that someone can just make something up and so many people just latch onto it and run with it without it even being a thing. There were so many other hilariously dumbass quotes from Bondi's hearing to take but people choose a made up one instead.

There'd probably be about 40 DNC senators left unscathed, but to these people a system collapse would be preferable.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Yes. So do it please

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Fuck the system.

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

Let it collapse then...

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

The system that is on the brink of collapse, might collapse? 🥹

[–] withabeard@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Burn it down!
