It seems like most people have forgotten about this age-old classic:
In fact we'd be absolutely delighted to filter all the oligarch class pedos out of politics. And yes, all means all. From all corners. Businessmen, politicians, faith leaders. All of them.
Hilarious that they think they "got us" with someone who was president a quarter century ago.
Democrats voted unanimously to release the files, Republicans voted to hide them. Explain that, MAGA.
Actually, the dems weren't unanimous. I think there were two who voted present.
voted present? Does that mean abstained?
Yes.
The right considers Republican pedophiles good pedophiles, while the left considers all pedophiles vile. Enough of the double standards bullshit for the rich at the expense of children's lives.
The cult has always assumed that everyone's as bad as they are. That's why they do the things that they do.
It's not left though. It's right and righter.
Obviously, we don't really care about Bill Clinton, but I would like to bring up someone a lot of us will care about, and should still treat the same way.
Marvin Minsky was a pioneer in the AI field. He also had ties to Epstein. Now, you may not care about Minsky or AI (though I'll point out that the research field and what capitalism is doing with that research are very different things). But you might care about Richard Stallman, and he comes into this, too:
The controversy swirling around him now stems from a series of emails from a CSAIL group email list--made public by Selam Jie Gano--in which Stallman said that a 17-year-old girl who allegedly was instructed by Epstein to have sex with AI pioneer Marvin Minsky likely seemed "entirely willing" to engage in the illegal act. He also argued it is unfair to call such an incident "sexual assault".
Stallman dropped out as president of the Free Software Foundation because of this.
Minsky himself died in 2016, but as far as I'm concerned, Stallman got exactly what he deserved. There's no evidence he was directly involved as far as I'm aware, but those are not acceptable comments to make, and he shows some deep misunderstandings of consent here.
i literally don't give a shit about either of them. if stallman diddles kids, he can go eat his foot fungus in jail with the rest of em. and the AI guy too.
I hope nobody who made fun of Trump for posting that AI picture of him with a red lightsaber, upvoted the meme depicting Leftists as Dr Evil...
Trump is an insecure man child and a clown for posting that AI lightsaber picture.
Upvote
Fuck him.
Bill Clinton sucked as president.
Got sucked too.
I wanted to make an "A handshake B" meme about both sides hating pedophiles, but even devising in "A and B" feels bad.
All decent humans hate pedophiles
All decent humans hate pedophiles
There has been a recent wave of online influencers and their ilk suddenly talking about how being attracted to minors is "the most natural thing in the world for all men."
Combine this with the recent push for removing child-labor laws and you really see what the right's values are.
I am in no way a decent human and even I hate pedophiles.
I don't like how we can't define what being "Decent" even means anymore. Why is it now such a huge problem for people to figure out what's right and wrong? How did we actually have a Christian pushback against empathy?
I lost a friend recently. To religion.
He revealed that he can't figure out how to have his own values so he turned to Jesus. He said he can't tell what's right or wrong anymore. What was happening is that his family were supporting Trump mindlessly, but he felt uncomfortable with it because he has a young daughter and feels really apprehensive about Trump's history and allegations among other things.
So his solution? Turn to Christ, his family's Church said that Trump is chosen by God, so he can now support Trump without a conflict of conscience.
Yes, that is literally his reasoning, and he is fine with it.
This is the average median voter in this country. This is why everything has gone to shit. Because average people look outside themselves for moral guidance.
I was always told how people follow cues of other people for an idea what to do or not, but I never really saw it until I saw a car get crushed by an 18-wheeler on the highway and traffic came to a stop. Someone got out of their car. Picked up a piece of twisted bumper that was in the lane in front of him, moved it aside and got back in and everyone kept driving. (I helped pull the old couple out and they were okay, not another soul stopped. DPS officers said that's normal, sometimes they will go out to remote accidents and people will have bled out in their car because nobody stopped to check the occupants.)
You're more decent than you think (un?)fortunately :)
Guess I'll have to take all the Clinton flags off my f850 dually, take all the Clinton signs outta of my yard, and quit wearing my made in China Clinton hat. Hell, I might have to stop letting Bill fuck my wife.
What about your bill clinton nfts and his golden shoes and the beans that he sold from the oval office. Checkmate leftie
Don’t forget your Clinton bibles!
Sadly, Bill doesn't just want to fuck your wife...
If you do that I'll have to close my store that sells nothing but Clinton related trinkets and such.
Nobody under 47 years old has even had a chance to vote for Bill. Nobody gives a shit about that guy.
He's the best option for the joke - Obama and Biden are more recent, but don't have a reputation for philandering, let alone for being sexual predators.
What am I supposed to do about my Bill tattoo?
At least let me keep my Bill wifu pillow.
The left doesn't worship their politicians as the second coming of Jesus Christ son of God.
And even if we did, Bill fucking Clinton isn't on the left
And even if he WAS- Bill Clinton isn’t a fucking pedophile. An adulterer, a sleazy dude? Sure. But you’re not going to convince me that Bill Clinton is into children without some solid evidence.
i wouldn't be surprised if he was also on the list.
I mean, we already have “the list”- associates who travelled on his plane. Bill’s on it. Bill Gates, too. Plenty of people I’m not convinced are kid fuckers are on that list, but that’s been public information for years.
Yeah, we (at least I) don't prop up shitty people to save face, just because they're on "my team" and I can't admit I messed up--like basically every MAGA applogist.
Oh no, not the other right wing dude who ran the country one time. Fuck
I feel this encompasses my political universe.
Trumpists: The Clintons are oligarch crooks! Arrest them!
Me: Nods eagerly.
Grads: The US is an imperialist menace! Shows horrific CIA ops.
Me: Mmm hm. Seems like us, yyep.
I'm a local ML enthusiast/tinker too, so:
AI Haters: Sam Altman is a tech bro con artist! ChatGPT is evil and melting our brains!
Me: Yep. Nods. Massive understatement, you have no idea.
Yet I feel binned as a Neolib, US Apologizer and AI Bro. Which I am not.
You have grasped at the very least the most basic understanding of the concept of Nuance, that's how you're able to reason.
Those fucks don't have any critical thinking skills.
You see the thing is that you don't see this as a sport, a lot of other people treat it as such.
I'm with you.
Their angle is not "haha your guy will lose!" but had already shifted to "well your guy does it too so it's ok you can't accuse us of anything otherwise you're a dirty hypocrite "
Which i always hate because he’s not “my guy”. He’s a politician that I voted for based on their policies. This isn’t a sports game.
"Drop your weapons! Or I kill the man."
"...Well, kill him, he's not our man."
If they are on the list, and we can prove the charges, lock them up! I don’t care if it’s the pope, Obama, or my own father. LOCK THEM UP.
Yeah! Lock up father Stupidmanager!
Yes yes yes, some founding fathers have very questionable sex lives with young women, so now let’s see the files and maybe we will find one thing trump has in common with founding fathers?
Clinton was a neoliberal shitbag just like Reagan and HW Bush. I’m a prison abolitionist so just take every cent he has and give it to Epstein’s (and Clinton’s) victims. Let him die poor and hated.
At this point, I doubt even Hillary would defend that asshole if there's solid evidence he was involved.
Throw them all in a low security jail and let nature take its course.
