I find it odd to protect children they will stalk the hell out of us but won’t arrest known pedophiles …
I hate the world
Also they'll deny trans kids puberty blockers which are proven to be safe and reversible, and the alternative creates harm.
And they'll censor the internet for 'children' (a 17 year old is not a child) to prevent them finding community, support or education outside their IRL religious and harmful bubbles.
It was never about actually protecting children
It's not to protect children though. It's for political surveillance.
Exactly. Governments around the world, including the U.S., of course, have made it crystal clear through their actions that they don't give a fuck about protecting children.
Yeah apparently it's fine for them to fuck kids but too immoral to risk kids seeing people fucking.
Better to just hate the whole Epstein Class. They trash the world for everyone else..
We’ve had a name for them for the last 200 years: the capitalist class, or to be more precise, the haute bourgeoisie. The 1% of the 1%.
The painful irony being that the bourgeoisie were still below the nobles
If everyone voting for these age requirements don't also vote to require you to use an ID to unlock the safety on a gun or remove a knife from the knife rack, they aren't voting on this to protect the children.
Knives and guns need age verification before someone seeing Kate Upton showing her breasts.
Im going side with none of it needs age verification, and all of it needs parental guidance
At least knives have a use outside of killing
In America.
