Imagine believing the co-party will do anything at all about this if/when they take "power". smh.

Melania showed women they can [checks notes] 'live a life of luxury and never face concequences if the suck the richest dick they can find.'

Yes, truly the greatest message a first lady can expound.

/S for those who need it

You can never win an argument with someone who doesn't care about lying. Pedonald is the living proof. Americans know he's a pedo and doesn't care.

The history we've seen around the Esptein Files demonstrates that, here in the US, no one involved is going to be held accountable in a meaningful way. I firmly believe that Epstein himself would still be operating and alive if Donald himself hadn't been elected.

Even if they called her to testify, she knows that she would have an accident. The news would go crazy for a few days, and then gradually fade away, but she'd be dead either way.

"You knew that your 'husband' was involved with a convicted child trafficker and rapist, why didn't you do anything to stop all that suffering?"

I always loved this.

Doesn't care so much she had to have someone go out to find finger paints for her to paint over her clothing so she can show everyone how much she doesn't care.

You know, like that whiny 15 paragraph comment you saw once where someone starts and ends it with "i don't even care"

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I INTENSELY DON'T CARE. I REALLY DO NOT. AT ALL. I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE KEEP INSISTING I CARE WHEN I CONTINUOUSLY TELL THEM THAT I DO NOT. IF YOU THINK I CARE THEN YOU ARE MISTAKEN AND SHOULD BE VERY ASSURED THAT I DON'T CARE EVEN A LITTLE BIT.

It's kind of a nice looking jacket without the words

[–] kureta@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

That's not finger paint. That's Balenciaga.

I think I am mistaken...

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 6 points 6 hours ago

Arent they the ones that had articles about child abuse in one of their marketing campaigns?

Are we still pretending that the rule of law is applied equitably?

If you’re a republican, you got nothing to worry about. Coward fucking dems

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 8 points 10 hours ago

Its a meme. The community has the word meme in the title.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 39 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Ask her if she really participated in that ritual where they cut the face off of a young child while still alive and if she wore the face like a mask and made the child look at her own face, ask her that please.

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 43 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

What the fuck is that sentence.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 22 points 11 hours ago (4 children)

Yeah it's horrible if true. Some woman being interviewed said she was a survivor and witness to this happening.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)
[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I sadly do not. I tried to find the Instagram post earlier today that my friend sent me in DMs a few weeks ago, but it seems like the video was removed. Curiously.

I really hope it isn't true.

[–] urandom@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)
[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

No no, sorry. The child died, surely, without a face. But this survivor was supposedly a witness to the ritual.

[–] urandom@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)
[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Definitely. If true, that is. Sounds so outlandish, so I'm having a hard time believing it. But I definitely want to know.

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 46 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (2 children)

You know what? I want to go back to when it was just conspiracy theroies you told your friends when passing the joint around, like theres an evil cabal of reptilains who run the world, not face peeling pedophile cannibal child killers.

I really, really hate reality atm.

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

There are only a few thousand people around the world who are doing this. As a collective, we could END THIS in a single afternoon. They all have home addresses and places where they sleep. They all go out to eat and they all drive around or fly out of airports that are predictable and trackable.

There are resources for you to find these people.

There are people in your neighborhood who would help you, if you can but find them.

There are many people who would see nothing when you go by.

The thought experiment I have been considering is that there is a child surrounded by 4 men with assault rifles. One of them is pouring gasoline over the child and pulling out a lighter. The child is screaming.

There is a crowd of thousands of people surrounding this, all VIOLENTLY wagging their fingers and saying, "hey man, that's not cool. Don't do that."

There is one person SCREAMING at everyone to fucking do something else to help. There aren't enough bullets for all of us.

What is the correct response by the crowd?

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

It's a diffusion of responsibility problem. The bigger the crowd, the less likely any individual is to take personal action. Also, the sum of that possibility (the likelihood that any member acts) also goes down.

This is why big companies become amoral (and so can act immorally so easily).

It's also why first aiders are taught to pick on people. Don't ask, "someone ring an ambulance!" instead you pick on someone. "You! In the yellow coat, ring a fucking ambulance for me, now!" It resets responsibility to an individual. It's also why good first aid courses make it clear YOU need to act, no matter how many people aren't.

Unfortunately, at country and global levels, diffusion of responsibility becomes a problem. This is also why we have things like police and governments. It helps refocus responsibility onto a smaller group. The downside is that, if those groups get captured, then we are left floundering, unable to act.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 hours ago

Maybe the person screaming should start the party!

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago

Dude reality sucks ass. It really was a wonderful world as a child when you were protected from the truths. Ignorance is bliss.

~~Ehat__~~ What

I saw some interview with a woman who said she was witness to this happening, a survivor. Not sure if it was true so I want to know.

[–] kofe@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'm very much lost on the context of this and the meme. We talking Hillary? Shes been accused of this, or the survivor knew Hillary witnessed it???

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Talking Hillary, yeah. I saw a clip on Instagram where this lady was participating in a remote interview, and she was making these claims that I said in the first comment I made here. I wasn't able to find it again unfortunately. But there are rumor articles online of it, too.

I just... have a really hard time picturing Hillary participating in something like that. She just seems like a sweet old lady to me, but at this point I can't rule anyone out. That's one of the scary parts in all of this. Everything needs to be investigated, I feel.

[–] expr@piefed.social 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Hillary seems like a sweet old lady to you? She seems like a power-hungry ghoul to me.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Alright. I don't know Hillary at all. I'm not based in America.

[–] catchy_name@feddit.it 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

A good rule of thumb is that when something sounds unbelievable you should assume that the source is made up until you locate substantial evidence to confirm the claim. Nowadays, video clips are misrepresented or even fabricated altogether. If this particular claim had been spread far at all and a few days had passed, there would be articles online (at non-junk websites) discussing it. I'm not seeing any such articles in this case.

My personal rule is not to mention such "big unverifiable claim" topics until I'm able to verify and educate myself on it. That avoids me feeling silly by being unable to respond to any probing questions about the big claim. It also avoids spreading the idea that the story is accurate. If all I can say is "I saw it in a feed full sourced from publishers that I don't necessarily trust" and the claim is unbelievably wild that's my "stop signal".

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I mean, that's the normal way of processing of claims before the Epstein files. Even Bill Gates turns up and he had to apologize to his co-workers for the things revealed about him. And he seemed like a relatively chill guy to me as well. Everyone is involved. Even the princess of Norway. This is far and wide.
