Every oligarch is a pedophile until proven otherwise.

And even then, any supposed evidence of their innocence should be suspect.

Really, it's just much be easier to assume that they are all pedophiles.

You'll be right far more often than you're wrong.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 24 points 23 hours ago

If they sit down at the table with them, or allowed them to sit there, they are one.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 13 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Does it even matter if they’re pedophiles?

Being an oligarchs is magnitudes larger of a crime.

[–] limonfiesta@lemmy.world 34 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, it does.

For starters, it matters because their crimes have victims. So saying those crimes don't matter means those victims don't matter.

Additionally, it's incredibly helpful for public framing and understanding, especially for the people who aren't inclined to hold their immense wealth against them.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

Are there really people who would turn on them if they're pedophiles but not if they’re fucking all of us? Seems the later would be easier to convince people of.

The kid raping seems like a symptom of their power, not an independent disease. Cure them of that, and they won’t be able to get away with hurting people.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Pedophilia is no respecter of any demographic. It's a serious mental illness and a serious public health issue, mental and otherwise. Oligarchy just means it's easier to pay off the people who would segregate pedofiles from society until intensive treatment and proscribed legal remedies are met.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, we have in place ways to deal with pedophiles. But those with power have means to circumvent it. Take away their power, and they’d be treated like the rest of the pedophiles. The bigger problem is their power.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 4 points 22 hours ago

The thing is that pedophilia and child rape are two different things. Oligarchs don't rape children because they're sexually attracted to their young bodies. They do it because they get off on destroying vulnerable people with impunity.

Children are just the most vulnerable demographic.

I really dislike framing child molestation as a symptom of power, as if anyone with such power would practice child molestation.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

as if anyone with such power would practice child molestation.

It's starting to seem that way to me.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 12 hours ago

Sure seems like it tho.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

What about: Those who would molest a child will do so if they have power. I believe that would also cover non-oligarchs.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 19 hours ago

Yes there really are. Some days it makes sense to me, some days it doesn't, but the Epstein thing is the only thing that cuts through Fox News.

[–] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago

If we just kill them all to be safe that would be best. The overall impact on the world population would be insignificant

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 4 points 21 hours ago

Anyone who had wealth, or had access to wealth equal to $50 million today (or more) since the 1980s should be thoroughly investigated, period, and if connections are found, any and all wealth confiscated, and used for foundations and programmes supporting victims of child/sex trafficking, exploited women, women's health research, and so on.

Don't! Be evil.

[–] donut4ever@sh.itjust.works 21 points 20 hours ago

At this point, it's actually easier to just list the ones who aren't on it. We need a complete fresh start. Like a complete wipeout of a full class of "people" to cleanse the planet from them. This is disgusting.

[–] oldscratchXV@lemmy.world 33 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

How is that remotely mildly infuriating? That is just regular infuriating. Start riots and pull out guillotines infuriating.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 11 points 23 hours ago

I think it's because it's so common? We're all becoming numb to the corruption.

[–] rodneylives@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Long ago he worked with Sergey Brin to develop PageRank, the revolutionary web search engine, all so someday his life would put him in contact with Jeffery Epstein.

It could still be hunted and its children put out of their misery and its line extincted
