Not sure if baiting, or if actually avatar level of mind bending.
I happen to also believe that having a friendship with a paedophile doesn't automatically make someone a paedophile. However, to have the type of relationship that trump and epstein had and to claim complete ignorance of his crimes is absurd. Trump, obviously knew about epstein and maxwells activities and if he didn't actively participate, he passively accepted it and covered it up for decades.
And as the saying goes if 9 people sit at a table and a paedophile sits down and none of them say anything, there are 10 paedophiles at the table.

I really don't like this argument. There's a big difference between not reporting something and being complicit in that something.
For example, my neighbor smokes pot, and likely does so illegally. If I don't report them, does that make me a pot smoker? No, that's absurd! I personally don't agree w/ the drug law despite having no desire to use marijuana, so there's absolutely no reason for me to report them.
That said, if my neighbor was a pedophile, I would report them. Why? Because I want to protect kids, and getting the police involved is the best way to do that. So if there are 9 people at a table and a pedophile sits down and none says anything, there's still one pedophile, but also 9 pedophile enablers. I don't think those people should be guilty by association, but I do believe they are shirking their moral responsibility.
As you yourself say, if we're talking about the systematic trafficking and molestation of children, silence is complicity. There's a world of difference between a crime that literally doesn't harm anyone and what epstein was doing.
I've seen this exact same text written to look like a real comment on three different platforms now...
when the pedo sex crime conspiracy theorists finally are proven right... the new conspiracy theory is that it was all just a hoax and there's no deep state or pedo trafficking rings despite mounting evidence
mighty convenient
If you see more you should screenshot them and make a collage so we can all see the propaganda machine at work a little clearer
You think that it's a foreign influence operation or just the same dude?
Excellent
woah. so what does it mean and what did I just perpetuate by posting it here?
Trump anons on 4chan.
Anon is a moron
Well yeah. That's the point of 4chan, brains need not apply.
There are vanishingly few generalisations a person can make on the internet and have any chance of being correct. This one, though, you're bang-on right every time.
A glowing moron
How about this: release the files so we can know instead of speculating. If he's in the files, let him explain himself in front of a judge.
Where @DonaldJMusk@lemmy.today gets his opinions. What an asshole.
Who is anon quoting here? Because his text is green, but he's clearly not greentexting.
I assumed from the greentext and the thumbnail they were mocking other anons. it was a thread making fun of the pedo cope on 4chan but the veneer of "irony" is so schizo that I can't really keep track any more
Wasn't that how 4chan turned to the right? At first it was irony, until enough idiots were there to take it seriously.
Kind of like https://xkcd.com/591/
Pretty much people kept joking about Trump being a God King until it wasn't a joke.
When the greentext is just green text
Didn't know you could have an Ancapistan flag next to your name on 4chan. Really underlines how much of a child fucker OOP must be.
Greentext
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
