Okay, we need the actual "tweet" of Omar and the RNC Research "tweet" in an archive form. Is xcancel working for everyone else? I know it's a lot to ask, so everyone else, please help. Everyone has an hour.
Nope.
fixed
Thank ye
The headline is written that way because Omar's full statement was:
The leader of the Pedophile Protection Party is trying to deflect attention from his name being all over the Epstein files.
At least in Somalia they execute pedophiles not elect them.
Kumar is lying by omission to make the joke work.
Plus, she said "In Somalia, they..." and he quoted her as saying "In Somalia, we..."
Good catch. So many layers of propaganda it's hard to notice and resist them all.
Nevertheless, "RNC Research[sic]" is answering to "Pedophile Protection Party." They could have claimed they aren't protecting pedophiles and so it must have been referring to some other party and not them, but that's not the part of the statement they're objecting to.
Since you put it in scare quotes, here's what RNC Research is. (MS NOW is an openly biased opinion source, but it shouldn't take a lot of convincing that this is an obvious MAGA propaganda account.)
Anyway, the MAGA propaganda account that is RNC Research is answering to the full Omar quote, which is transparently directed at Trump. I'm not going to abide the doublethink of "Mainstream media needs to stop letting Trump and the far-right skirt responsibility for their statements by dressing them up in plausible deniability; they need to state what he's obviously, actually saying" (they do, and I see that sentiment here all the time) and "Wow, this account is calling Trump a pedophile by cutting through the plausible deniability speak and acknowledging who literally everyone knows Omar meant when she said this."
Even if I were somehow delusional enough at this point to think Trump is not a child rapist, it's still trivially obvious who Omar means, and pretending otherwise is grossly disingenuous. You don't inherently have to believe an insult to recognize who's being insulted.
It’s still incorrect of them to say that representative Omar called for Trump’s execution. She said “At least in Somalia they execute pedophiles” and then RNC Research changed it to “At least in Somalia we execute pedophiles.” Also, her point isn’t that Trump should be executed, but that Trump should be punished rather than rewarded by being elected president and given the power to protect pedophiles like himself
Oh but posting an AI slop pic of Obama as a monkey is just fine? Fuck maga and fuck their double standards
She said "they” not "we".
These fucking disingenuous assholes
I mean it's a good idea.
Eh, there are definitely pedophiles who will never touch a child or consume CSAM. People who have an attraction to children should be allowed to seek help without fear of being killed.
A decent chunk of sex crimes are motivated by exerting power over the weak, rather than sexual attraction.
But the second they harm a child or consume CSAM, execution is warranted.
Sorry I was responding to "Ilhan Omar calls to execute president Trump".
People who seek help and don't abuse anyone are ok.
If I'm being absolutely fair, I can also see how, if a pedophile knows that they are caught being a pedophile that the death penalty is assured, then there is the chance that they will simply kill their victims because there is a chance that they will simply get life in prison instead of being executed for their crimes.
Maybe as an alternative, the person who commits pedophilia loses everything they own to their victim. Trump would no longer be a billionaire, he would be a poor schmuck that used to have a TV show that literal tens of millions of Americans despise to their very soul.
Pedophilia isn't a verb, though. My point was that there is a difference between someone attracted to children and a child rapist (even though it makes me feel gross to make the point). Being attracted to children doesn't mean you'll ever act on that attraction.
Without them harming children or consuming material whose production harmed children, punishing them is basically punishing thought crime. I think everyone who wants to get help so they never do it should be able to.
But I do agree that the death penalty could have the effect you described. I love your solution.
I'd even argue that many or even most of the people who went to Epstein's island probably weren't pedophiles in the medical/psychological sense. I don't think that the victims being children was the point for most of the perpetrators, but rather the power and taboo aspects of it. This is pretty consistent with research on child rape, too, though obviously most subjects in the research aren't rich, which might change the findings.
For sure. A lot of sex crimes aren't about sexual attraction, they're about exerting their power over someone weaker than them.
Would be nice if there was term that lumped in those who sexually abuse minors directly (regardless of the person's attractions) and those who consume CSAM that wasn't simultaneously the term to describe the sexual or romantic attraction to children. But any attempt at trying to separate the two frequently seems to be portrayed as somehow defending those who abuse children or some similar baseless accusation.
Still agree with the intended message of Ilhan (although perhaps execution is perhaps to forgiving to those involved with Epstein).
Execution is barbaric. Lock them up instead. Let's be better than the lowest common dominator.
Republicans: So by making a pedophile president, we are the opposite of Somalia? Excellent.
THEY not WE.
Even her defenders and allies "other" her. FFS
Why do people compromise their ideals of humanity for a pedophile? They do major harm, yes. But what is to gain from killing them?
The death penalty must not exist. And everyone must be given opportunity for redemption.
I disagree. Purely for the fact that some of the most powerful and influential people on this planet are engaged with a global child sex trafficking ring and are wholly committing to maintaining it. Their connections run the legal systems they would be tried in. If convicted and jailed, their connections also run the prison systems.
There is no salvaging this situation with these people. They are willing to rape, torture, and murder those they deem are disposable and their opposition. You can't pose that we live in a just society with them still living. Ideally, maybe, gen-pop like everyone else. But we know better, we clearly see some of them CURRENTLY getting preferential treatment while they are supposed to be in a maximum security prison.
My morals are intact and uncompromised. Rather than asking what is gained from their deaths; what is lost with them still living? What influence do/will they exert even if rightfully imprisoned?
You don't heal a rotten festering limb, you remove it. I won't dehumanize these people. They are, unfortunately, just as much human as you or me. However, where you and I may wax philosophical about morals and civil society, they have sought to pursue corruption with no concept of a bottom. They have put every effort in place to escape justice and are fully aware of every criminal act they committed.
They have forfeited any good will that ought to be extended.
There's a billion other reasons Trump deserves the death penalty including committing multiple genocides.
Fool me once, fool me twice. If you are repeating the behaviors that you know are wrong/illegal/harmful, how many times does it take to show you aren't trying?
If you're choosing to harm other people because you enjoy it?
Death penalty for all? No. Permanent penalty for those showing no remorse and repeat offenders? Yes.
what is to gain from killing them?
Uh, safety for vulnerable children?
And some people don't deserve a chance for redemption by the way.. there's plenty of proof that when evil people (murders, rapists, etc) are released, they do the exact same evil again, which begs the same question: what's to gain from killing them?
Safety for all the victims they will claim.
Strongly disagree with the second part there. People like Mussolini deserved it.
Eeeeh... No. The only reason you might want to not execute them is so they don't kill their victims. But the damage they cause...
No. I wish we still had the guillotine just for them. But Robert Badinter pleaded well enough that we let a child killer live the restbof his days in a cell, paid by us, because apparently it was too brutal to kill a guy who rolled the body of a kid in a carpet under his bed. Fuck that noise.
I agree that the death penalty shouldn’t exist, but I think what she’s saying is that at least they’re getting punished instead of rewarded with power
It doesn't seem like she's explicitly advocating for that, but saying that pedos are getting off way too easily in the usa, whereas they would have been executed in somalia.
(preface: I agree that trump has done multiple executable offenses)
She tweeted "we execute pedophiles not elect them." While retweeting a Trump quote, so it's kinda clear who she was referring to without any admission of his pedophilia.
No, she didn't tweet that. She didn't say "we," she's an American citizen.
She said "they".
Very important use of language in this context.
