Children are great tools for oppression. All you have to do is say “but what about the children” and any argument against you is going to look villainous.

It’s why every time there’s a social rights movement, the minority gets labelled as violent, rapist, paedophiles. See current state of the fight of trans rights.

the past 1800 years

In the early 2nd century, the Roman satirist Lucian writes a story in which a guy facing imprisonment for molesting a young boy instead finds safe haven among the Christian church. Just a small detail in a larger story, but certainly fitting with the evidence of the institution since.

And Paul, the guy who never met Jesus but co-opted his movement, had a habit of referring to himself as the Father of others, and calling others his children, and was attended by a much younger man named Timothy, and normalized kissing on the mouth as a greeting in four separate letters (behavior you'll often see among archival footage of known pedophiles in the modern age such as Jimmy Savile).

So it may have gone all the way back to the unmarried guy attended by a young boy having people call him Daddy and kissing them on the mouth who was routinely getting thrown out of towns by angry mobs, which is even further back than 1800 years...

It’s important to note here that Catholics helped elect Trump in ‘16 and did their damnedest to re-elect him in ‘20.

Exactly. This is directly due to Elon's involvement and I wish the media would make that clear. They usually show his tweet in the article, so I have no idea why they're being coy.

Pedo just means like, cool guy or something. Elon just thought this account was posting cool stuff /s

And it totally wasn't projection

Like at all

And, insanely, got away with it.

600 likes!!! Every one of those assholes should have their account suspended as well

It was blurred/censored as mentioned in the article. It talks about what some organizations consider CSAM, but without seeing their guidelines or how it violated them it's hard to say.

Because for some reason this country absolutely loves this shit.

We like in backwards times.

I think you’re far too willing to believe that every consequence of his actions is somehow intended and desired, like he’s playing 4D chess to acquire magic Attention Coins that are somehow going to translate into wealth and power later. The truth is that Elon is an impulsive idiot easily swayed by other idiots on the right, and this negative attention is only going to make it harder for him to ever make back the money he invested in Twitter, which in turn will tank Tesla.

On the contrary, this is the type of attention they need. The more twitter and conservatives become associated with child rape, the more toxic both become and the better for us all in the long run.

If they are trying to use this to be profitable and grab sponsors, I don't see how that works. This is newsworthy, even though I agree that Twitter talk is getting old.
