Got some reports about this post. I'm leaving it up as no rules have been broken and this community is about discussions of movies which this post is, whether you agree with its message or not. I, myself, don't agree with anything involving Jim Caviezel as he seems to have gone full QAnon, but since this movie is in wide release in theaters, it deserves to have a place to be discussed, as long as that discussion remains civil. OP's post history doesn't indicate that they are a troll, so as long as no rules get broken, this post can stay. Please report if any racism, trolling, or insults are noticed. Also feel free to DM if you would like to discuss further.

Where is this Qanon connect proof? Nothing in you article shows proof. It's all claims. Plus the author of the article is podcaster and not a news write or actually journalist with sources to back up her claims.

[-] Kichae@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

What would your standard of proof be for this?

[-] Sans_outside@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Who about Tom actually testify in front of Congress on his work of stop sex trafficking. Which lead to Congress passing laws allowing the federal government to work with other countries to stop child trafficking.

[-] Kichae@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

That... Isn't stating your standard of proof.

I'm curious what it would take to convince you otherwise, not what it took to convince you of your current stance.

A movie about how sex slave/children trafficking is a bad thing is a terrible movie and if you like the film. You're a crazy right winger. I really don't get you people. But you're not bad person.

@hal_5700X @Sans_outside More to the point, it's right-wingers who are usually complicit in enabling these monsters.

[-] Sans_outside@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Who down votes a movie about how terrible child trafficking is.

[-] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Everyone who knows it's a Qanon dog whistle?

[-] Sans_outside@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

How, show actually poof.

Plus this is a movie area not a political.

Ballard stated to The New York Times "Some of these theories have allowed people to open their eyes. So now it's our job to flood the space with real information so the facts can be shared."

Even the Wikipedia article sources the New York Times, BuzzFeedNews, and Slate, as well as Vice (which you won't accept).

Do a basic search and you get things like this, Falling Down: The Demise of Tim Ballard and Operation Underground ... , Operation Underground Railroad under criminal investigation - FOX 13 Utah , The Great (Fake) Child-Sex-Trafficking Epidemic - The Atlantic

It is absolutely political garbage

[-] Sans_outside@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

American Crime Journal is not a source I would trust.

[-] Kichae@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

What are sources you would trust?

Anti-Trafficking Group With Long History of False Claims Gets Its Hollywood Moment from Motherboard

[-] Sans_outside@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Wow, it's just amazing how a movie about sex slave trafficking can be turn some how political. Everything in the article you posted is political talky points. It not about. Left or right the movie is about the traffic of children. Vice is also a terrible source that is only political motivated.

I thought this sub was about movies not politics.

[-] Kichae@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Everything is political. Movies are deeply and inherently political, and that has nothing to do with anyone thinking that human trafficking is ok.

If you don't see and acknowledge the politics of popular media, you just end up eating cultural propaganda.

So will people go after Tom Cruise new MI movie for him being a Scientologis.

[-] Kichae@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Yes? You're aware that some people don't watch Tom Cruise movies because of his association with Scientology, aren't you?

But also, some people won't watch Misison Impossible movies because they're CIA-supported, America imperialism propaganda films.

Many others will watch them, making informed decisions about the politics of what they're viewing, and even more will watch them while being completely blind to them.

I'm not sure what you think "politics" is, but I can tell that whatever that may be, it's wrong.

@TwoGems @Sans_outside Jim Caviezel has joined Hollywood's insane asylum where Randy Quaid, Jon Voight, Kevin Sorbo, James Woods and other angry, loudmouth middle-aged racist white men reside.
