Internet? That’s enough humanity. We had a… run. Time to burn it all down.

fwiw, I think this is their actual endgame: use digital to convince people this isn't a small cabal of the ultrawealthy causing so much of this harm.

They say dictators don't need majority support, only a majority of people doubting themselves.

At least 56,575 children are sexually abused every year.

That’s according to U.S. child protective services records.

The number is staggering—yet it only reflects child sexual abuse that is recognized, reported, and found likely to have occurred against children ages 0-17.

FBI crime data shows that 51% of reported rape is perpetrated against people ages 0-19.

That’s approximately 61,754 young rape victims every year, including our most vulnerable children, adolescents navigating middle and high school, and young adults just beginning to move through the world with more independence.

It’s really not a small cabal of the ultrawealthy though.

That are trying to normalize AI nudifying apps usable on kids?

That are trying to normalize pedophilia.

I doubt that group would be very significant if it weren’t for the outsized influence of a handful of very wealthy, decadent men. At the very least there would be fewer roadblocks to doing something about the rest of the pervs.

fewer roadblocks to doing something about the rest of the pervs.

There are very few roadblocks for rapists as it is.

That’s what I said

When what passes for the leader of the “free world” is a spearhead for pedophilia it’s kind of a bit late to be safe talking about “normalizing” stuff.

Well yeah, that’s why it’s so silly to see comments about how these people at the top are trying to normalize it. It already is, they’re already in power, they’re not going anywhere.

Humanity’s fine if we ripped down these over-paid pedos instead of allowed them to run billion dollar scams…

Don’t wait standing

(I dont know if this translates, in argentina we day “get yourself a chair” or “don’t wait standing” meaning that something wont happen)

I think we say, “don’t hold your breath,” in English.

Or “don’t count on it” (because if you did you’d be counting for eternity)

I’m sure there’s more I’m not thinking of right now…

“Why don’t you wish in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills up first”

… yeah, I like the chair one

Well I know what phrase I’m using at the next opportunity

When I was a kid I thought the saying was “why don’t you piss in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills first?” And I was like wow adults are gross

idk which hand you’d fill first doing that method, lmao

It’s basically just a crass way to say “wishing is for suckers”

It works. I’m going to start using it in fact.

The meaning of the idiom is remarkably clear in English. I propose we adopt this one.

Ah, in English we say “don’t hold your breath” for that, although sometimes it’s also used for things that might happen eventually but it will take a long time.

Better pull the plug on that bell, because “it’s here to stay”, some people says proudly.
