The problem is, they are going for low hanging fruit by targeting unknowns with little to no representation.

Catholic priests have the full force of the Catholic Church to protect them from legal attacks that some dinky YouTuber will not be able to combat.

Also, Catholic priests do not need to go on dating apps or websites where they could potentially get lured because they are most likely targeting the children in their parish, under their direct control.

Well, there’s this case.

There are cases of arsonist fire fighters which is an even stronger analogy.

Those who claim to fight fires are often the ones setting them, so they can be seen as the heroes who extinguish them.

There was a similar case that happened on a college campus in America. Five 18 year -old students, all of whom can legally consent, lured a guy toward the dorms through a dating app. When he arrived, the students swarmed him with phones out calling him a pedophile. They are now being charged.

Eh, I don’t find it hilarious as much as I find it extremely unsurprising. Mussolini had been clamoring to merge corporations with the state in order to implement fascism.

These are your corporate fucks forcefully merging themselves as the state.

I’m going to be honest, I’m suspicious of every single ‘pedophile hunter’. They are going after a demographic that people will not rush to defend, even if innocent.

Also, these ‘hunters’ probably have something shady going on in their own lives, and this is some form of projection that they also profit off of.

What if the balloons were long and vertical like the ones in Dune? That could allow them to walk closer to one another.

Sure, but that was before almost every app was a Nazi app.

I got hella bees that come and pollinate these holly shrubs in my backyard

Why? They can be just as stupidly racist.

Yes, let all the empires fall. By default, boycotting goods made by slave labor/colonization would apply to TEMU, Apple, etc.

You right lol

It’s not whataboutism when my entire ideology is anti-nationalism. You don’t get it, do you? I want all of the Western imperialist nations to collapse, including the European ones.

Your rhetoric is weak and outdated, still viewing the world through borders. You think Musk gives a fuck about borders? Grow up.

Right. But, I’m an American who strives to boycott goods produced by slave labor and/or colonization by my own government because I believe class solidarity transcends borders.

The BuyEuropean movement is largely nationalistic and uninterested in class solidarity. Don’t get me wrong, I think the entire world should be boycotting American goods. Let the empire collapse, please.

But, boycotting American goods while still exploiting the Global South for centuries is not a flex.

Does this mean Europeans will also boycott goods that they steal from the 17 countries they still have colonized?

No? Oh.

You’re right which is why I gravitated toward Alamo Drafthouse which makes some attempt to crack down on phone use or excessive disruption during a movie. But, ticket and concession prices on top of parking are becoming more of a luxury each day.

Yea lmao. Obviously they don’t care during sing-a-long and quote-a-long events.

Yea, except they don’t tolerate one being on their phone.

Yea, why would I drive to a theater, pay for parking, pay for tickets, pay for concessions, and no one is fully paying attention to the film?

I might as well stay comfy at home, stream on discord for free, eat my already paid for food, and save a shit ton of money without becoming overstimulated by strangers.
