I'm not going to put the entire article here because my phone gets weird when I try to copy the whole thing. Instead. Here's how it ends

If, after reading the series, you feel I have oversold the pitch, and have enticed you with a “false promise,” feel free to sue me for “trafficking” — you’ll probably win.

Based on that quote, without reading it, I divine that his "point" is that lying to someone to get them to travel for sex isn't "reeeallly" trafficking.

That. But also: Trafficking isn't even a real crime, "sex trafficker" and especially "child sex traffickers" are political smears, and also prostitution and trafficking gets conflated so trafficking isn't that bad.

Michael Tracey is a piece of work.

I cannot imagine what it must be like to sit down at a computer, type that out, and somehow think it's a valuable contribution to the world.

Trying to think of a way to work nonce or paedophile into "Michael Tracey" and coming up blank

It's a little forced, kind of like all of Michael Tracey's interactions with women, so stalin-approval

People helping refugees across the border are regularly called human traffickers.

[-] Keld@hexbear.net 19 points 3 days ago

They sure are. Michael Tracey is not going to bat for those people.
