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.

    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.

    Trump lost, but when he racked up a bunch of felonies, found guilty of rape, and deep connections with Jeffery Epstein’s sex-trafficking operations… well America decided to give him another shot. I’m super curious what the textbooks aren’t going to say.

    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.
