Maybe we can meet halfway and target billionaires instead?

That really relies on their ability to accurately identify a pedo. The moral panic in which people are being called pedos for anything and nothing is still going on even though we have learned that the Epstein conspiracy was huge and horrible.
Now if they only targeted the people heavily present in the files, yeah probably they’d be seen as heroic

I’m all for returning fire in the class war, I just really don’t want everyone the populist right accuses of pedophilia to get attacked, because that’s everyone.

MAGAs are ALL pedos.
ameancow@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
Most MAGA are just dumbfucks who would change their “values” 180-degrees if given the right emotional narrative to follow, they’re literally just children themselves, clad in machismo and vile rhetoric.
The evil pedo-aligned people who need to be targeted (with legal repercussions) are the grifters and pipers all over youtube, twitter, cable news and radio.
We really need to be careful about this "kill all pedos’ narrative while living in a climate where they are working feverishly to label basically anyone they don’t like but especially LGBTQ+ people as “pedophiles.”

MAGAs are all Pedophiles. I won’t pretend otherwise because you’re afraid of what they MIGHT do in response. Surrendering in advance is what got us here.
ALL MAGAs are Pedophiles, and it’s time to get on board with it. I’m really, really sick of this Liberal obsession with being POLITE to literally the most evil people on our planet. They are psychotic, they hate us irrationally over their own fantasy bullshit, and they literally want to KILL US ALL!
Stop demanding that we be polite to them. GET ANGRY!

Stop demanding that we be polite to them
This is entirely projection about what I said, I am not a liberal nor advocating for being “polite” I am simply warning you that these “All X’s are pedophiles” is dangerous rhetoric that is just black-and-white as their rhetoric so beware. There are very good reasons we need to be smarter than them. Re-read what I said exactly and take a breather. I know how frustrating it is, but this isn’t a tit-for-tat game or we end up in ruin and violence and without a “good guy” side to fall back on.
Whatever happens, we still have to live next to millions and millions of people who you might label so casually so we need better solutions and not dividing lines. If Trump dies tomorrow, all of these people will be desperate for a new narrative, and we can USE that energy to push them in the right direction and get actual movement to attack capital… or we can get vindictive and stuck in the trenches arguing about fucking words with a group of people who won’t remember your argument tomorrow. Let’s be smart.
History should be a very glaring example of how this can go bad if you think with your feelings instead of thinking about your feelings.

Now now, let’s not use the tactics of the vulgar and immoral in a moral war.
Some of them are just really fucking stupid.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 12 hours ago
Hard No. If you support, defend, protect, and vote for Pedos, you’re a Pedo. You don’t get to say, “I was too stupid.” Pedos are Pedos, no matter how stupid they are. That’s part of the problem, evil smart people think it’s okay to be Pedos, because they’re smarter, richer, and better than everybody else.
If you’re MAGA, you’re a Pedophile.
LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 12 hours ago
No. Literally, some are just fucking stupid being swayed by peopaganda and a lack of insight on what’s actually happening.
When everyone is out to find enemies, the last thing you should want is to appear just as bull-headed and judgemental as the Nazis trying to paint entire other groups as bad.
To other ignorant morons that aren’t supporting MAGA, you make it harder to distinguish who the good guys are when you are doing just as much guilt by association.

Stop giving them any benefit of the doubt, stop pretending their innocent little children that don’t know any better. They are full grown adults who are culpable in their associations, and choices.
Republicans have chosen to associate with rapists and child rapists. Has chosen to defend them, and give them shelter.
Republicans/maga are child rapists.
LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 12 hours ago
Oh I’m not. It was two things:
A joke to call them fucking stupid, which they are.
A plea to not use the same exact logic a fucking stupid person does. When the Paradox of Tolerance is in full swing, the last thing you want to do is appear to be no different than a Nazi in blanket judgement to a dumbass third party.
There is a reason there were Nuremberg trials and not just mass executions of Nazis.

The people who started calling other people pedos were all pedos themselves, it’s called a diversion

Just decide that anyone with a net worth over a certain amount is a pedo, and if they don’t want to be labeled and hunted as such, they need to publicly denounce the other rich pedos.
Dojan@pawb.social 14 hours ago
Anyone over a certain networth is evil of some kind anyway, so pedo or not it’s still a safe bet.
