    reddit also kinda encourages, via the medical subs, people are posting themselves getting sliced open, and people are morbidly fascinated by it.

    That seems like a good thing to inquire about. Disappointed that when I hear about the FBI now I assume they are up to no good.

      They’re investigating the group to see if they can pick up any sweet grooming protips

      Are the competent or incompetent agents working on this?

        If the former they’ll soon be fired. If the latter they’ll soon have new recruits.

      Sounds like the investigation started under Biden. If they shut it down now, they’ll look (even more) like they cover for pedos.

      I thought Trump fired most of them

      The modern FBI has been plenty apolitical. 01/06 was the largest investigation they had ever deployed. While they’re still cops at some level, they seem to be professionals above all else.

      OTOH, with Patel at the head, I’m sure the poison is running deeper and deeper.

    Strange. I didn’t see a single mention of drag queens or trans people in there.

    In this FBI, it’s not an inquiry, it’s recruiting.

    Online group started by a 15 year old in Texas playing Minecraft and watching extreme gore they said in this article. Were they also involved in said sexual exploiting of other kids, or was that just the spin offs that came from other people/countries? It all sounds terrible but I wonder if this was just a kid who did something for attention and then other perpetrators got involved and kept taking it further and down other rabbit holes. Definitely seems like a know what your kid is doing online scenario, but also yikes on all the 18+ members who joined and participated in such.

    The people involved in these groups deserve to be thrown into the volcano.
