It's satire from Elijah Manley.

Isn't pedophilia just the attraction, not necessarily acting on it? I don't think people should be punished (especially not with the death penalty) based on thoughts alone. There should have to be some action.

Absolutely.

Besides, I don't get why the correct terms like "child abuser/molester/rapist" are used so infrequently. They are strong enough and they represent the nature of a crime much better.

Yes, and we should really be using much more direct and affecting terms like "child rapist" and "child sex trafficker" to describe people like the president. It's less euphemistic. Calling a person who has raped children a "pedophile" seems like minimization to me.

Absolutely. We dont call regular rapists "heterosexuals"

It's a diagnosis and there are clinical criteria. The term is used inaccurately more often then not. While colloquial and domain definitions often differ, I think I agree with the other commenter: the language people use should be more direct and visceral.

The comment I were looking for as a past victim who were pdfjacketed and moelested then as a child👌🏼thank you (all those stuff gave me really unwanted inner stuff and did some stuff I will regret later and before getting moelested too but just my pdf"-phobic" abusers made me do more. We need edu even if the toughts turned into actions sadly or just toughts alone rn before shit happens)(Ik no one asked for a dump but this is my stuff to share)

Teacher teacher! She said bad word!

That’s not a threat. “The death penalty” is a lawful punishment carried out by the state in response to conviction of certain crimes, not mob violence (technically). Just because the end result is death, does not mean that prescribing it is a threat, just like how “you should die of pancreatic cancer” isn’t a threat.

Now I’ve got to go shower after saying that the death penalty isn’t mob violence.

If it makes you feel any better it's not mob violence, it just shares the worst aspects of it. Emotion driven desire for vengeance.
It's not a defense of the death penalty to recognize that it's deliberate, planned, and applied under the auspices of the law. It just makes the law look a little worse.

That is true, though. Mob violence doesn't care about evidence, the law, proportionality to the crime, or the victims. It's terrorism built around emotional and fear responses. Lynchings were not the same as a judge amd jury weighing out the death penalty vs. life in prison. Depending on the court, one can even appeal the death penalty ruling, and new evidence can overturn the ruling if there's time.

so MAGA can threaten the president and it's cool? Smh.

MAGA didn't even have a good reason for it. Trump raped kids.

Despite this, they paid real money to put shit like this on their trucks:

They can even do an insurrection and all be let out of jail.

I mean, the US President has 34 felonies at least, so they're in the same kind of company
