It was the only way she could get the body mod she wanted without seeming weird

theres techinically no rule that says a dog cant be the Acting US Attorney

he clearly feels the justified anger of a scorned ex and not the shame of *a rich guy who took advantage of a teenager who later escaped him*

it's always dudes with 0 rizz who are giddy when a teen gets a crush on them, rather than being weirded out and setting a boundary. its normal for teens to feel that way abt an adult, but unbelivably pathetic and predatory for the adult to then see that teen as a romantic prospect. that's a child!

so yes they're hypocrites if you assume they mean it when they say they want to "protect children". but really what they are are lying delusional opportunistic zealots. its terrifying that we allowed these people to touch real levers of power, and its 0% surprising they are now defending Epstien

to normal people reducing human suffering in the here and now is the most urgent moral imperative, and explaining with data why a policy will cause or reduce suffering is a persuasive argument. but christofascists morality bears no resemblance to our morality. its ends/means all the way down

'everyone will suffer eternal torment unless we sieze power and impose christ through force'--so all things are justifiable in accumulating power, and all crimes of their leaders are forgivable in service to them holding power. they see themselves as crusaders. they cannot be negotiated with

"Hell" as a concept exists as the ultimate moral trump card to ends/means ppl into compliance and committing extraordanary atrocities. It also flattens all "earthly" suffering as equally insignificant. This is hard to comprehend for ppl whos moral compass is guided by reducing human suffering

bc they want to be treated like feudal lords fawned over by supplicants. if there is no social safety net then losing your job is a death sentence for you and your children. they want to be able to sentence ppl who displease them to death. they want total control and subservience.
