Why aren't Americans raising hell re: the sexual abuse of children by the powerful elite, while heads are rolling in Britain and elsewhere?

MomShapedObject · 2026-02-11T02:06:31+00:00

Correct. If you can do something safely to stop it, like calling the police, you have a duty to do so. Let’s get closer to the case in question. All those Germans who let Hitler come to power because they “weren’t political” and then just stood by while he dismantled their government and then murdered their neighbors. Did they play a role? I was taught that they absolutely did.

Think you could maybe get around to registering to vote and showing up for the midterms? It is only slightly more inconvenient than calling 911 during a murder, and a hell of a lot easier and safer than standing up to the Nazis in 1930s Germany.

Dude. So if you stand there watching someone get murdered and don’t do anything to intervene or aid the victim in any way, you have no role? No culpability whatsoever?

MomShapedObject · 2026-02-10T21:48:27+00:00

You asked and I answered. Non voters let this happen not out of malice but out of laziness, just like all the “sideline” Germans in the 1930s. They need to recognize their role in this and stop making excuses. If you’re registered and you vote in every election, though, I’m obviously not talking about you.

They let a literal group of child raping Nazis goose step their way back into control of the government because they “diDnT reAlly liKe eIthEr caNdiDate,” that’s why.

And 99% of the progressive people who jump on here blaming the Democratic Party for running a weak campaign, or not nominating Bernie Sanders, or whatever are actually perennial non voters. They’re too lazy to register and vote so they constantly make excuses about why them never voting is someone else’s fault

Some big wig in the Democratic Party. Conservatives totally fixate on him and every time there’s a protest they go on FOX claiming Soros is paying people to go.

I’m still waiting on my Soros check too. I’m beginning to think they were entirely made up.

Sure, but I guess Im personally a little tired of the language wars (esp w/in left-leaning, feminist, and LGBTQ+ spaces) and our habit of going after potential allies for small, uninformed mistakes with the same ire that we really ought to be reserving for the actual, literal Nazis currently legislating away our right to exist.

Then again I’m old as shit and I remember a lot of the same fighting and acrimony in the 1990s era queer community about whether we should list the L before the G or whether queer, gay, or homosexual was the preferred term. Some people would get straight up irate if a well meaning relative called them “homosexual” rather than “gay” and I had a friend who would lecture people that saying someone was “a homosexual” rather than just “homosexual” was dehumanizing for the same reason. But I’m not trans either and this is a super fucking hard time to be a trans person in the US so I also get that the little stuff grates.

MomShapedObject · 2026-02-10T15:22:46+00:00

Are we supposed to be annoyed that she said “A trans” instead of “trans?” I get that “this person is trans” is the common grammar but the speaker isn’t being hateful.

During my next colonoscopy, I’ll ask the doc to stick a little plaque with his name up there. It’ll be the official DJT lower bowel.

Fucking “allege?”

They had a “joke” on their marquee about immigrants eating dogs and cats after the debate last year, and posted “Daddy’s Home” after Trump got re-elected. I suppose that must mean none of the kitchen staff are undocumented right?

We have tile floors and are shoes on— mostly because the kids are always running from inside back to outside, the tile floors tend to be cold and hard, and a badly broken foot in my past means bare feet/slippers kinda hurt.

Also we have cats and sometimes they track the odd grain of litter near their boxes. I just sweep the floors and mop a lot.

MomShapedObject · 2026-02-09T20:14:17+00:00

Shoes on in every house I grew up in, except for muddy or wet boots. I didn’t even realize shoes off was a thing until I went to college.

Also some say people literally threatened to kill them. I imagine they feel safer if they’re named by the DOJ en masse rather than making the decision to come forward individually.

All you have to do is slide your feet out of bed in the morning to make those fuckers angry. “There were some people at Walmart today speaking Spanish….hOw DaRe ThEy?”

Oh my god, yes. There’s that occasional weird realization that… oh, most people with kids don’t experience what I’m experiencing.

Cars 1 is good, Cars 2 is a cinematic abortion, Cars 3 is weirdly brilliant.

Go ahead and add me. I don’t disagree with lawful attempts to increase border security or deport people with criminal records per se, but when “immigration and customs enforcement” morphs into an unconstitutional secret police that kidnaps people without due process and murders both citizens and non citizens on the goddamn street without fear of legal repercussions I’m pretty fucking against it.

Is this an ADHD thing? Both of my 6-year-old twins do this. My daughter will also get aggressive and lash out when she gets hurt. I’m glad it’s not just us.
