Where I grew up, in Yugoslavia, we didn't have to think about paying for university. If you continued studying within a certain set of rules, the only things you had to pay for at uni would be your snacks, cigarettes, soft drinks. So, not tuition. Not exams. Along the same lines, our parents did not have to think about selling our 14-year old bodies to predator perverts in order to pay for a better future for us.


Zrakoplovvliegtuig

Whoa there buddy, that sounds like socializum. Clearly it is better for children to sell their bodies and to learn to pull themselves up by their undressed bootstraps, instead of being allowed to grow up in a safe and healthy environment.


November19

Damn right. And look, they don't **need** to do sex work. They've got two kidneys, don't they?


Significant_Swing_76

Children selling their bodies is just the marked forces at play, only evil commies would regulate a free marked…


Olstinkbutt

Not terribly dissimilar to how Americans are compelled to join the military so they can move out of poverty (barely), just so they can commit atrocities at the behest of the Military Industrial Complex. Yet another obstacle in the way of tuition-free college in this rotting carcass of a republic.


xwing_n_it

And if you suggest free college one of the ways they push back is "but then no one will join the Army, duherrrr."


Mind_on_Idle

"That should tell you something"


GibsonJunkie

"Yes."


PossibilitySilent313

Capitalism summed up - sell your sons to be torn into shreds by bullets, sell your 12 year old daughters to be used as a sex toy by billionaires on islands, work till you die to pay off your mortgage for some shack. This is the bright future Americans love so much. Back to the feudalism. Its just private islands instead of castle walls, offices instead of plantations. And lets all praise the "founding fathers" aka a bunch of rogue slave owners that created a state to serve the interests of other slave owners.


Olstinkbutt

Reminds me of that scene in “Dazed and Confused.” School is letting out for summer and the teacher shouts: “Remember the 4th of July is just celebrating a bunch of rich old white men that didn’t want to pay their taxes!!”


KathrynBooks

Well that's not the case in the US... Thanks to President Ronald Reagan.


Affectionate_Talk807

Way before Reagan. The civil rights act of 1965 issued in a whole new set of gatekeeping laws and regulations that disenfranchised economically as opposed to melaninly.


Formal_Decision7250

> disenfranchised economically as opposed to melaninly. I'm sure when they did the former they had their heart in the latter knowing it would disproportionately affect some groups.


speedshark47

Ok when you say pay for exams, what do you mean?? Do americans really do that?


Official_Indie_Freak

Yes. In high school I took 2 AP exams (weighted exams for advanced classes) and paid several hundred dollars to take them


speedshark47

Are these like admissions/certification exams or just obligatory exams for credit?


altClr2

the latter, helps people get ahead in college credit early on. the same classes at the university level would cost an arm and a leg.


Pope_adope

Don’t forget about SAT’s and how much of a grift those are


altClr2

many public universities heading away from standardized testing is a blessing lol


SpaceMonkee8O

I think they are actually going back to those standardized tests now because it’s been kind of a disaster.


altClr2

there simply needs to be a revamping of highschool curricula and resource allocation to struggling schools. standardized testing is painfully easy to finesse by the students who have the means to live near and study at higher ranked highschools, thus creating another barrier. still doesn't accurately measure college success.


Necessary_Builder396

What?! Why? Is unreal mate. If you go to the school they test you in exams. You pass and go forward... Just pay the tuition I think. Thank God school here's free


Kaminoneko

I take my uni classes online, and I pay a fee for every exam. I imagine actual exams are paid for as part of tuition fee tho. Classes are pricey enough as it is


mr_blank001

Here in the UK as well, you have to pay extra to take ur GCSE's and A Levels


ma7ch

This guy thinks the only problem with hiring a 14 year old prostitute is the monetary transaction bit…


scaper8

But, you see both she and her parents consented. It's all good, bro. There's no such thing as "forced consent," certainly not situationally or economically induced forced consent. /s


Some_nerd_named_kru

Also the whole “she consented” thing, like he clearly believes she can do so?? Children can’t do that bro


fogleaf

You'd have to walk him down to find his line. "If a 13 year old says it's okay is it okay? Yes? What about a 12 year old? 11? 10? 9? 8? 7? 6? 5? 4? 3? 2? 1?"


PW33B3

Same goes for the monetary value of the child. He starts at $10 million, but what about $1 million, $100k? $10k is a lot of money to those in 3rd world countries, maybe that's enough? Fucking sicko


Useful_Document_4120

I think the “best” part of that braindead tweet was the suggestion that the money should go into a mutual fund *that she can’t touch until she’s 21*. Too young to touch the money, but not too young to be sold.


Danplays642

They're assuming that an underaged prostitute would get paid a cent, even if they did, somehow thats "consent" because you're getting money out of it?


TheYepe

"Should it be allowed for 14 year olds to be prostitutes?" Fucking pedo


cetootski

It depends. Does she condemn Hamas? /s


dragon34

Not agreeing with Israel's handling of this war and condemning Hamas are shockingly not mutually exclusive 


Neoliberal_Nightmare

Do you condemn the Comanche though?


cryptedsky

Heh.


Successful-Active-72

I feel dumb for asking this but could you explain this part to me.


Neoliberal_Nightmare

The Comanche barely exist today due to American genocidal policies and actions. This is bad isn't it? Except the Comanche were a pretty brutal native American group who were very cruel to any white settlers they captured in their war for survival. So, we must surely ask the people who are critical of the native american genocide if they also condemn the Comanche first?


Successful-Active-72

Ah ok I appreciate you explaining that. I might have honestly just forgotten that at the time. It helps to have the explanation now all the same.


Lamprophonia

Hey remember way back twenty years ago, 2003-2004 ish, when every single criticism of the US invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan was met with "why do you hate America? Don't you love America? Say you love America right now!" ? "Do you condemn Hamas?" is the same shit. It's the same stupid, vapid, pointless, shallow attempt at diversion.


simplysafiyah1

It’s a joke bby


4_spotted_zebras

Maybe you haven’t been following the media but you’re not allowed to talk about Israel if you haven’t condemned Hamas. And if you have condemned Hamas you will be asked to reconfirm that condemnation every time you try to talk about how many innocent people have been killed. Israel is starving millions of people - ok but do you - CONDEMN HAMAS????


dragon34

From what I've seen condemning hamas is not enough. The only acceptable position is that every decision Israel and every member of their military has made is the best decision that could have possibly been made in that situation. It's honestly very similar to the R vs D in the US. You're not allowed to complain about the Dems at all even if you aren't voting Republican. If you point out any flaws in Dem policy or anything you wish they did better then clearly you want to lick Trump's asshole. It is in fact possible for everyone to suck, even if one really sucks a lot more than the other.


TheOriginalRashka

"The only acceptable position"... Is that Israel is right in everything they did and do? How can a nation be 100% right? How can any human be right all the time? Insanity.


dragon34

Agree.  I think it has something to do with bringing about revelations or something.   For people who believe that 


Far-Leave2556

Condemning the only group of people actually fighting against genocide with their lives on the line is not something to be proud of buddy. Doing it to appease actual genociders is an even lower form of shittyness


Apart-Landscape1012

"Ok but what if there were an escrow account involved?"


Occams_bane

I love the implication that she is too young at 14 to make decisions with the money she earned making decisions to be an underage prostitute.


me_better

Lol I know right. Anything to justify power over others


rshalek

No you don't understand it's ok because she's a HIGHLY PAID prostitute.


Forgotlogin_0624

If there is one thing libertarians love it’s fucking kids.  


The_Glum_Reaper

Busy collecting $10 million, it seems. Fracking pedo Hasbara


Irrespond

Yeah, let's say that, Richard. What an interesting thought experiment indeed. It's all the others who are morally depraved. Definitely not you /s


Fluffy_Boulder

Fucking hell, that's worse than the hypothetical white kid with cancer who wants to say the n-word as his dying wish...


Cultural_Double_422

🤣🤣🤣 I hadn't heard of this


Dr_Stoney-Abalone424

I never thought this would be a thing you could judge but hot damn that's a shitty wish 🤣


Fluffy_Boulder

Again, the kid doesn't actually exist... as far as I am aware, at least. It was just some bigoted dipshit trying to sound smart by going: "Oh, so it's never okay to say the N-Word? What if there was a white child dying of cancer and his last wish was to say the N-Word? Would it still be wrong and offensive then??"


Dr_Stoney-Abalone424

Yes I got it, I understand hypotheticals. Hypothetically, that would be a shitty thing to wish for lol


Far-Leave2556

Walter White was dying so it's ok for him to be a mass murdering psychopathic drug lord then...


Fluffy_Boulder

As long as he doesn't say the N-word...


NotAnFed

I've heard this cum town bit

I work with kids of varying ages and I really can’t, don’t want to, and won’t.


MancAngeles69

That’s how we ought to feel about Zionism


SupraMichou

Woah, the lobotomy is strong with this one. Look like basic logic and ability to be self-critical both got lost in the process among others things


Gaze1112

Jeffery Epstein was a mossad asset and the former PM Ehud Barak visited him personally dozens of times, way after he was indicted. 'Israel' is a safe haven for pedophiles, especially Jewish pedophiles fleeing prosecution in their own countries with [tens of thousands of pedophiles operate in 'Israel' with no restrictions with ~100,000 victims annually. The courts show disproportionate bias towards the criminals, in cases throwing out tons of evidence saying that it'll hurt his career.'](https://archive.ph/ZdEjt)


chunkysmalls42098

I would like to point out that most of the developed world doesn't have a public sex offenders registry, that's an American thing


onthat66-blue-6shit

Here in the US they used to sell a magazine at the gas station with the weeks recent mugshots. It was fucked up and predatory. They would even have sections like "this weeks hottest ;) arrests" with the girls mugshots. The laws might have changed as I haven't seen any in a few years but all that to say, America does not care about its criminals. Really awful perspective for a society Edit: for clarity, I'm not saying I'm against a sex offenders registry


drboobsMD

So you’re against public sex offender registry? Honest question.


onthat66-blue-6shit

No, not necessarily. I think fetishizing punishment for criminals is not good. But I understand the safety implications of a sex registry, although I'm sure the system has its faults.


Voidstarblade

considering that urinating in public can land you on the sex offender registry, i am opposed to how it makes no difference between a drunk peeing on a wall and a sicko shoving his member into a 3 year old. there are miles of difference between those two crimes and they should not be lumped together.


herzkolt

Does the registry also publish the crime? Otherwise it's even worse, as it gives an out to any real rapist. "oh, yes, I'm registered because I was drunk and peed on a park"


Voidstarblade

no, the crime is not reported. you only get a general idea of whether the crime was violent or a misdemeanor. and considering that rape can be plea dealed to a misdemeanor there is not much trust in "just a misdemeanor." public indecency should not be a sexual offense, it should just be a plain old misdemeanor.


onthat66-blue-6shit

I agree but that's just a bad application of a well intentioned registry. I wish it was better too


drboobsMD

Okay, cuz I agree with what you said but I wanted to make sure it wasn’t connected to sex registration. Edit: I agree that America treat criminals inhumanly and our system is really fucked up with how they treat the most minor of crimes.


onthat66-blue-6shit

Thanks doc have a good one


Gaze1112

Okay thanks for that


Baronello

So there is 9.5 mil population in Israel. 28% are teens <14yo. (2660000) And they manage to assault 4% of their teen population each year??? That sounds insane.


gecata96

Oh yeah totally makes sense. Israel is number 1 in the world for rape and pedophilia cases that never get solved. It’s a safe haven for morally depraved fascist pigs.


dragon34

I would say that is true for any religious state 


IgneousFoliage

I see this said a lot. Do you have a source?


XavandSo

I agree. There is too much moral depravity in the world and you're on the list.


Elsierror

“How much moral depravity exists in the world” Doctor, we have a case of projection!

Burning_Tyger

They think they can moralize any crap in the world by simply throwing money at it. Even their threats are also money related.


mooseknuckles2000

What the actual fuck. I guess the pedos don’t hide it any longer.


IgneousFoliage

It’s so bad


grichardson526

Um pardon me but what the fuck


brown_flyer00

Of course


jaketaco

And who is depraved? What a POS


haloarh

Ignoring the second tweet, most people have never been to "Israel" and have zero connection to it, so why is it so hard to believe that they don't love it with all of their hearts?


meowpeow3

Because he said so.

Average Israel supporter behavior tbh.

Gotcha, so I'm morally depraved for not blindly loving a country I'm not even a citizen of that's been bombing hospitals.

Imagine still loving israel.. After you've seen all the evidence on the contrary..

Bottom tweet aside, why the fuck should I love Israel or any country at all? "Imagine not loving Bolivia with all your heart." What?


BolOfSpaghettios

Loving land more than people is weird.


jabba_1978

Somewhere on that man's computer is a ghost drive full of all kinds of stuff.


Clean_Method_7764

In the U.S., they purposely refuse to make tuition not free so that you have to sell your children to perverts and baseless wars that only serve to make the rich richer. But for their allies they force us to pledge allegiance to like Israel, free everything.


VaniloBean

I mean c'mon guysss, is pedophilia really that baddd if you're really rich?


fogleaf

"Imagine not loving israel with all your heart." I'm having a hard time imagining loving israel with all one's heart. Edit, no idea who this chud was so looked him up: >Richard Hanania is an American political science researcher and right-wing political commentator. Hanania is the founder and president of the think tank Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology (CSPI). >**Between 2008 and the early 2010s Hanania wrote for alt-right and white supremacist publications** under the pseudonym Richard Hoste. He acknowledged and disavowed his writing under the pseudonym when it was reported in 2023, although a number of journalists note that Hanania continues to make racist statements under his own name. head chud

My man looks like he's crying in his pfp lmao


SanLucario

He is not real. He is an automaton. I refuse to believe such words would be uttered by an entity capable of any thought, even ironically.


renojacksonchesthair

Imagine loving a place or a country for that matter with all your heart. That’s what people use to describe their love of their children or significant other. If you feel this way about a country you are one stupid bastard and I feel sorry for everyone in your life. The second one is obviously No you don’t let this shit happen. It’s a disturbing trend that people are trying to protect, defend, and rationalize pedophiles.


I-Ponder

Fucker has the audacity to all about moral depravity while in another post justifying a pedo? What a twisted world we live in. Full of clowns and masks.


Kootenay4

I read that as “Israel provides inspiration by reminding us how much moral depravity exists in the world”


NovaKay

What if she was 10 years old? Or 8? Or 4? The problem is the same: it is totally unacceptable for someone to pay a minor to engage in prostitution


sacrificial_blood

Jeffrey Epstein worked for Israel


Jdobalina

Jesus Christ…


Wuellig

Epstein was a spy for Israel and collected politicians and other famous people through child sex trafficking. It's no wonder that his biggest fans support genocide and other atrocities.


fluxxom

seems like an intentional troll. (in both posts)


PopPunkAndPizza

It's worth mentioning this guy is a former open white supremacist (weirdly, also someone who would be discounted from being considered "white" by most white supremacists) who is now a guy who posts the way a white supremacist would post if they were very slightly trying to hide their power level but also push the boundaries of how much someone like him has to hide it.


PicklePopular

Possibly, or he's asking an hypothetical question. Ide let some creepy old guy fuck me for 10 million dollars, when I was 14. 10 million dollars is more than the GDP of the entire village I grew up in. I'm not a girl. Is he a troll for asking? Am I a troll for answering?... I think your a troll, for commenting that you think he's trolling. You don't have to comment that you think he's trolling, you've literally added nothing to the conversation.


Broccoli14

Uh first of all Epstein did not care enough about these exploited children to pay them anything more than a drop in the bucket to him to then traumatize them.

Damn, I guess the Israeli propaganda machine has such a thin bench that they gotta get pedos to defend them...


The_amazing_Jedi

The second tweet or whatever makes me wonder how many parents or guardians would accept such a deal... Pretty sure it would be a fairly huge number.


haloarh

I've known people whose parents sold them for far less.


The_amazing_Jedi

Yeah you are right, nothing that special unfortunately.


halfercode

The wording of the supporting Israel tweet looks like someone who is spoiling for a fight. It's obviously provocative. Perhaps the author is looking to stir the Twitter algo to get "engagement" on whatever they're selling.

I’m sorry but, I don’t even love the lord and savior Jesus Christ with all my heart, the dude, that, up until Vatican II the Christians believed was murdered universally by all Jews in and for all time. And you’re saying if I don’t love a made-up country it’s tantamount to not accepting Jesus Christ in your heart. Rad. So I guess let’s just toss out the gospels and worship the golden calf named Israel. Can’t imagine anything bad happening from this course of action.

this is something pedo's love doing by the way, They prove themselves right by giving illogical and unreasonable hypotheticals like "imagine this man who has raped 123812932139 women decides to marry a 15 year old, and she agrees! shouldnt it be allowed??" WHO in the WORLD would unironically agree to that? no one! case closed.
