Every day it seems like another GOP has been busted for CSAM or actual rape and abuse. I think these are just the ones who get caught and that there are hundreds more. It is a business and someone must have taken over for Epstein.

    I wouldn’t say it has much to do with pedophilia and just about everything to do with greed. They’re entirely the party of the ownership class, they always have been. They would revive slavery in a heartbeat going much further than the 13th amendment allows if they knew they could get away with it.

    It might be an “interesting” endeavor to find out the correlation between those that have immense wealth and/or power and pedophilia. It might be that they are also pedophiles because of how their power and/or wealth have affected them.

      Funny enough, there’s been studies on Pedophilia that determined:

      “pedophiles seek to gain a feeling of power and control” and also “pedophiles lack sexual interest in adults, and find children less intimidating.”

      What do most greedy narccissists want? Power. Who are they intimidated by? Critical thinking adults. Something kids lack.

      So the greedy - who are obsessed with power - who avoid critically thinking about their poor use of resources - will likely be drawn to pedophilia as a sexual outlet.

      Elon Musk comes to mind. For many reasons.
