    Hey, maybe that ruthless capitalist puppet cares.

    Maybe that’s his dry logic way to keep the pedos away from real children.

    Maybe it’s not because … y’know, … how it looks on the face of it.

    … Or maybe it’s all another “protect the children” ploy to terrorise us into giving more power to big baron daddy [corpo-]gov.

    But naw… surely not all that sardonic satirical cynicism.

    Maybe they care. … /s .

      … After reading a few comments… a figure creeps into my mind from memory…

      8 million.

      That’s how many children we’re estimated to lose to the traffickers ((or whoever else) for who knows what horrors), per year, globally.

      … And I don’t think either of these, the politicians or the capitalists, are going to do even one honest thing to help solve this.

      … And yet at their disposal, is the means.

      … The stench of these psychopaths using this crime [as vast as it is], as a mere tool to carry on with all their other crimes, is sickening. … How many of the 8 million, are used, not just to be abused, raped, eaten, but as tools of blackmail to usurp all these pseudo-democracies at these single points of failure, “our” “representatives”, as they doubtless do throughout industry and elsewhere too. No strongman saviour to save us, nor our children.

      We have to face the horror and come up with better/real remedies to this unacceptable monstrous situation.

      [That 8 million figure, I heard elaborated upon, how it was derived, how it was extrapolated, estimated based on the known missing children and so on, from an "ex-"cia guy on some podcast interview… which I failed to find in a timely manner to add as reference here.]
