I get the pedo thing for sure but where did the baby eating come from?

Epstein files leak

Pman@lemmy.org · 3 pts · 109d (1 reply)

Which leak? I'd love an actual source.

thanksforallthefish@literature.cafe · 4 pts · 109d

A reasonable request but I've been recently banned from reddit and that's where I had all the sources saved.

The truth is out there but I'm sorry I can't help you with directions

They're Satanists

You should talk to members of the satanic temple and the such those people tend to be humanists and all about personal sexual autonomy not pedos who eat babies, that sounds closer to blood libel territory.

A hyphen is required to specify that the pedophiles are eating children, and not that the child is eating pedophiles.

Grass@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 110d

you would have to say "a child eating pedophiles" and not "child eating pedophiles" for me to interpret it that way, but "a child eating pedophile" singular not plural is back to the pedophile doing the eating... unless its a caption...

LodeMike@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 109d

Nope. There would have to be an article before the noun. "A child eating...", or " children"

"stolen" is such a cringe ancap term

ImInLoveWithLife@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 110d (4 replies)

I understand what you're saying, but could also be literal wage theft, or also more abstractly, from the view of labor theory of value

Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 10 pts · 110d (2 replies)

I don't understand what they're saying, what does the concept of theft have to do with ancap?

Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works · 22 pts · 110d (1 reply)

The 40% number indicates that they're talking about taxes.

And it would be a very ancap / libertarian take to be upset about 40% of your pay going to public causes, instead of being upset about the fact that your CEO probably pays you about ten cents for every dollar of value you generate (if even that).

Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 110d

Gotcha, I was focused more on the meme saying that the 40% is (partially) going to the Epstein Crew so I missed that angle

Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 108d

If they were talking about wage theft in the sense of people being paid less than the value they produce, that number would be much, much higher.

Besides, only a part of taxes goes to enriching the wealthy. Some is still used for good, useful causes.

Of course, rightwing grifters are hard at work to change that, but for now, some part of taxes is useful and good.

And very few working class people have an effective tax rate of 40%, even in high tax states

Damage@feddit.it · 3 pts · 110d (2 replies)

I don't think the meme refers to taxes

Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 108d (1 reply)

If they were talking about the stolen value of labour the number would be a lot higher.

Damage@feddit.it · 1 pts · 108d

maybe they felt generous

Including the money your workplace pays for you? SS and such? In Spain if we include everything it's close to 40% if you earn like 30k gross and above (without counting what the company pays for you, counting what they withhold for you)
