An economic, political, and safety liability all around.

The problem is, they are going for low hanging fruit by targeting unknowns with little to no representation.

Catholic priests have the full force of the Catholic Church to protect them from legal attacks that some dinky YouTuber will not be able to combat.

Also, Catholic priests do not need to go on dating apps or websites where they could potentially get lured because they are most likely targeting the children in their parish, under their direct control.

There are cases of arsonist fire fighters which is an even stronger analogy.

Those who claim to fight fires are often the ones setting them, so they can be seen as the heroes who extinguish them.

The point is to pacify the moderates and make leftist resistance look like an insane reaction.

There was a similar case that happened on a college campus in America. Five 18 year -old students, all of whom can legally consent, lured a guy toward the dorms through a dating app. When he arrived, the students swarmed him with phones out calling him a pedophile. They are now being charged.

Dude… topless women are saying fuck fascism openly in the streets. This is what you want.

Eh, I don’t find it hilarious as much as I find it extremely unsurprising. Mussolini had been clamoring to merge corporations with the state in order to implement fascism.

These are your corporate fucks forcefully merging themselves as the state.

Yea, well it makes no sense to blame progressives for “not supporting a minority group” when the movie got rid of its dwarf actors for CGI or when they punished Zegler for supporting Palestine or when they cast an IDF soldier who can’t act.

Trump is going to start WWIII and form a wartime coalition government that “postpones” our election process in the meantime. There may be no midterms.

I’m going to be honest, I’m suspicious of every single ‘pedophile hunter’. They are going after a demographic that people will not rush to defend, even if innocent.

Also, these ‘hunters’ probably have something shady going on in their own lives, and this is some form of projection that they also profit off of.

This could be a Reichstag Fire moment. It’s near the border and gives Trump precedent to strengthen operations there.
