    Viewing justice as the punishment of the guilty is conservatism 101.

    The real failure is that no legislation, law-enforcement, or court action has been taken to address why billionaires can snatch little girls off the street. The real failure is that rape is barely even illegal in the US, and it’s viewed as right and proper when powerful men have access to little girls the same way their wealth provides them with access to all rare and desirable objects.

    This isn’t because our leaders are sick, it’s because our society is. These men didn’t steal our daughters, we sold them out, cheap. No amount of Presidents in prison will change that.

            How do you suggest we do that, as a start? Just “Destroy everything” isn’t a start, it’s a finish.

              Heavily regulate Meta, Amazon, Microslop, and others as corporations, introducing consumer friendly regulations that curb the power these companies have over daily life, impose massive taxes on people who have over, let’s just say 650 million USD in assets (not just liquid money) and give the laws actual teeth. Fines based on percent gross income for the corporation and hold both the CEO AND board of directors accountable for the actions of the corporation as a whole, then remove the ability for non-human persons to make political contributions. Just for a start

                More of a middle than a start. How do we actually do those things? Do I have to sign paperwork? Do I have to come into the dealership?

                People, especially online, are super good at the middle and end parts that they like to call “a start”. Terrible at actual starts, though.
