    I’m sure the women you work with would be so pleased to know that the pursuit of science is much more important than holding a sex-trafficking rapist and pedophile accountable. It would make them really comfortable to be around you.

      That wasn’t the question. My question was, how would he be benefiting from me taking his money?

          I can also dodge questions by asking a different question. Is it immoral to steal from billionaires?

            You: “hey, child rapist, can I have some money please?” Child rapist: “sure, no problem, my friend”

            “see, fellow child rapists, most people will allow us to do what we want because we have money. They don’t see anything wrong with personally profiting from us. Right, who’s up for more child rape?”


            Now, if you were to take all the money from the child rapist and then use it to tackle human trafficking, etc etc etc, then, yeah, there’s nothing wrong with that. But taking any money from any paedo/evil cunt is just allowing them to carry on doing their evil shit by sharing their riches.

            It’s essentially signing off on his other actions by engaging in business as usual after his conviction.

            I didn’t think I needed to spell that out to anyone who wasn’t an Epstein supporter.

              Maybe it’s some kind of language barrier, but my definition of business is “any activity or enterprise entered into for profit”. So again, where would his profit be in giving me money with no strings attached?

              How do you get so caught up in thinking wrong? I asked a hypothetical question and you’re acting like I’d ever support him? The only negative thing about him being killed is that his victims can’t get retribution.

                It’s the soft power of being charitable. There’s reasons that the rich fund projects like this - it’s to make people like you defend them even after they’ve committed terrible crimes against humanity.

                  make people like you defend them

                  I have never defended anyone with excessive wealth in my entire life, and especially not a sex trafficker or other criminals. Do you normally slander people, or what’s your problem with putting false words into someone else’s mouth?

                    You are arguing with me right here and right now how it should be totally OK to take this predator’s funding.
