Not fully understanding why no-strings-attached money is a bad thing, isn't the same thing as sealioning.
You've wasted so much time trying to justify your toxic outbursts instead of simply saying "soft power" from the start. Then you could have used your time and energy for something more productive. Do you get joy out of this or what?
Also I did answer you right here in one of my first comments.
The pursuit of science should not be more important than holding a sex-trafficking rapist and pedophile accountable.
To be fair, I honestly stopped reading after I saw it was a personal attack, because people who feel the need to stoop that low don't usually have anything to contribute to a discussion. Can you blame me? I come here for normal discussions, not Reddit-tier personal attacks.
Not to mention, that still didn't answer it, because I didn't understand until other people explained it that no-strings-attached money would actually be a moral issue.
Grow up and stop being a toxic asshole on an obscure internet board.
Grow up and stop acting like it's confusing that sex criminals shouldn't be allowed to do business after they've raped children.
The answer is obvious from the post itself.
If DinoCon can correctly identify why it's bad to take funding from Epstein after his conviction, why are you in the comments asking questions to justify taking dirty money?
Think about it from any of Epstein's victims point of view. That the world continued to do business with Epstein, to protect him, to shield him from consequences because....of money.
