    Don’t be stupid.

    There are millions, if not billions of dollars in the human trafficking economy. Continuous reports of rich and powerful people all over the planet participating in it. Disgusting human beings willing to treat children like animals for their own gratification.

    And you think these people won’t start hiring adults of the same ethnicity as the children they’re trafficking to move them?

    It’s such a reductive argument. “Just question any group of people if the children are a different ethnicity than the adults they’re with! Let’s not look at the kids body language, or the way they interact. Race is clearly the indicator!”

    Fucking stupid

      Yeah. How much human trafficking is actually going on at airports with a “parent” flying “their” child somewhere?

      If some sicko is a billionaire with a private jet and is THAT dedicated to getting a kid to them, they’ll fly them on their private jet. You know, like Epstein.

      And if they’re the “usual” human chattel that is treated like cattle, they’re probably being transported in some slower, cheaper method than a plane that (1) costs way more and (2) has a dozen security mechanisms designed to catch you.

      This is just racism and people buying into Qanon propaganda.
