    First of all, what are you on about?

    Second

    MJ was actually protecting kids from Epstein by hosting and sleeping with them at his ranch.

    How is this not a bit? This seems extremely unlikely to be a sincere belief by whoever made this statement.

    Edit: third, am I taking a shitpost too seriously?

      Nah I did see someone believing that in the comments of the thread. There’s a Snopes article debunking it, which is how you know a lot of people believe it.

        So how did you come about the conclusion that they are “progressives”? I am really curious as to why you are mixing politics with this.

          Lemmy is a predominantly progressive platform. Which made seeing so much MJ apologia very disappointing and unexpected.

        There’s a conspiracy floating around that Jackson became aware of the human trafficking to the ultrawealthy and he was smeared and possibly killed for it. No real evidence but it’s a fun one to think about.

        This is not something I wouldn’t consider "fun to think about.

        Also, damn that got heated.

            That’s a fascinating conspiracy theory, but I think the most likely explanation is greed on behalf of the accusers, or their parents.

            I mean its entirely possible. I struggle to believe there are that many people who are rich+powerful and also nonces. I really do believe that once you reached a certain level of influence you were told “WE run this world, youre either in or out.” And we’ll never be able to separate for sure whos a poor-little-rich-guy and whos an awful awful awful excuse for a human.

            Only silver lining in MJ case is that hes already dead. We dont need to worry about it so much there.
