    It villifies nothing. It’s statistics are factually incorrect, it sends the wrong message about how child trafficking actually occurs, actively promotes Qanon conspiracy theories like adrenochrome (which have zero factual basis) and the guy staring in it is a Qanon loon.

    “from the movie’s opening montage, which shows surveillance footage of children being snatched by strangers off the streets, Sound of Freedom offers a “false perception” of how the majority of child trafficking actually takes place, according to Albright.”

    Almost every time, kids know their traffickers. This movie does nothing but massively discredit actual trafficking efforts.

      It’s a fear mongering attempt to push a “satanic panic” about random child kidnappings, while shielding the real human traffickers and serial child molesters.

      To be fair, though nutbag Caviezel talks about adrenochrome, the film omits that. I listened to two different podcasts review it (one of which is QAnon Anonymous, and anti-conspiracy show). But everything else you said is correct.

      Good link. I hadn’t seen that article. Skimmed it and got a better sense of what real anti-trafficking folks think of it.

      Oh wow look at that, using rollingstone as a source and running with blinders on. Hey look at how many people liked your comment, you must be right.

        Yeah! Fuck big media, you can’t trust them. The guy you’re replying to needs to do his own research and stop listening to the propaganda trying to discredit a totally legitimate and honest movement meant to expose the non-Trump rich people as corrupt child abusers.

        I hope that’s obvious enough that adding “/s” is unnecessary.

          I literally listened to this part of a conversation in early 2021:

          A: I try to tell my brother, but he doesn’t listen. He said he just got home from a funeral for a friend who died from COVID and didn’t want to talk about it. I told him, your friend died with COVID, not from COVID.

          It soured my mood so much that I couldn’t enjoy the fun thing I was on my way to.
