So, the movie is about child trafficking. At no point does it mention liberals, democrats or political parties.

After it's released, leftist media immediately begins decrying it, labeling it 'Q- Anon adjacent' in numerous publications, radio and television shows. People on the right point this out and you reply with.

Call your clients. Tell them their lawyer is a fricking bum.

If it raises awareness of child trafficking in general, who gives a shite what flavor of it is depicted in the movie?

Since you bumped this thread, I'll respond: because this sort of hyperbolic method to create a moral panic often does more harm than good. Leave the virtue signaling and "starting a conversation" to Leftists.

The idea, in a nutshell, is to create a groundswell of concern by flooding social media with posts about human trafficking, joining parenting Facebook groups and glomming on to hashtag campaigns like #SaveTheChildren, which began as a legitimate fund-raising campaign for the Save the Children charity. Then followers can shift the conversation to baseless theories about who they believe is doing the trafficking: a cabal of nefarious elites that includes Tom Hanks, Oprah Winfrey and Pope Francis.

Part of the strategy’s perverse brilliance is that child sex trafficking is a real, horrible thing, and some politically connected people, including the financier Jeffrey Epstein, have been credibly accused of exploiting underage girls. And speaking out against child exploitation, no matter your politics, is far from an objectionable stance.

“It’s probably one of the key things that’s attractive about QAnon,” said Marc-André Argentino, a doctoral student at Concordia University who studies QAnon’s social media presence. “Everyone agrees that child trafficking is very bad, and the argument QAnon makes is, ‘If you’re against us talking about this, you’re in favor of child trafficking.’”

The QAnon strategy of pushing some unobjectionable, often factual content about human trafficking in addition to wild conspiracy theories has blurred the lines between legitimate anti-trafficking activism and partisan conspiracy mongering. Recently, some activists have marched in cities around the country demanding an end to child exploitation. Among them were QAnon believers, toting signs with messages like “Hollywood Eats Babies.”

For established anti-trafficking groups, the surge of support from internet conspiracy theorists has been a mixed blessing. Some activists, such as Tim Ballard, the founder of the anti-trafficking group Operation Underground Railroad, see an opportunity to reach a new, hyper-engaged online audience.

“Some of these theories have allowed people to open their eyes,” Mr. Ballard said. “So now it’s our job to flood the space with real information so the facts can be shared.”

Others worry that QAnon will divert valuable resources from legitimate groups trying to stop trafficking. After the Wayfair incident, the Polaris Project, a nonprofit organization that runs the National Human Trafficking Hotline, issued a news release saying its hotline had been overwhelmed with false reports. It later published a blog post warning that “unsubstantiated claims and accusations about child sex trafficking can spin out of control and mislead well-meaning people into doing more harm than good.”

When they discuss sex trafficking, how are the defining it?

Are these people that are being kidnapped off the street, or are these runaways, drug-addicts, that are being pimped out?

Both are bad, obviously, but different parts of the spectrum.

I'm not sure which group you are asking about. The movie deals with a specific situation of a rescue of children in Columbia.

Federal statistics would deal with both if there is a party profiting off a minor's illegal services (i.e. labor or sex acts). Most policy efforts would be directed at both. Policing would appear to be the same (although I'm open to discussing any differences). Prevention may be different.

Its the latter that appears to be causing the most ire. Measures that relate to immigration policy or proseuction policy tend to be, in the former case, heavily partisan influenced. The latter case seemed to be a partisan smokescreen. That is, those that may fear the impact of prevention policies on other policies, make tangential or ad hominem attacks on concerns or initiatives because they don't want it to impact a separate but related policy initiative.

Nevertheless, that is not universally true. We did have one thread where the whole basis of the latter attack was based on false parallels to half-century-old prosecutions or other items related to Satan.

Here, I'll post more for you without the "QAnon" prompting:

Are theaters trying to discourage the viewing of Sound of Freedom?

I really don't understand why so many people are trying to suppress the viewing of this film.

Are there really that many pedo sympathizers in society?

And yet it still happened, no a/c during airing of movie. Pedos and trannies are the goal of the left.

Then Q gets referenced (by a Patriot) so it's not worthwhile after that (but you can look if you want)

Patriots, you say? Not partisan at all.

Why did Chrissy Teigen, Rainn Wilson, James Gunn, Patton Oswalt and many others all scrub their Twitter accounts after folks got screengrabs of their posts from a decade prior, joking about pedophilia, cannibalism, baby rape, etc?

Human and child trafficking is real, is an epidemic and this movie will spread awareness and help lead to the saving of children from evil.

Also many of the other presentations are about the current clown world we find ourselves in, election theft and the fight against Marxism and the Great Reset which is definitely real.

Q Anon isn't mentioned in the movie. The only people who keep screaming it from the rooftops are leftists. Why is that?

Yeah? Like how? Give me a specific example.

Again, the only people mentioning Q are liberals.

I think it’s rooted in the Talmud, the rules for how you interact with gentiles are much more permissive. We are, as the orthodox say, just cattle.

No doubt about it.

When Jesus Christ threatened the religious power structure of Jewish society (The Sanhedrin) the members of that power structure understood their days of absolute power and control over the Jewish people were over......we all know what happened.

I love being lectured on morality by the illuminati.

No, I'm not. I hope it makes $200M. I have posted many times I hope it does well. We need more lower budget movies being pushed and played in cinemas.
