Nah the pedophiles are at the top. Removing the pedophiles would not cause collapse like you are suggesting. Not sure what motive you might have for suggesting that

Because if they didn't vote for a paedo, the wrong paedo might get in
“It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see..."
"You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?"
"No," said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, "nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?"
"What?"
"I said," said Ford, with an increasing air of urgency creeping into his voice, "have you got any gin?"
"I'll look. Tell me about the lizards."
Ford shrugged again.
"Some people say that the lizards are the best thing that ever happenned to them," he said. "They're completely wrong of course, completely and utterly wrong, but someone's got to say it."
"But that's terrible," said Arthur.
"Listen, bud," said Ford, "if I had one Altairian dollar for every time I heard one bit of the Universe look at another bit of the Universe and say 'That's terrible' I wouldn't be sitting here like a lemon looking for a gin.”
I don't think that's an accurate use of the format. They're more like the big flat layer right above that: fairly small, behind almost everything, and completely unnecessary.

This is what the pedophiles want us to think. We'd be better off without them.
That doesn't contradict the image. Collapse is a good thing.
It’s a nation of capitalists. The unimpeachable pedo ring is just one example out of countless others that capitalist states are oligarchies, no matter the democratic veneer. Most of them aren’t pedophiles, but nearly all of them will protect their own. The pedo ring, as disguising as it is, is only a symptom of the system, a natural consequence of it.
I remember bits and pieces of that Karl Minx quote where he talks about consent with a woman who's legally able to consent is sexy.
I'm paraphrasing a bit here.
I think that was Harpo Minx.
I haven’t read much Harpo is there something you’d recommend?
Nah, those are not helping anybody.
They are leaches who are actually holding a gun to their prey's head while raping children.
it looks like this story has fallen off the front page; they don't need a gun since 90% of the people are just pretending that it doesn't matter.
Specifically the people who decide what goes on the front page. The adage if it bleeds, it leads doesn’t apply to stories the powerful would rather bury.
