According to Pizzagate conspiracy theorists, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Pizza Hut boxes are encouraging Satanic ritual abuse

This is obvious bollox. If Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were Satanists, they would call themselves Teenage Mutant Ninja Satanist Turtles.

“Well know” by neighbouring islanders who wanted to send the murderous Spaniards over there to do what murderous Spaniards do.

That’s because being nice is really the opposite of this, even. Someone made the argument that for qanoners, these child abuse fantasies are pornography, which frames it in a way that makes so much sense (especially given how many qanon figures have been involved in child abuse and trafficking, and how Qanon started on the -chans, with all their CSE images). It explains why they have no interest in real child abuse, or in doing anything to actually protect children (much less anyone else), and why these fantasies get so weird and convoluted and still propagate. Making sense is beside the point.

I had been trying to understand the whole thing as if, on some level, they were concerned about children (there’s clearly a portion of the movement that’s about conservative women being in denial about the abusers all around them in their lives, and projecting that onto “the other” to feel safer), but it never entirely made sense until it was framed this way and I realized that, at its core, it wasn’t about being concerned about anyone at all.

It’s fascinating how often this shows up in conspiratorial thinking - “these words sound similar, therefore there’s a connection.” They aren’t even asserting an etymological connection (even in this case, despite the assertion). It’s more nebulous and irrational - magical, even (it’s essentially the thinking that’s the basis of sympathetic magic or the doctrine of signatures, where one thing becomes fundamentally connected to something else because of some superficial similarity).

“I’m gonna break down the symbolism in this photo”, says the man waving his camera vaguely in the direction of a pizza box with a drawing of a cartoon turtle-man on it.

the only way pizza represented my teenage ass was the acne-smeared “pizza face” so common in puberty.
as far as my experience goes, it had not a goddamn thing to do with sex.
these pervs need to be spotlighted and…

It’s just so incredibly nonsensical; without accounting for heavy drug use or other serious issues, I cannot convince myself that this person actually believes what he’s claiming.

If you’re going to quote the Bible to support your made-up QAnonense, at least get your facts right.

  1. It’s Abel, not Able.
  2. The story of Cain and Abel has nothing to do with child sacrifice.
  3. Or cannibalism.
  4. If you want a Biblical story about child sacrifice, try Abraham and Isaac.
  5. In that story, the patriarch Abraham was instructed to sacrifice his son Isaac not by Satan, but by … checks notes … God.

So, all in all, it’s a little difficult to see what point you’re trying to make here, Mr. Pizzagate, but what is abundantly clear is that you don’t know shit about the Bible and are likely too lazy to find out.

Cain and Able? I thought it was Ready, Willing and Able. Why do survivalist globalists like tomatoes? Because they’re cannable. Still waiting for autocannibilism to become a thing. Go eat yourselves, all you mentally ill fearmongering hatred lovers!

Holy shit, what a nut job.

Also - Cain and Able have nothing to do with the word origin.
