Given the frequency with which you guys all encounter traffickers at your cafes and salons and the rarity with which they actually successfully land child sales I am forced to conclude that this is another flippin MLM. https://t.co/Ebd1PYjbIZ

This is a really strange and interesting phenomenon, how many white mostly upper-middle-class women that most traffickers would not want to be anywhere near believe they are “almost trafficked” 3-4 times a week.
This is a progressive version of conspiracy theorizing, I believe. It makes one feel important and desirable. (“I’m so lovely and wonderful traffickers try to take me all the time.”) It’s also quite pitiful and sad and is another bit of data that makes me wonder how we’ve managed to go so wrong as a society.
