Exactly as the title says: what the fuck.

    It was a stupid stunt, for sure; but also does anyone besides the perpetually online even care about the Epstein files being released?

    I mean we know he’s a shitty person.

      The interesting part isn’t anything about Epstein, it’s who his clients were. The people who diddled kids and are walking free.

      I would care if prosecutions would happen. But they won’t, so I don’t.

        But releasing it has no basis on whether or not prosecutions happen; in fact releasing the information probably poisons the prosecutorial well and makes it harder to prosecute since you taint the jury pool (especially since you’re never going to get the full, unredacted information - you’re just going to get the version that’s been created in narrative by social media).

          Really good point.

          I’m honestly just sad that rich people get away with this kind of nonsense. :-/

            They get away with literally everything, and if somehow they don’t, they’ll be pardoned.

            They repel repercussions but demand so much more of everyone else with so much less, and love to punish.

            Their lives are games in God Mode: having every impulse gratified, every action celebrated, every whim realized… And then they’re given the presidency by the people they see as NPC’s.

            They literally cannot conceive of any part of your or my struggles, let alone give a shit.
