    It’s not a distraction from the Epstein files but from the class warfare that enabled the Epstein class.

      It’s not a distraction from the class warfare though. It is the class warfare. The wars, plagues, and destitution are the class warfare.

      The sexual exploits of that class are a minor (if appalling) sideline. It affected dozens of young women. And, again, my deepest sympathies to them, but dozens is not millions. The wholesale massacre of an entire nation is not a ‘distraction’ from a sex scandal. The sex scandal is a distraction from the wholesale massacre of a nation.

      The mass exploitation of the poor is the most noteworthy feature of the ruling class. Calling them the Epstein class just makes them sound like their main crime is the exploitation of a few dozen teenagers. Their main crime is the complicity in the massacre and starvation of thousands of children, the impoverishment of millions more.

        So how many kids would need to be raped for you to care? You keep minimizing with “only a few dozen”, which is fucking gross tbh.
