    The Epstein class found out that scandals don’t stick anymore if you just flood the zone, which is what they did and have done ever since.

      It does appear to be working for them. I’m not sure it’s so much “flooding the zone” as it is “shitting the bed and not giving a fuck who else might be trying to sleep in it”. The Confederates collectively figured out that none of the laws have any teeth if they control all three branches, so why the hell not? It doesn’t help that they’re all like 80 years old and nothing they do will harm the one person they love more than anything or anyone else: themselves.

      Voting isn’t enough. We need a lot more organization. A union of the people so we can act as one and pretty much get whatever the fuck we want so long as masses agree. It was supposed to be Democracy but that’s been corrupted so something fundamental would need to change. I think if we had more open tech (and we will) we could build the tools we need to better organize. The ruling class has every advantage, except the numbers.
