The right saying that the left wants to forcibly transition kids was, again, projection.

We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

This is an inaccurate title. Epstein and his buddies aren't "the right," they're the Elite. They exist beyond or seperate of Left and Right. They are instead the ones playing us, the left and the right, against each other. No time to throw around stupid insults like 'your side won't leave the kids alone!' Until we completely and ruthlessly get to the bottom of the Epstein files. Nothing else matters right now
I disagree, the elite are right wing. They believe that there should be an in-group, the ultra-wealthy, that society supports but does not restrict. They are capitalists, both in the ideological sense and in the sense that they own capital. The most moderate or them are conservatives who see that they have benefited from the status quo and seek to preserve it. The radicals are fascists, neo-monarchists, theocrats and the like who seek a world order that is even less equal and less fair for the common person than the pseudo-democracy that we have now.
The right more broadly are the many millions of rubes that have bought into the propaganda created by and for these elites. They are those who are primed to believe their lies, because they have fear and anger that overwhelms their critical thinking, limited access to education, culturally embedded and reinforced bigotry, and privileges that they are told depend on the status quo.
If you go back to the original meaning of Left and Right in a political discussion, Epstein and his friends are 100% right-wing.
The origins of the terms come from the French Revolution. Before the Reign of Terror kicked off, there was an interim government that was writing a new constitution. France could have become a constitutional monarchy from it.
Anyway, during the process, there were a number of votes held. Those who were in favor of the status quo, i.e. an unchecked monarchy and unaccountable nobility, sat on the right of the Speaker's podium. Those who wanted democracy and accountability for the crimes of the nobility sat on the left.
The reason why Left and Right were applied to economic matters is simple. Marx wrote about an economic system of equality and accountability. On the other side, the Father of Conservatism, Edmund Burke, wrote about using the power of money to escape accountability and to suppress democracy.
So anyone who considers themselves "elite" because of merely having money, is by definition a right-wing asshole. But also, the vast majority of Epstien's "friends" are openly right wing, because they're mostly the rich and powerful.
Wut? The man was literally a stock broker who constantly criticized socialism and communism. He's obviously a fan of capitalism and all it entails. You know what you don't get with communism...... Elite billionaires who invite other elite billionaires to have sex with children on a privately owned island.
