No, I think they know they're into the most depraved shit. It was just the now-classic projection: condemnation for sexual affairs. You think they haven't done crack with adult Latinas before sinking to raping kids?

They're not the psychiatric definition of pedophiles, in the sense of mentally-ill people with anti-social paraphilias; they're depraved monsters who know raping kids is some of the most illicit things they had yet to dabble in. It's not sexual attraction to kids, it's the rush of power from being able to break a taboo and get away with it.

That's exactly what I mean. They know they're into the most depraved shit, and they like it because it's a way to break taboos and demonstrate their power. (Power is the real paraphilia.) I feel like it's literally incomprehensible to them that somebody with the connections and influence to do it (e.g. Hunter Biden), too, just... wouldn't. Because of course everybody wants to! So if Biden wasn't in Epstein's orbit, it must have driven them mad wondering what he was doing that was so much better (by their taboo-breaking standards) than what they were doing.

I mean, at this point we're just doing theorycrafting for human monsters, but that concept just doesn't resonate with me.

That concept is the "I have any itch I just can't scratch" type of depraved, where it's a compulsion. They need just another type of stimulus because they've done it all, and they fell into child rape.

But what I see from them, and the little evidence we're allowed to hear, shows more of a laidback, nihilistic type of depravity. They have more money than they'll ever need, but why shouldn't they get a little more money by suppressing some poor-people's rights? Why shouldn't they buy that car, yacht, election, sex slave?

I imagine they look at Hunter Biden's vices the same way we look at the Amish: "why are you limiting yourself to that when it's so easy to get more?"
