Like the worst these people have to deal with is resigning from "leading" their BS nonprofits. Some government officials had to resign from their positions in Europe. All of these people had 99% of their work done by their secretaries anyway, guaranteed. They still keep their mansions, servants, gourmet food, personal trainer rent-a-friends, endless money, and private jets. They still go on TV every day and talk for hours about how smart they are with interviewers who play right along with them. They sleep well. They feel good. In private, their friends and family are reassuring them that it's all a bunch of nonsense and eventually the brainless masses will forget it ever happened. Meanwhile, if I drive five MPH over the speed limit, I could get pulled over and end up surrendering the day's wages to the pigs (or worse). If I lose my job, I can look forward to months or years of unemployment and possible homelessness.

Someone said that one difference between the rich and poor now is that the rich do stuff, while the poor can only watch. I have known about Epstein for seven fucking years. I remember where I was when he died (I was working for his fucking billionaire friends). All this new information about Epstein is great, but it doesn't really change the fundamentals, which have been public knowledge for many years now. People who are interested in Epstein spend hours going through the files and talking about it...and that's it. No further action. No organizing. Nothing that really scares the bourgeoisie. Because even if Epstein is dead, his spirit is very much still alive, and maybe even stronger than ever. These fuckers really have us by the throat, otherwise the riots would be nonstop and omnipresent, and there would be vanguard parties seizing territory and power.

:so-far: There are no consequences :redacted-1::redacted-2:

Part of what makes E's case such a sore spot for the vast majority of people is exactly the feeling you have. It's galvanizing in a way many other problems are not because it's so brazen. This case has withstood multiple attempts at a coverup to no avail.

In private, their friends and family are reassuring them that it's all a bunch of nonsense and eventually the brainless masses will forget it ever happened.

I've said before that Liberals need time to cook and this is a case study of their growing disenchantment towards once legitimate institutions. It takes forever because the libs are waiting (and waiting and waiting...) for their revered institutions to, and I quote, "do their job" before they realize that nobody is doing anything.

I talk to people about the case periodically and the level of withering acidic responses would stripmine copper. This isn't going away. People are pissed and it keeps getting stronger. The libs are listening when their politicians say they will do something, and then when no action is taken the pH level drops even more.

I don't want to sound like :biaoqing-copium: because there is still a chance this all slips into a kind of learned helplessness in the body politic; we know everything but we are ideologically opposed to taking necessary action :lenin-walenin: I try to keep this fire nice and hot whenever it comes up in conversation to keep it burning in everybody's mind.

Meanwhile, if I drive five MPH over the speed limit, I could get pulled over and end up surrendering the day's wages to the pigs (or worse).

Reminds me of the (badly remembered) saying "If the only punishment is a fine, it's only a crime for the poor."

Meanwhile, if I drive five MPH over the speed limit, I could get pulled over and end up surrendering the day's wages to the pigs (or worse).

I still need to hire a fucking lawyer (at least a week's pay or more) to deal with getting pulled over a few weeks ago

In that time Ive seen at least a dozen fucking cops, sheriffs and state troopers drive just as fucking fast as I was going on the same stretch of road
