Media moved on, the people still here.

Literally just scrolled past like 4 epstein posts to see this meme...

Personally, I have not moved on until the cannibal pedophile rapists move on.

Same. Can we put our dicks away yet?

Actually I just saw an Epstein meme on the internet just a moment ago

Idk, I still regularly see plenty of videos on YT about it, I think it's maybe not as publicly discussed but I don't think people have actually moved on.

The big difference is that the mainstream media has decided other things will negatively engage viewer more than that story so they don't care. The mistake was believing they ever gave a shit about these crimes or their victims and weren't just in it for the views caused by all of the drama.

The mainstream media is owned by like three dudes who had contact with epstein. Look at what happened to the Washington post, and CBS. They bought the news not because they give a shit about journalism, but to bury the news of their crimes. The people keep talking about it, and journalists keep finding new heinous crimes buried in the files, but the sycophants left in the media are paid to not see or talk about any of it.

I haven't moved on nor am I "fixated on".

Im maintaining an awareness of that shit show amongst every days new horrors.

Yes im aware that im not capable of maintaining outrage and im also aware that this is how flooding the zone works.

aware that this is how flooding the zone works.

Literally no idea what that means but I'm glad you're aware of how it works. It seems a desirable thing, so keep it up!

It's not. It's a technique encouraged by reviled scumbag Steve Bannon, where you do so much heinous shit in rapid succession that people are too overwhelmed to fight it all.

It's so sad that this revolutionary movement to expose Donald Trump as a sex offender failed and now nobody will ever know he's a bad person.

We need a TV show or mini series where people act out Epstein file stories.

Get people to understand what this sick fuck did to kids and women.

Well yeah, you mistook posting memes as doing anything about it. When's the next No Kings Just Controlled Opposition peaceful march of strongly worded displeasure and unoriginal signs for instagram?

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 7 points 5 days ago

Yeah, the death of that sack of shit will be our only relief. There is no gotcha moments with him, he is not gonna suffer any consequences for his life of heinous crime. He can die painfully and prolonged if we are lucky though.

It shows how manipulated everyone really is. By the way, check out the aliens! The UFO release! Totally not a distraction!
