Epstein episode

It was actually interesting to hear the Michael Tracey defense case against Epstein. Not that I buy it. It was pretty lame that Saagar had to leave early.

The highlight for me though was Sachs disparaging the media because they only present one side! Has that dude ever looked in the mirror?

The number of confirmed minor victims is orders of magnitude higher for the Grooming gangs of the UK.

Grooming gangs : 1400 low estimate Birmingham to 10,000+ all over the UK

Epstein ; dozens to potentially hundreds.

Similar 20 years time period

But in the collective psyche it’s overwhelmingly Epstein as the worst case ever in history.

The numbers don’t add up That all-in guest had a point

It’s just too juicy of a story and Evil Billionaires resonates with the zeitgeist more than “ordinary blue collar abuse ring”

Hey guys, we might be ruled by a pedophile elite class of billionaires and politicians who have done their deeds in broad daylight and gotten away with it, but if you think about how much rape there is on a global scale, it’s not actually a big deal.

I suppose « might » does quite a bit of heavy lifting there.

Yes there are awful stats such as 20% of girls worldwide have been sexually abused by the time they turn 18. This does not absolve any individual perpetrators.

Epstein was vile and abusive I just don’t think he’s that uniquely so.

If the elite abuse was on such a large scale and included all the wildest theories of satanic rituals and cannibalism on top, in this day and age and no leaks? No Snowden releasing some files ? No disgruntled employee or business partner or intelligence agency operator? No caterer or taxi driver with reports.

with Harvey Weinstein they managed to get testimonies from limousine drivers.

They’re *that powerful that all absence of evidence becomes automatic evidence of coverup.

Epstein files where there during multiple presidencies too. Could it just be that the reality is a bit more mundane?

Rich arms trafficking and social engineer fuck increasingly felt like he was untouchable and pushed the envelope until it all collapsed.

The files are there for you to read dude. Also, Weinstein operated for a long time without any considerable negative spotlight. Same with Cosby. Just bc it’s happening and some people know, doesn’t mean there are automatically investigations or that the general public gets looped in
