@pluralistic Well, you would have heard the advice, "Whenever you see 'the economy' mentioned, substitute 'rich people's yachts'."
Even more true than we thought.
It's hard to talk about the Epstein class without thinking about "The Economy" - "The Economy" in the sense of a kind of mystical, free-floating entity whose health or sickness determines the outcomes for all the rest of us, whom we must make sacrifices to if we are to prosper.

Epstein Backed ‘Billionaires’ Dinner’ Network of Prominent Anti-Trans Figures:
(The network in question also tried to discredit women who accused powerful men of rape. Transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, rape culture: it's all part of the same phenomenon.)

So many things about right wing ideology that seemed inexplicable to me become understandable as the #EpsteinFiles get released.
15 years ago, no one cared about #trans people. They were free to lead their boring lives. Then kind of all at once, demagogues around the world became actively anti-trans, spouting rhetoric and pushing legislation. "Why now?" I wondered then and to this day.
Because Jeffrey Epstein was anti-trans. He asked his friends to take up the mantle and of course they did. The wave of anti-trans sentiment we suffer through today is because people wanted to suck up to a rich pedophile. No deeper conviction than that, no coherent philosophy. Epstein said so and thus it was.
He is no longer around to ask but I can only assume his motivation was because while sexually abusing teenaged girls Epstein did not want to be surprised by a penis. This whole moral panic is because of the sexual abuse preferences of one billionaire influencer. Good job, everyone, carrying the torch of a pedophile.
The 'sort of' is doing a lot of work here.

So, to repeat something I've said before about conspiracies – there are only two kinds of successful conspiracies:

”It’s not just Epstein. That’s what these files reveal. Epstein is communicating with hundreds of men in these millions of pages. Men from every country and power structure… We know that more than 1,000 women and girls were trafficked and there are hundreds of Epstein survivors. As well as those who tragically didn’t survive… We must keep them front and centre, always.”
