Granted I'm a middle aged woman but I still don't get this supposed obsession by so many rich guys for sex with young kids.
Being honest here- its extremely deviant behavior

These vast networks and rings
Isn't this kinda unlikely?

I see your point. a couple potential theories:

1) even if Epstein had hundreds of clients, that's only a tiny fraction of the rich and powerful

2) I have no basis for this but it seems logical that the sort of person who pursues power and vast wealth would be more likely to get off on power disparity

alternate explanation: a lot of people who are dumb as poo poo end up in the intelligence space because the requirements for entry are less "be incredibly competent" like in the movies and are actually more like "be a boring square through college and join the correct frat." then once they are in intelligence, they think they're super smart and competent, like in the movies, and live entirely on their own farts. also the broadly defined "government intelligence" space is at least 100k jobs so if even 3% of people match the above, that's thousands of people who will believe anything.

the FBI is almost entirely staffed by Breitbart readers who forward goofy poo poo to their grandkids. these are not super competent people all around

It's also worth considering that the name might have been an invention in the first place, with the "Epstine" blackboard photo this thread's posted a few times. Maybe other people want to take on the title?

I think a phonetic spelling of the teacher's name on the whiteboard is extremely common. probably extra so for the hemophiliac level blue bloods who went to that school.

I'm presuming he pronounced his name different at the time or was just an idiot. I'd say half my teachers had phonetic spellings of their names on their boards; it seems like the least weird thing about Epstein

Does anyone have that video of the PR guy talking off the record about the Clintons? He mentions an actor who liked to get off in the back of movie theatres so they'd stock the theatre with their employees to avoid a scandal in that same clip, if that helps. I think it was Dustin Hoffman.

it’s not anime alone either, the sci fi genre as a whole has a history of doing it.

I can’t speak to anime but for sci fi it happened to be dominated in its golden age by guys who were basically incels even in the time and place that society basically assigned a wife to even the biggest losers, so them being mega creeps and creating a mega creep culture was inevitable

imo “the singularity” is so insanely stupid I can’t imagine someone coming up with it maliciously, cause who could possibly believe someone else would be dumb enough to believe in it. I think it organically came out of Computer Man brain because Conputer Man has a pathological need to come up with reasons, even insane ones, for why the computer is all that matters.

then thereafter the singularity provides a lot of useful justifications for why actually, you deserve to have a billion dollars, and actually, the worst thing you could do with your money is give it to the needy.

I don’t think the existence of Falun Gong is owed to the cia. I do think their unlimited access to western media and select western politicians is, as well as their funding structure that enables them to run a news empire that no one pays for, and a huge traveling anti communist stage show with an unlimited advertising budget. it’s very similar to how Rev Moon was a genuine crazy person with genuine control of a genuine cult, but that cult became highly convenient for the KIA and CIA and had its reach dramatically amplified through them.

I read some accounts of branch Davidians (not related to the assault, just day to day life) and they were terrifying, because

1) the believers come across as completely regular American idiots. I guess I had a cult member stereotype and was thinking only a certain kind of desperate person was vulnerable, but no

2) they didn’t even seem to like David Koresh. It did not take a mega charismatic figure to lead the cult, just a loser with gumption.

in combination the impression I got was “I just want to live my life, but drat it, Jesus Christ reincarnated and he needs me. and I don’t even like the guy!”

it’s like there is just a button in the brain that can be pushed.

If you’re an American very partisan right winger you kind of need to develop a framework for why your side’s pedos are actually deep cover heroes stopping the pedos. something like qanon was inevitable when trump himself became the guy since he has personal Epstein connections.

in contrast, contemporary liberalism is all about saying The System Is Good. so, partisan liberals don’t need to make a liberal version of qanon. everything to do with Epstein outside of what was very strictly proven in court is simply and obviously ‘misinformation.’
