Comment on Trigger warning - This Epstein stuff is making me sick...

I’m not sure what point you’re getting at. We shouldn’t try to do anything, because the guilty are too powerful?

No. I’m saying we’ve had far too many false hope protests that have wasted decades of time and uncountable resources, and the people in power are literally incapable of the empathy involved to produce results. In fact, the latest craze in right-wing doctrine is calling empathy a weakness, just to make sure any vestiges that still exist within their voters is excised out.
If you want to do something, do something more forceful. These people only care about a few things: not losing their fortunes, and not dying. If you can make them afraid for one of those two things, pursue that.

They view the poor as expendable toys. I wish citizens would get their shit together and clap back.

Your first post read as doomerism to me, but it sounds like quite the opposite actually. We need to organize hard and build something off the back of this horrible state of affairs, right? Maybe something like a general strike until those identified in the documents are behind bars?

I am normally a pretty optimistic person but I need time to mentally work through the traumatic shit I saw in the files for and few days. It was a lot. Absolutely gut wrenching.
