Well confirmation that 2016 was a election between two pedophiles. And you wonder why things have gotten so bad.
Bill Clinton was a candidate in 2016?
I just don’t understand this. I mean, I can comprehend the facts, and I acknowledge that it’s true, but I don’t get it.
I don’t understand how something so nauseatingly reprehensible can be alluring, especially on such a large scale. I could almost grasp it if we were talking about a weird, rare kink… but we’re not. It’s way too common, and an open secret among too many people. How can so many people be so incredibly depraved, or even look the other way, when such awful, nightmarish things are happening?
All I can do is shake my head and think to myself “people are fucked up, man.”
It is not a list of pedos though there probably are a few on the list. Hawking for instance accepted an invitation to a conference (funded by Epstein) on gravity along with 19 other scientists.
I’m sure that conference on gravity was all Trump was on the list for too.
I’m not gonna put the s. Figure it out </Letterkenny>
From my, admittedly limited, understanding of Epstein’s operations and why it’s been so hard to actually nail anyone who recived his ‘services’, while he definitely prostituted minors he did not only prostitute minors, and the full list of which was which died with him. Most of his ‘clients’ got young but legal, but younger could be acquired if desired. It helped insulate him because when people in thouse circles talked about it they could be assured that the ‘escorts’ were fully legal and anyone making a fuss was just exaggerating their age to get attention.
I think the root of the problem is that, from Hollywood actors and Celebrity appearances to Fluxbait here on Lemmy, people are constantly shown and told that young is beautiful and desireable when it comes to women, and the younger the more beautiful and desirable. We know that what styles and appearances are considered attractive varies by culture, and our culture is based around young and smooth when it comes to women.
Interestingly, it doesn’t seem to apply to men as much. What are pitched as hottest men in film and magazines are often twenty to thirty something’s with a decent amount of muscle, but when it comes to women it’s thin, snooth, and just turned 18.
This very much isn’t a justification, but I think it is a reason.
