The legal system created these terms, and the media is complacent. People are adverse to hard issues, and it makes those issues even harder.
What's even more fucked is just how personally responsible Epstein is to the modern right wing movement. While online Nazis and crass as fuck assholes were common, the way how they became such a concerted and active and effective politicial movement was done entirely through Epstein motivated and funded shit.
You know how so many major gaming channels always make a ton of right wing advocacy? Their money and funding came from the motherfucker and his network.
I remember when online gaming channels were AVGN type fun stuff. Either with retro or with modern games.
Mercenaries are just doing what they are told. Without publicly funded independent media, that's what you get.
Even the term "soliciting prostitution with a minor" really shouldn't exist because it implies some sort of consent by the minor.
It's because of they don't play nice with the government they get uninvited to government press conferences, especially under the Orange administration.
It's called "sane-washing" and the media won't stop doing it. Even NPR, though less so recently.
You would think with their funding cut off they would stop doing the "fair and balanced" act and stop carrying water for Republican liars.
You would. But one thing I noticed is that even when money isn't involved people will gravitate towards bullying, bullies, and harassment by default.
All the media we consumed as kids of the underdog kid getting even with bullies? That is wish fulfillment and fantasy. In real life even a genuinely hard working and intelligent kid being harassed by a dumbass with serious academic and behavioral issues will have adults and authority figures take the side of abuser over him.
In real life it is like that all the fucking time. Trump in his first term when he HAD to have actually competent people talk to him he would sarcastically call them Einstein or childish nicknames for smart people before just dismissing what they have to say. Thinking his own instincts were always superior to what anyone else had to say.
Seeing the media try to make what Epstein and the others did look somehow legal or acceptable is exactly what I expected them to do. They will still recycle the old, tired 'Muslim grooming gangs' narrative to paint all Muslims and/or brown people as rapists when literally all the major leadership were ritualisticly fucking children and beating them up afterwards.
"If I just lick hard enough, maybe they'll take the boot off me"
I listened to part of a segment on my local NPR station last night about melania's new movie. The reporter was gushing about how great and strong melania is; how she loves fashion and children and supports her husband.
I was revolted and thought to myself about how far NPR had fallen.
Those traits are admirable* but not noteworthy. Millions of devoted parents and spouses exist, but my mother and my wife don't have access to a film crew to document them and pick highlights.
*unless your spouse is a known domestic abuser, pedophile, rapist, fraudster (...) and actively dismantling democracy in America, in which case... maybe don't support him unless you are also a monster.
The same people who are in the files run the media. Not 100% positive, but this might have something to do with it.
They do everything they can to normalize it. It goes back to when I was a kid, Britney Spears was 16 when she made that hit me baby one more time song and video, while I liked it cause I was 14 at the time, I feel like I can see now that this is the continued work of the elites to normalize the fetishization of minor girls.
Because they are actually okay with all of it. Kind of like how Diddlin Donnie can shit himself in front of a room full of people and not 1 person yells “OMFG he shit himself!”
Totally agree, but it is also our responsibility to stop consuming it. Stop using X before chomo musk starts his Social Education addon. When everyone is logging into S E X and seeing pictures of AI generated naked children will people finally stop!?
Seriously get the fuck off X! I am going to start considering anyone still using that platform a supporter of child rape.
I am glad I was never on Twitter. I did make an account many, many, many years ago but never used it.
If I run a news website, I would say "the Epstein Files contains evidence that Trump sexually abused these poor girls in a private island". Seriously!
