I swear the Epstein stuff is being used to drive a new group of people insane just like q-anon did to trump’s biggest supporters.
My MIL just sits in front of the TV all day with shitty YouTube conspiracy theory podcasts running about Epstein. The only thing saving her is she’s also on her iPad so she’s not really paying attention to anything, but it’s in the atmosphere
to be fair, the Epstein stuff is brain-breaking if i think about it too much, and I’ve long accepted the principle that “The bad country won the Cold War, and the victors have been loosed to take their spoils.”
for people struggling to hold onto the mythology they were taught and programmed with about this place, i can’t even imagine what its doing to their minds to confront the horror and injustice. how it contorts and tears at their understanding of their surroundings, the institutions, etc.
q-anon was like crank jibberish on a single a.m. radio station compared to how far and wide epstein brain has permeated, without a pressure release.
the longer it goes unaddressed to satisfaction in the legal system or investigated openly on legacy media, the more fragile the institutional grip on mass attention becomes.
people want a public and democratically accountable inquiry into the class that has the most power, for whom the courts and laws were designed to protect from justice. the class tension is so extreme on this issue, but people lack the material analysis to examine it. so its just an unbounded grand conspiracy.
Oh yeah, no class analysis mfs are going to go insane with this if they look into it for too long. That’s why I think its being weaponised against people without giving them the tools to deal with it properly
