Epstein fever and the need for a cultural reset

[BLueRibbon]

A short article on the silliness of Epstein hysteria, and why it suggests that a world war and cultural reset may be needed. Quite... offensive.

I don't think a world war would be good but there's certainly a frustrating tendency to treat sex as somehow worse or more important than other more banal forms of violence. I certainly don't think Epstein acted morally but his immoral behavior ultimately extended in a circle of what, maybe 50, a 100 people? That's not as bad as just murdering 250 school girls in cold blood but well the murder is banal and being sexually manipulative and hurtful creep is sexy so to speak

Even before Iran, the same people that would act shocked about the unspeakable horrors of the Epstein case would at best be indifferent to the endless waves of dead and disfigured children in Palestine. I've seen people post on Facebook — some the exact same people that feigned disgust over my own conviction when that circulated my local posts — going as far as to justify children being killed in these wars.

I don't know what happened, but at some point western culture got its priorities deeply fucked.
