This is not to make light of everything else that goes on, or have folx think their suffering is a ‘distraction’. But not wanting to let this slip too far in the background.

At some point it starts to look like people are using the Epstein files to distract from the state sanctioned murders on the streets of America and the wars of territorial expansion around the world.
Like yeah, I get that the president is pedophile. I also understand that everyone who cared about that already knew this before he was re-elected and it didn’t matter then and isn’t going to suddenly matter now. The GOP controlled congress isn’t going to remove Trump for ordering his goons to murder Americans, engaging in acts of war all over the earth, or turning the US into a pirate state, what makes you think they are going to remove him for being a sex offender (again, something we ALREADY KNOW)?
This is starting to feel like Mueller report during his first term. “Oh no, don’t do anything about Trump because this is going to sink him! Don’t react to what he is doing, that’s what he wants, just let the system work and its all going to be OK.” Yeah, that is not going to happen. NOTHING that comes out of the epstein files is going to solve Trump and telling people to pin everything on that instead of actually doing something about the crap that is happening today is probably helping him more than anything else.
Yep. There are worse things going on and nothing will happen with the Epstein files while trump owns the DoJ
I have stopped caring. The people around him don’t fucking care. They never did.
Let’s talk about the warmongering and murders of the populace, the suspension of liberties, and all of the bad shit that’s going on. The kid fucking is clearly not a deal breaker for people who keep him in power.
I think the same is happening with “don’t fight back, this is exactly what he wants” campaign.
It all seems artificially forced.
Also, piefed dev is covering up for usauthoritarianism, so I’d be very wary using his instance to talk about us authoritarianism.
He seems to have a hardcoded list of words which blocks communities containing them from federating with all piefed instances.

Agree on all points.
It’s currently the most promising way to get these people out of power, and by extension, halt the enabling of fascists on the streets.
I highly doubt it. They people who support him, will continue to support him, and do mental gymnastics to not believe it anyway,
No it isn’t. Everyone that is in the Epstein files is already known to be a total creep and we are a long way from being a country that holds wealthy and powerful people accountable for that conduct.
This is so incredibly naive.
The system will not save you. It is what is actively oppressing you in the first place. Wake the fuck up.
You’re the only one thinking about the system.
No they’re not. If we take it for granted, then nothing will really change.
