@Scoll@todon.eu I don’t even know what conclusions we would need to jump to. When Epstein was first elected, then-US Attorney Alex Acosta broke the law to give Epstein a sweetheart deal and then Trump rewarded Acosta with a cabinet post. The Epstein Files that have been released contain explicit accusations by victims that Trump raped them when they were children. It’s all already out in the public. Every time there is a new revelation and nothing happens, the inclination is to imagine that there must be yet another revelation that, were it to occur, must surely be the one that Makes Something Happen.

@HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" But why do we do nothing? I know why. Remember Aaron Bushnell. He protested nonviolently without hurting anyone else. The story in the media was not about Israel but mental health. Remember Snowden. The story in the media was about national security and china/russia spying. Not about the surveillance state. Remember the Black Panthers. The story in the media was about the threat of violence. Not from the police who KILLED them, but from the people who carried rifles like they were told was permitted. Remember Kent State. The story in the media was not about Vietnam. It was not about the killing. It was about radicalisation on college campuses. THE MEDIA. "The revolution will not be televised"
