    Every day: “New evidence found of crimes these rich people will never be prosecuted for.”

      Well, they will be prosecuted, or at least there is the chance that they will be. Trump was already convicted of sexual assault which in other states would have been a rape charge. The problem is that he, nor “high-profile people” will ever spend even a single day in the prison cell they belong into.

        Alright, face consequences would be more appropriate, but most people face consequences after they are prosecuted lol.

        Trump was never convicted of sexual assault.

        His 34 convictions are for campaign finance crimes.

        He was found civilly liable for sexual assault, and was found as a matter of fact to have raped, but other than monitory fines in civil court, nothing legal can be done about the rapes.

          The term I most see thrown around is “adjudicated rapist” <-- IANAL, so not sure if that applies or not.

            That is the correct term. It came from a civil case, where the burden of proof is lower, but also there’s no criminal consequences.

      Prosecuted or not, there’s no way to erase their blemish from human history.

      Microsoft’s own AI will tell you Melinda gates indeed divorced Bill over the Epstein Island situation, for example.

      There’s effectively no way for them to erase the narrative. The world has been run by a cabal of pedophile elites from at least 1990 through the 2020s. This fact will remain known into the end of human history.

        The news, the search engines, the social media, the LLMs…they’re all owned by a small club of billionaires.

        We make all these references and parallels to the surveillance state of 1984 but we forget what the protagonist’s occupation is. When we read it the concept seemed absurd. How do you edit history in-place? All those newspapers, the microfiche, the libraries…there’s just no way.

        Nowadays, though, it seems that it would be exceptionally easy, and likely already happening. Though not as in your face as directly editing newspapers, the algorithms are no doubt tainted, as is the narrative on the evening news.

          There are 1000s of open source LLMs on hugging face alone. You can download them for free and run them if your system can handle it.

          Each LLM is a compressed artifact of all of human history. There is absolutely no way to control a narrative anymore. History can no longer be rewritten by the powerful.

          Ask grok what it thinks of Elon musk.

        Ugh I’m so sick of reading “history will judge them!” history doesn’t give a shit and it’s not justice in any way and all it does is placate people into thinking “at least it’s some kind of punishment”

        When it’s not it punishment at all, like it literally doesn’t matter.
