    “And besides, there’s no reason to cry because all of this is nothing but a distraction from the Epstein files anyway. You know? Epstein? What do you mean, you never heard of him? You don’t follow American news?”

      I’m waiting for the “it’s only a distraction from Epstein” people to be saying this in line to the gas chambers. “These camps are just a distraction from the Epstein files”.

      Like, we know. But NOTHING is going to be done about Epstein until the power of the state is seized from the ruling class of pedophile capitalist. So, maybe, you can work with us on getting there first.

      The “it’s just a distraction” crowd seems to think that if only we all focused on Epstein than somehow the current systems and powers would provide justice. To me it’s a means to justify their own inaction. A bit of denial that the systems of liberal democracy are not flawed. That we just need “focus” and we can fix it.

      They won’t. They never will. They are designed from the ground up to protect every single pedophile in those files. ICE is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It is an EXTENSION of it. The powers of the pedophilic capitalist class are rounding up children dude. What do you think that means?

      Edit: Your comment could have been sarcastic. So don’t take my annoyed rant personally. I’m just exhausted with the “it’s just a distraction” crowd.
