    Good. Suffer, you utter shitgibbon. I want you to be as terrified as everyone else who you had to ‘involve’ yourself with was.

    Bet you’re sweating now, fuck face.

        It’s in the same vein as douchecanoe but rarer. Rarer than a cockwomble or fucknugget but not as rare as a wankpuffin.

          Big fan of douchecanoe. Been using it for many years.

          I once dropped ‘douchecanoe’ in a convo with my manager in reference to someone we both knew outside of the company, without thinking. She gave me one of those “hol’ up - what did you just say?” reactions. New to her, she was amused.

          You are now the second person besides myself that I’ve ever encountered using it. I have to wonder if it wasn’t used in a somewhat obscure book or movie or something that introduced it to a few of us who have been disseminating it ever since.

    Tormented like he’s being sex trafficked under-age? Afraid like if he doesn’t do what the men say that they’ll torture him and he’s powerless to stop them? That kind of tormented?

      Others provided many explanations, but in Epstein island’s case I think it was a sick rite of a passage for those feeling they are the new elite. By doing something so wrong together, like mafia, they enter a circle where everyone is silent about others’ crime as they all share the same dirt and would all be discovered after one of them starts to speak. They are expected not to talk about that, or other morbid deals they discussed there in private, and it keeps them alert. Some of visitors could be into that being dangerous pervs and power addicts, and Epstein shared trafficked children like wine with premium guests, but the more important aspect is that child abuse was a glue that cemented that sect, shut their mouths for life and led to a perfectly timed murder of an organizer in a guarded cell.

        And surely whoever held the evidence also used it for leverage, whether by explicit blackmail or merely implicitly as a chilling effect. I wonder how many investigations got black-holed by passing through a compromised leader’s desk, or got iced by a simple phone call.

        I don’t know why conspiracy theorists talk about subterranean lizard shapeshifters when the real shadow government is right here, just an inch below the surface of public knowledge.

      Hoarding wealth in greater quantities than you could ever use in order to have power over others desperate to just survive is abusive to start with. They’re probably exposed to other people with all variants of abusive tendencies and trained to believe they are better than and deserving of the suffering of others. Being raised in that environment will definitely encourage a much higher proportion of other abusive behaviors.

      Serious answer, as someone who’s been through years of therapy.

      Pretty much everyone rich and powerful experienced intense trauma early in life. And one of the horrible ways our early childhood trauma plays itself out is by causi us to recreate it on younger generations. You don’t just wake up one day as a child molester. That shit was visited upon you in some fashion when you were a child.

      Our entire culture is based on generational trauma (strongly suggest you read the Myth of Normal by Gabor Mate).

      People who seek power and fame are almost all incredibly damaged from a very young age. Not necessarily an excuse, but if you want to stop the cycle you have to be able to step back far enough to see it.

      I don’t think there are, not pedos anyways, these children are largely post pubescent, which means by definition they aren’t?

      I’m pretty sure it’s a power thing. Cross wealth and power with taboo fetishes, and this is what you get.


      If we want to sus out truth, we have to first look at these problems correctly. We will never figure these things out, and find actual fixes, if we don’t do that first.

      Though, most threads like these really have no interest in actually solving these problems, which means taking a hard & critical look at them, but instead focus largely on shit-slinging because that feels better.

          My bad, I thought there was a genuine interest in actually solving these problems. Which starts with analyzing it, you know, like professionals.

          This really is just like reddit, low quality discussion, emotional, meme, and joke based threads…etc

            It is nobody’s profession to solve problems on social media. In fact, few problems can be solved on social media. Additionally, few professionals are interested in solving problems for free, and in the comments of some random thread on obscure social media. I don’t know what you thought lemmy was but it is effectively reddit for people who don’t want to support reddit.

    Reminder that the king was also best buds with Jimmy Savile and I refuse to believe he wasn’t aware of the rumors. Also refuse to believe the king didn’t know Epstein, when Epstein was partying on Royal properties with the Kings family and friends.

      The entire Royal Family knew exactly what was going on. No coincidence that as soon as Andrew made an absolute embarrassment of himself in that infamous interview, he’s suddenly out of sight and the British media suddenly shuts up about it.

      Everyone knew, especially the 45th US president seen in many photos and videos with Epstein.
