Yes, it does.
For starters, it matters because their crimes have victims. So saying those crimes don't matter means those victims don't matter.
Additionally, it's incredibly helpful for public framing and understanding, especially for the people who aren't inclined to hold their immense wealth against them.
Are there really people who would turn on them if they're pedophiles but not if they’re fucking all of us? Seems the later would be easier to convince people of.
The kid raping seems like a symptom of their power, not an independent disease. Cure them of that, and they won’t be able to get away with hurting people.
Pedophilia is no respecter of any demographic. It's a serious mental illness and a serious public health issue, mental and otherwise. Oligarchy just means it's easier to pay off the people who would segregate pedofiles from society until intensive treatment and proscribed legal remedies are met.
Yeah, we have in place ways to deal with pedophiles. But those with power have means to circumvent it. Take away their power, and they’d be treated like the rest of the pedophiles. The bigger problem is their power.
The thing is that pedophilia and child rape are two different things. Oligarchs don't rape children because they're sexually attracted to their young bodies. They do it because they get off on destroying vulnerable people with impunity.
Children are just the most vulnerable demographic.
I really dislike framing child molestation as a symptom of power, as if anyone with such power would practice child molestation.
To become really wealthy you have to be really low moral.
You could be born into it
Usually being born into it corrupts the person too.
It's starting to seem that way to me.
So the only thing that stands between younand child molestation is money and power?
No the only thing that stands between me and child molestation is my morality, but that also stands between me and money and power.
I see where you are coming from, but I don't think money and power as a sole criteria automatically makes someone a child molester, though I am guessing they are a very well represented demographic in the child molestation sector.
Yeah, honestly, I wasn't really trying to establish a cause and effect. More that the out-of-control wealth disparity appears to have enabled a large number of vile, evil scum to rise up the top.
Well, those things I do agree with.
I think it’s more likely that those willing to ruthlessly abuse, exploit and manipulate others and the physical world in terms of resources are also much more likely to be the type of person who’s sexuality revolves around those same things. These guys are pedophiles sure but I’m sure they’re no loving, kind and compassionate lovers to the wives, partners or paid companions. It’s a different kind of sadism. I think that “the only thing standing in the way” is that I have no desire for that money and power and that alone is protective, beyond that I don’t have access to it so I’m not at risk of being corrupted. The human race has a love affair with hierarchy and money is easiest way to feed that beast, and those who are the best at sacrificing their own to it win, and kids are an easy target.
Yes there really are. Some days it makes sense to me, some days it doesn't, but the Epstein thing is the only thing that cuts through Fox News.
