Any politics anywhere in the world. Inevitably it'll be 99% US stuff, but that's not a rule.

This community works differently to how most politics communities work. It has strict rules designed to facilitate productive discussion. You can be rude, to a point, but you can't participate in bad faith:

The idea is to make the discussion productive. Let's see how it works. Maybe this is a fool's errand but IDK how any set of moderation could be worse than lemmy.world.

Other misc rules:

No fucking shit.

Welcome to what we all knew when it happened.

They weren't sure if fascism was going to stick back then. Now he would have been pardoned.

Epstein's brother? Never heard of him.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 37 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Epstein’s brother wants to hit the talk show circuit.

Of fucking course he could name names, a LOT of people wanted him to STFU.

While I’m all for blaming trump for something like murder, this isn’t singularly or directly on his hands.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Were those people the sitting president with the DOJ led by another turbo-rich weirdo whose dad gave Epstein a job teaching underage kids when he had zero qualifications to do so?

[–] reptar@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Hey, that sounds relevant

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

epstein's sibling please host a talk show better than dr. phil challenge

[–] zebidiah@lemmy.ca 21 points 4 days ago (2 children)

... How do we really know Epstein is even dead tho?

*Pushes tin foil hat back

How do we know he is not living under an assumed identity and throwing parties in Dubai?

And hey! Make it look like an accident will you!?

...this morning authorities have found a weird accidental suicide and here to talk about it is Scott Fitzgerald Dela Mont our accidental suicide expert: yes Steve, judging from the non existing video as Epstein tripped on his own on to a previously prepared nuse made out of his violently removed PJs we can deduce that this indeed was an accidental suicide. After hitting his head on the floor and passing out, the prisoner had to have lifted his own body what appears to be 9ft... Scott, is 9 ft necessary or can you purposefully just stop breathing on the floor? Well Steve, that's a difficult question to answer, I wasn't there! I swear!.....well folks! There you have It! Completely accidental!

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I still think being about to go to prison as the world's most famous pedophile is a pretty strong incentive for suicide

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

dude sniffed his own farts too long for sure, actually reading the epstein. on the realization all this was coming to light and the myth was being unwound...him killing himself really not that wild of an idea. "but what about the guards" some might ask...this is the US prison system we're talking about, nobody gives a fuck about prisoners especially not pedophiles. they probably egged him on and told him to do it already.

pedo's have their own hierarchy, same as everyone. epstein considered himself one of the "good ones" who atleast had the standard of waiting till they had their first period. even epstein was disgusted by trump because trump had no such hangup.

[–] okmko@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

The standard of waiting for the first period 🤢. Whelp I'm now officially horrified of Game of Thrones and other fiction that touches on that whole can of cat food.

[–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

You can pretty easily convince someone to do it themselves.

Either you offer them worse alternatives (there were plans to put him with incredibly violent cell mates, for example) or threaten those they care about.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

I mean, duh

[–] artyom@piefed.social 6 points 4 days ago

Just speculation, as far as I can tell.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 days ago

I don't get why he cares, he wouldn't lose any followers.
