There's literally a post yesterday showing this is coming from a kremlin disinfo group.

Oh wow, that is good to know, albeit a link would be better than a statement

As.com.te is a state-ran Turkish media. Good to know. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anadolu_Agency

Who isn't in the Epstein files at this point? It'd be a shorter list.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'm not. Are you?

[–] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 months ago

I guess that’l have to be good enough, ZoopZeZoop for world dictator!

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com -3 points 2 months ago (3 children)

God, you people are so literal. You know I mean people in power. Get your head out if your ass.

[–] B0rax@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago

You do understand that was a joke, yes?

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lol What do you mean, "you people"?

[–] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You americans and your pronouns.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I am pro-noun. What are you one of those verb-ians?

[–] hector@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Guilty as charged. I am in incorruptible verbier. I love to verb the wicked too. I just verbed someone actually.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I knew it! Better than an adjectivian, I suppose.

So far... there's still millions of documents to go and they've already uncovered Andrew (formerly Prince) and supposedly the Dalai Lama... so. I say again, the list may be shorter to name those not in it when it's all over (those rich, famous and powerful for YOU "the dense" PEOPLE)

Alright, if anyone non-western comes up in the files you'll automatically label them as western because of any association with imperialism/captilism thereby solidifying your claim? That shit is everywhere! I'd bet the Prince of UAE is on that list. UAE isn't western, it isn't even considered westernized, but it is capitalist economy. I'd say it is largely western yes, so far, but give it time.. more non-westerners will be exposed because fuckin everybody is on that god damn list!

[–] orc_princess@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Not the Chinese leadership, or the DPRK's, or Iran. Their point is that compradors that are aligned with western capital seemed awfully eager to be doing cruel shit with Epstein and other elites, while those opposed to them and seeking sovereignty weren't.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago

I can't find Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, but Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem is mentioned very prominently, who has close ties to the Maktoums.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Are we seriously trying to argue that the UK isn't western? What are you even trying to say?
