the right wing literally worships Epstein's former best friend, the government official, celebrity, and business leader Donald J. Trump, as a god

it's objectively a fact that Epstein was connected to wealthy, powerful, famous people. the FBI itself has come out and said this - before it was taken over by one of those people. by suggesting that discussing this fact is akin to right-wing conspiracies like QAnon, axios is literally covering for pedophiles. is their CEO in the black book too?

I 100% believe that pizzagate/QAnon was a psyop to make the public forever associate all discussion of wealthy pedophile rings with whacked-out conspiracy theories. now talking about objectively true, well-documented facts makes you sound crazy to the average low-information liberal

I agree that everyone who's able should contribute to society, and that's why I propose sending all CEOs, investment bankers and venture capitalists into forced labor camps

seems like Ukrainian nationalists hate Ukrainians and want them to die. weird

could have gone the rest of my life without knowing that Charlie Kirk walks around all day with a shitty doodoo ass, scratches said shitty doodoo ass with his bare hands and then doesn't wash the shitty doodoo from the hands that he scratched his shitty doodoo ass with

counterpoint: games are also bad, because they are developed by, you guessed it, gamers

(don't take this too seriously, I know there are some good games out there)

and drank the "technology will make everything better bro trust me" kool-aid

ugh same. got caught up in the ridiculous tech-optimism of the early-to-mid 2010s. I thought self-driving cars and VR were the frickin' future. it's hard to imagine now but there was so little public criticism of big tech back then

watching the bombs drop in Baghdad at age 10 was probably my first "are we the baddies" moment. after that I could trace my political development through the punk bands I listened to as a teen. when I liked Green Day I was anti-Bush but not really a leftist, my first exposure to anti-capitalism came from listening to Refused, and then getting into more anarcho-punk bands made me hate cops and the US military but still had "communism bad" brainworms. by my early 20s I had slipped back into being more of a radlib/socdem (Bernie 2016) and like most of you gradually became more of a socialist/communist from there

one of his former employees, Lauren Bousfield, has alleged that he fired her for coming out as trans

it's not relevant to this post obviously but I think people should know about that

I'm a 30 year old living at my parents house who recently got a job, in public service no less, and I can't afford rent. very cool!

not a gamer though so I've got that going for me
