Moral rot:

[applegrove]

The Epstein Sex Slavery business - let call it what it is - proves that too much wealth and too much power in too few hands is a moral corruption of society. Until we’re ready to end wealth hoarding, this will continue to happen. It’s what the very wealthy always do: they get away with atrocities.

1. One reason they hoard so much wealth and power is so they can commit any and all crimes

their hearts and libidos desire. With no consequences whatsoever.

The Epstein sex trafficking for the wealthy and powerful was an open secret for a long time.
Everyone looked the other way or covered it up.

2. And that...

Is the awful truth and everyone knows it.

8. Yep.

They won't admit it, but they know it.

13. Exactly. I mean, haven't we known about Epstein..

for at least the last nine years?

[Irish_Dem]

14. The wealthy and powerful have known about Epstein for decades.

[ananda]

15. That too. But they're not going to rat on each other...

are they?

For, say, reasons like: scared of having a hit put on them,
loss of business, endless lawsuits, corrupted LEO's and
judges... etc.

That's why nobody should have that much money and
influence.

4. Sadly, our societies seem to have evolved

to be based on the fiction that the wealthy and/or noble do not commit crimes.

9. Well it is more that we have been programmed to think that they are the epitome of our society.

As opposed to the fact that it takes someone lacking basic humanity to hoard that much wealth.

Some of us see the wealthy for the leeches they are. The rest put them on a pedestal and proclaim that these people are the best society has to offer.

Which may well be the most frightening thing I have ever heard.

6. I look forward

To the dismantling of society that may come from unearthing the Epstein info

7. This kind of thing happens in other situations too

For example, war and religion.

I’m sure there’s also lots of domestic violence and SA that goes on in average homes.

I don’t buy the premise that morality will be fixed just by getting rid of the wealthiest 1%.

10. Wealth & income inequality are at unsustainable levels. Corruption is no surprise in that environment. . . . nt

12. Except for nonwhite very rich folks like Diddy and R Kelly...

Not condoning just comparing … the scale of the TrumpStein affair overshadows everything that has come before it …even Me too.
