    that’s only people paying some baseline attention

    it never ceases to amaze me how much the epstein class can get away with by simply distracting people.

      i wouldn’t say it’s so simple though. at least in my corner of the world, there has been a decades long campaign to fuck education and a lot of propaganda to get people to be proud of ignorance.

      then massive campaigns on tv and the internet to push bullshit and disinformation, while suppressing anything of actual importance. and then there’s people who want to be distracted from their shitty lives by every means necessary…

        yes, it sounds simple because it’s simple at a high level view; but i can understand how the strategies to distract people are varied and come from multiple sources.

        i’m marveling that people are unable to see the impact that these distractions have and boggle to understand why they can’t see that any of it is intentional.

          the real marvel is how long they’ve been using the same think of the kids ass tactics and it still works after decades.

            Ikr?! It’s like they’re still stuck in 1953 but I don’t blame them because it’s still fucking working somehow. Lol
