Only so far as the Epstein files themselves were a distraction that gave false hope that people would change their beliefs. It’s only a language for frustration; a way for people to justify themselves turning away from ideologies that no longer serve them. Some Trumpians might turn from him, some neoliberals might rethink their support of our old system, but they’ll only care about Epstein because their personal wallets and rights were jeopardized.
120 Days of Sodom was written in 1785 on the eve of the French revolution. It was adapted into the film Salò, which set the story in German occupied Italy. None of this depravity by untouchable elites is new. People with so much institutional power will always do shit like this. The only solution is to resist the power no matter if it’s unpopular, no matter if they send goons to kill you for calling the system what it is. They are replaceable villains, thus the only thing to fight is anyone’s ability to be above us mortals.
