Not just a billionaire class. It's pretty clear that this went deep into a number of other elite subclasses, and that it needed relatively little direct coordination, precisely because they already commonly understood that ALL OF THEM were in danger from #MeToo.
I think it’s obvious that the Me Too movement and the trial of Harvey Weinstein sparked an extreme McCarthyist response from a billionaire class that moved to buy and exert influence over media and democratic institutions, and I think that this manifested in several quite clear ways in Britain.
I sound VERY tinfoil hat and I ain’t ashamed: JK Rowling invited Epstein to the opening on her cash-grab Harry Potter play in 2018 which is also the time she started being QUITE the transphobic tweeter. She also despised Corbyn and was ALWAYS posting about that. McSweeney is Mandelson’s protégé.

It’s not that there were meetings in smoke-filled rooms, but it is that the super rich decided some time in 2018 that they wouldn’t put up with this organic uprisings for justice and democracy malarkey any longer, and they and their employees seem to have all understood it was crackdown time.

Can't believe I hadn't put these together. The reason MeToo caused a panic and we're still living with the subsequent Gender reverberations is the very same as that huge swathes of the international business, entertainment, political, and academic elite were besties with a sex-trafficking paedophile
in retrospect in the wake of the epstein files being released, no wonder ‘me too’ was met with such anger and ultimately those in power it meant to target never face many consequences

When you read the Epstein emails with the Eastern European women he trafficked, without looking at the addresses it’s impossible not to assume he’s the one that’s not a native English speaker.

Right, a single video of a single protester frustratedly kicking an inanimate object was sufficient to muddy the narrative some. Imagine what would happen if protesters adopted violence more broadly? Would it benefit us?
It’s the incredible restraint of our heroic observers that helps us win.

When the video came up of AP kicking the headlight Republicans leapt on it because they knew that it would mobilize some of their base to see this as civil unrest. There is a reason they made sure everyone's grandparents thinks Portland is a war zone.
It also just doesn’t make sense. No government is saying “Thank god I have to deal with MLK or else I’d have to deal with Malcolm.” They want to deal with Malcolm, he’s trivially easy to beat, he plays a game they’re going to win. They’re scared of MLK; they don’t have any real weapons against him.

Incidentally, I think reasonable people can still differ about whether this counts as thinking or understanding, but frankly either possibility is weird. Either a machine can think and reason really well, or you can somehow solve very hard open math problems without thinking/reasoning/understanding.

Just before anyone says it, no, it does not work by guessing and checking every possible proof. The universe doesn't allow that. You can't even check every possible chess game, let alone every possible set of relevant math symbols.

I'm not sure that the second possibility is weird. The primary thing we know about unsolved mathematics problems is that they have not been solved by mathematicians. Mathematicians who are smart and can think and reason really well.

Fun theory that reminds me of .. Rasputin. Who wasn't an evil wizard! Just a deeply charismatic individual who knew how to hold aristocrats in his thrall
Maybe the closest thing to a British Epstein we have is Jimmy Savile, who was also a magnet for political and media elites, against all their better ‘interests’. What did he offer them? It seems like these people are often lonely and think that the psychopath understands them.

Iirc it wasn't uncommon for Russian aristocrats to bring peasant priests to court, it was fashionable to try to connect with The Real Russia.
But Rasputin had a particular knack for being transgressive and asking v blunt questions- 'are you happy in your marriage' which captivated elites

These are remarkable numbers. Either Dear Leader knuckles under and accepts electoral catastrophe, or Amerimaidan knocks over his pathetic regime ahead of schedule.
Remarkable: 55% of noncollege whites and even 50% of rural whites say ICE is too aggressive, per new Fox News poll.
And 71% of independents disapprove of Trump on immigration.
This is digging deep into Trump's base.
