I'm sick of hearing this. white supremacy and fascism is the real goal of the administration. the Epstein stuff is a speedbump they had to deal with along the way. if no Epstein information had ever come out they would still be doing white supremacy fascist shit

Also, let's say they release it all tomorrow, what changes?

The release of the information implies that it's no longer part of any active investigation. If there was anything in there that would lead to criminal charges, those charges are already old news.

We literally had a release a couple weeks ago where someone testified Trump contributed to / knew of a murder.

And most people have already forgotten about it.

They won’t release it because it has names of other countries leaders so they get to do whatever they want holding the release of the files over their heads. Like look my people don’t care that I’m a pedo they won’t impeach me. But if you try and stop us from invading other countries we WILL release the files with your names in them

I want justice for victims and to stop trafficking as much as anyone, but everyone pinning their hopes on the Epstein files being a backdoor to dismantling this fascist takeover are delusional.

It does make Trumplestiltskin lose his shit and anything that can make him rage can also make him possibly drop dead of a coronary and I'm all for that.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

That just means another fascist takes his place, possibly one that has less skeletons in their closet to make them rage in the way you'd like them to.

Not saying the world wouldn't be a bit better if he was gone, it just wouldn't make as much a difference as both his detractors and his supporters might presume.

This is true.

The problem is that we're at the end of a 40+ years long rollout of regressive social conservatism.

ALSO, the generational amnesia is settling in, now that the last of the WWII veterans and survivors of the NAZIs are all but extinct.

It's not a mystery why 20th century history regarding the sacrifices of Allies, and the reasons behind them haven't been taught in US History classes like it used to be.

I watch the various videos on youtube with the conservative kids in debates and I see lots of misinformation and distortions expressed in the things they say and believe. It tells me they never have known anyone that experienced the NAZIs or the Concentration camps.

I knew lots of people when I was a kid - many Jewish refugees that were teenagers who made it out of the camps and emigrated to America.

It wasn't unusual to see the number tattoos the Germans put on their forearms. That shit was real and it sucked and the kids today have no idea what it asked of German people - how they were expected to defile themselves morally and spiritually - and what it took from everyone that fought against it.

I fear that we're gonna come back around to this cycle of degradation and destruction sooner than we should.

The idea the Epstein files scare their diseased administration is getting a little silly. Trump can fuck a kid on live TV and USA won't do anything.
