>The opening of the Epstein File Ark of the Covenant blinds nobody in a world scorched by the merciless sun of a post-truth internet. The statistical possibility of a foreign government cooperating with federal agencies to help find toddlers for billionaires to facefuck doesn't matter as much to the average shitposter as the potential reality of the fall guy having dropped multiple hard-Rs in a COD Black Ops II lobby.
>Truthfully, human beings aren't wired to give a shit about what's happening outside of a 25 mile radius of their existence. The idea of something happening somewhere bothers us because when an event is depicted verbally or through media, it creates a bubble reality inside of our minds where we're forced to comprehend truths about the world which we are too small to fully comprehend. If you are brave enough to accept an uncomfortable truth, yet powerless to do anything to stop it, then you risk succumbing to the trauma of powerlessness.
>The psychological band-aid to this trauma manifests through symbolic acts. Somewhere across this nation, there are thousands of men in sunglasses wearing t-shirts that say Kill Your Local Pedophile who ideate in violent retributional fantasies while never being willing to overthrow the federal government or even simply stop paying money to streaming services so they and their family can watch movies and TV shows made by pedophiles.
>Somewhere across this nation, a waitress, a gas station clerk, a car mechanic, and an office worker will all scoff and make a derisive comment about pedophile bankers running the world while each of them would shamefully stay quiet about witnessing a rape if a mere five figure sum were presented to them.
>Somewhere in America's heartland, a staunch principled couple will lambast the pedo degenerates in office and proclaim that our nation must be cleansed in blood, yet as soon as they hear of their niece getting molested by an older sibling, the victim will be shunned for attempting to destroy the family by piercing a bubble of denial.
>The root cause of Nothing Ever Happens comes from this mechanism of verbal condemnation. All that needs to be done is simply hear and repeat the mantra: "Pedophile bankers run the world"
>Say it over and over again while doing absolutely nothing about it until it becomes a fact of life. It doesn't even matter if it's happening, what matters is that you said "fuck you" and killed a guy in your imagination and now you can carry on. As long as it doesn't affect your life. As long as it doesn't happen to you or your family.
>What's exceptionally intriguing and worrying is the possibility that the peasant class' hypocrisy being unveiled may simply result in a mass distillation of taboo towards accepted discomforting transgression. The concept of a pedophile in power once held a damning suicide-inducing connotation, a crime so reviled that its unveiling could be used to threaten and control a figurehead forever. It's quite possible that within your lifetime a sitting US senator will parade around a harem of his teenage catamites, one for each day of the week, and your normie coworker peers will do nothing more than smirk and shrug like an Ancient Roman plebeian.
