"What about the people on epsteins list" is gotta be the most generic strawman.

Cna you believe that they haven't arrested every single person who ever made social contact with epstein and arrested them for rape, despite a lack of any supporting evidence that they committed a crime?

I mean i am sure that rich people get away with lots of stuff that normal people wont. But this whole "pedophile elite" thing smells very similar to the "elite jews control everything" and is simplistic bs at best. I am not even sure what people are on about. I would be happy if we finally fought for more equality and better distrubution of wealth but that seems "too simple" to most or something.

This is what a lot of power does to humans, it corrupts, makes one view those with less power as less of a human being. There shouldnt be any absurdly powerful people.

An alternative is that corrupt people seek power.

Can you believe no other single person has been arrested?

Can you believe Ghislaine was only convicted of supplying girls to a dead man so that no-one else need be prosecuted.

Virginia Giuffre, Prince Andrew’s accuser, disagrees.
