@afreytes my grandad (apparently) used to say "you think you die for the country, but you'll die for industrials" (as in Industrial Tycoons).

It is a bit of a litteral translation, and having had WWII happend to him, and WWI to his parent generation, I think he was onto something.

@afreytes haha, excellent repsonse!

I wonder if by virtue of giving them the moniker of "The Epstein Files" the fact that it is another abuse by oligarchs is somehow obscured.

Is the name itself is a diversion? i can't say. I just feel "Epstein Files" does a lot of covering up the horror of the abuse.

@afreytes a cw would also be super great for this post 💚

@afreytes We can start calling them "The Trump Files" but that's going to be hard for the trumpsters who are still culting, so maybe later

@afreytes the pedo-files was right there for the using

@howtophil Again, people focus on the Trump, and I feel like maybe he wasn't the most important person in there. He might be important now, but that's because other people propped him up, and he's too dumb to see himself as the figurehead that he is.

@afreytes @howtophil
Still think about the Bannon Interview and his WAY underrated comment that Trump is "just a tool". 🤔

[afreytes@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@grootinside @howtophil Exactly! Always has been, not just now.

Imagine if protecting pedophiles might not even be the worst they have used him for.

@afreytes @grootinside I assume he has been used to protect all the crimes at some point or another
