      Where are all the people saying “release the files”? Are they gonna shift the goal post now and call everything that happens a distraction from further releasing more files? When the US starts a major conflict with Iran tomorrow, are the comments gonna be memes about the Epstein files?

      When will they recognize Trump can rape a child live on tv and his base will defend it? What are they waiting for? Why are they not revolting yet?

    Why would the legal system built for the ultra wealthy, by the ultra wealthy come down on Trump?

    Frankly this is proof you cannot use their legal system to bring them down. If we want Justice then it’s going to need to be Mob Justice or some other form of Justice that exists outside of their legal system.

          How do you judge success or failure?

          How would you respond to the claim that at the very least it permanently rewired the concept of legitimate government based on ideas like nation, citizenship and rights, even if the outcomes of that rewiring were neither linear nor immediate? Creating institutional templates, accelerating modern politics and seeding democracies?

          Considering most monarchies are no more in Europe, it didn’t really fail miserably

            Do you have any grasp of history?

            It resulted in a dictatorship and then a return of the monarchy.

            It DID NOT magically remove all monarchies in Europe, that is a ridiculous ahistorical claim. It didn’t even ultimately remove the monarchy in fucking France.

    We really need to be asking why there were never investigations. How does protection from the FBI work exactly, and how do we stop it from protecting monsters currently?

      we need patriarchy fuelled capitalism to end so bad. this is a world of violence and cruel power games, with its main victims being the poor and homeless, children, women and all workers. we need to dismantle this shit.

      I hope to see more awareness of this in the close future.

            Im not implying anything. There is no such thing as patriarchal capitalism there is just capitalism.

            You are complicating the issue by adding sexism to the mix.

            Capital doesnt care if its male or female. Capitalists only care about their bottom line.

            I get that you see mostly men in power but the truth is it would be the same if women owned the means of production.

            So there is no such thing as ethical capitalism there is just capitalism and its destroying our world and society.

              how is bringing up patriarchy - the system which enables capitalism and vice versa - added sexism?

              we’ve all agreed for a long time that “capitalism is bad”. did anything change? the only way to change things is to look very closely and with awareness at what and who keeps these power dynamics up. if you think patriarchy has nothing to do with this, I highly recommend you educate yourself about it. I wonder why even on lemmy so many don’t get this connection.

                Its almost always white women who bring up patriarchy because they get to excuse themselves from the system that they’ve support and benefited from

          But it’s not given that it’s true either.

          Although with a large enough mountain of allegations, you’ll be excused to expect that some of them are true. And one, obviously, is too many.

            I’m not being nihilistic. I just want the kill shot to stick.

            We need to make sure that Trump isn’t sending out fabrications to discredit the whole thing.
