  If they sit down at the table with them, or allowed them to sit there, they are one.

  Does it even matter if they’re pedophiles?

  Being an oligarchs is magnitudes larger of a crime.

    Yes, it does.

    For starters, it matters because their crimes have victims. So saying those crimes don’t matter means those victims don’t matter.

    Additionally, it’s incredibly helpful for public framing and understanding, especially for the people who aren’t inclined to hold their immense wealth against them.

      Are there really people who would turn on them if they’re pedophiles but not if they’re fucking all of us? Seems the later would be easier to convince people of.

      The kid raping seems like a symptom of their power, not an independent disease. Cure them of that, and they won’t be able to get away with hurting people.

        I really dislike framing child molestation as a symptom of power, as if anyone with such power would practice child molestation.

        Yes there really are. Some days it makes sense to me, some days it doesn’t, but the Epstein thing is the only thing that cuts through Fox News.

  If we just kill them all to be safe that would be best. The overall impact on the world population would be insignificant

  Anyone who had wealth, or had access to wealth equal to $50 million or more since the 1980s should be thoroughly investigated, period, and if connections are found, any and all wealth confiscated, and used for foundations and programmes supporting victims of child/sex trafficking, exploited women, women's health research, and so on.
