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.

It’s starting to seem that way to me.

So the only thing that stands between younand child molestation is money and power?

What about: Those who would molest a child will do so if they have power. I believe that would also cover non-oligarchs.

To become really wealthy you have to be really low moral.

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.
