with how prevalent pedophilia is in the owning classes, would earth have been free of most of the people who drive on climate change?
I’m thinking warmongerer Donald J. Trump, would some CEO from Exxon oil be gone too? Would Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Bill Gates or Steve Jobs also be gone? Like how much of a better climate would we have gotten had Jeffrey Epsteins mansion literally blown up along with all the people who went to him to party?
There are certain crimes you will never be able to fully eradicate. You can only try to get them down to the bare flawed human minimum. For pretty much as long as there are laws and courts, killing in cold blood has been illegal. But to this day humans kill humans in cold blood. All we can do is make good laws, prosecute perpetrators, and increase awareness. If the latter is what you mean by grassroot change, then sure. If we stay within the hypothetical, I don’t think a mass accident (like an accidental gas leak) or mass murder (a gas leak made to look like an accident) of the whole bunch on Epstein island would bring about a cultural change. My personal fear is that this whole exposé of this particular case only served to make the rich fuckers even more careful when they do it, not do it less.
At the root of the Epstein case is money. Billionaires should not exist. The quality of legal representation should not depend on one’s bank account. If you want a grassroot cause, tackle that one.
