A piece by investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr, connecting the paedophilic culture of the Epstein orbit to our own.
He also told me that a culture which reveres female youth and innocence despises female age and experience. It disgusts them, scares them. That’s our paedophiliac culture too; misogyny of adult women is the opposite of sexual desire for girls, an inverted mirror.
Epstein has given us an extraordinary portal through which we can now see how hostile state influence, criminality and the impunity of the billionaire class are intimately enmeshed. That’s the piece I still want to write. But we can’t understand any of this until we realise that Epstein isn’t just a doorway, he’s also a mirror.
His culture is our culture.
@fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net has kindly pointed out in the comments that one of the citations used by the author is to an article by a shady Christian anti-porn group. I have shared my thoughts on this in the comments too.
For the sake of anyone reading, and potentially changing the body of the post, please elaborate what websites/citations you are referring to.
I had a quick look at all the hyperlinks and they were fine, and I’d rather not read the entire article again to look for any “according to”, “says,” as cited", etc. Thank you :)
fightthenewdrug.org is a shady Christian front group
Fair point.
I think the article she cited from them is fine enough in their point of conveying the story of lil’ tay on onlyfans and onlyfans exploiting this ‘trend’, though. So I don’t see citing them here as such a big deal. But let it be known!
The remaining hyperlinks are to the Guardian, government websites and jmail.
I agree: the article linked to seems to make a reasonable argument
I feel it’s my responsibility to shut down religious extremist propaganda whenever I see it. I won’t let citing it go unnoticed because that legitimates their agenda
