I should be asleep, but I keep having the thought how most certainly epstein's involvment with /pol/ (oh and maxwell as reddit power mod during the r/jailbait era) rather directly cultivated this weird, neutered, vacuous and vapid alternative culture and reality to pair. Its like that dumb 'the atomic bomb lead to hentai' but just too real, and even dumber. Like Q-anon came from there, which I wholeheartedly believe existed to push plausible deniablility be being first to accuse. Makes me want to start eating tinfoil or something and I hate it.
