I don’t care about the Epstein affair overly much. Not because I don’t think it was all evil and wrong. It was. And not because I don’t think any women harmed deserve justice and recompense. They do.

But I think the focus on it is irrelevant for a few reasons. The first is that I just kind of assumed this is what a lot of the elites were up to, so it’s not any sort of surprise. The second is that it’s a deliberate distraction, for both sides. The 24/7 Epstein show shifts focus from substantive and consequential issues that the panjandrums would rather you not pay attention to. This is intentional. The third reason I don’t care much about the whole thing is that there’ll never be any real accountability for what happened. The evidence is just not there in a way that is prosecutable, and likely never will be.

It’s a crime, but it’s normal crime for those types. It matters little to the fate of our nation and the world, which is where we should be placing our attentions now.
