I say this who doesn’t have Obamna derangement syndrome: this post is painful boomer slop.

Opposition to Epstein’s crimes are far too interwoven into the fabric of the cult-right/q-anon cult’s identity and mythos for them to let this go. Its not that they care about children, its that even Trump doesn’t supersede the collective rage they’re attached too with their belief in a “secret evil cabal” and “deepstate”. Protecting children is just a convenient justification for what is mostly just bitter reactionary politics towards a changing world economy or culture. Always has been.

Even if with Epstein they’re at least overlapping with the truth (Epstein was a human trafficker and rapist and many who hung out with him were rapists as well), you shouldn’t mistake that reactionary rage for an earnest desire to fix things or protect the innocent. They just want a justification to hurt people. They want someone to burn at the stake.

That’s just a link to the wikipedia page philosophy of solipsism, what specific extreme form of it are you talking about? Is there a name for it?

Possible if not likely, but also being an anti-Harris leftist indicates the sort of person who doesn’t touch grass anyway.

Though, I had seen handmade anti-Harris sign in Chicago once shortly before the election. “A vote for Harris is a vote for genocide” is what it said. I suspect that if there are some of those people do touch grass at all, they are aware of how incredibly unpopular they’d be in most progressive spaces if they openly stated they advocated against and refused to vote for Harris and would keep very quiet. Thus cowards.

I simply avoid actively educating myself on current affairs now. It still seeps to me through internet and casual socializing osmosis. I let the news come to me.

I’m done being the guy in the office/cafe/bar who brings up politics unless I’m really desperate for a topic of conversation.

That said, people do seem to bring up politics to me now, which has been fairly disarming. I was always the initiator before November 5th. Normies are reacting now that shit is negatively effecting them. I’ve still not encountered any anti-Harris lefties IRL only online. Fucking cowards.
