The problem is your basing your logic on what reasonable and descent people would do.

The sad part is he was a lot more than that. Epstein was a major financer of various projects, including: charities, police departments, universities, medical research, major real estate projects, security, arms deals, tech startups, etc...

Epstein operated widely and openly in the most elite of financial circles. The question is how the F was he allowed to do so after his conviction in 2008 and it coming to light that he was habitually luring and soliciting girls as young as 14.

And they should all be audited. Just because you're a charity or a medical research facility doesn't mean you can't commit fraud.

Operation: Start a major world conflict to distract from Epstein, seems pretty successful so far.

Not everyone who mentions the Epstein files is QAnon, Cliff.

But if it makes you feel better, it appears that Fonz didn’t just find a casual antisemite but instead what appears to be an actual neo-Nazi, so that’s… something.

It's on Xitter, so these days there is a pretty good chance a post from there is from an actual neo-Nazi. It's their brand now.

Not entirely untrue, it’s hard to explore any vaguely political or social topic on there without scrolling past some pretty wild extreme far right stuff.

It’s pretty telling though when certain posters gravitate to those accounts.

I haven't claimed that they are.

But a post depicting people who want the Epstein files closed as a sinister cabal of jews who control the world is high-grade anti-semitism.

That isn't the first time I've seen posts on CP implying that Jews secretly run the world pass unremarked by posters who normally don't hesitate to fling around accusations of fascist and nazi. It's curious. But then anti-semitism has always found fertile ground on both the far left and far right.

I mean, all of two people posted after that meme. Maybe you should have given it a bit more time before you declare that it passed unremarked?

I mean lets be blunt, the poster in question is repeatedly ignored because of their general posting style. Not like he's taken seriously.

Eh, twelve hours can be a long time on this board. I've seen topics grow by like forty posts between lunch and dinner.

I'm confident if I posted something as blatantly racist targetting Indigenous or Black identifies in the Canadian politics thread it would get ####loads of reaction within hours, if not minutes.

Epstein's activities would never have gotten such traction with QAnon if his name was James Edwards. Conspiratorial beliefs correlate strongly with anti-Semitism. People diving into the world of Epstein conspiracies should bear that in mind. If you find yourself engaging with someone who says you can't trust the coverage in the Economist because it's owned by the Rothschilds, back away slowly.

I don't know, I kinda think the sex trafficking and rape of minors would be driving conspiracies even if a WASP did it. Cause, you know, its trafficking and raping children, and yeah thats really horrible.

We don't have to guess, Pizzagate proved that.

I’m just not sure why you’re trying to make this about QAnon, or now the far left, or turning around at pointing fingers at “the board” that regularly calls out, mocks, or ignores this same poster for this same history of posts.

And yes, it is anti-semitic, and as I just pointed out to you, it’s a step further in that the poster is sharing the opinions of a neo-Nazi. That whole account is littered with white victimhood, blaming Jews, Black people, etc. Dig a little deeper Cliff, it’s worse than you think.

If anything it’s dumb to ignore so much but pick this one thing to jump on and immediately suggest it didn’t get a reaction because everyone is anti-semitic. I can’t speak for anyone else, but my ad blocker blocks twitter previews as well, so I physically did not see that post and did not think it’d be worth looking at considering the poster. I only did because you quoted it, then looked up what “goyim” meant, and then cruised through the account to find it wasn’t just anti-semitism but full blown Nazi stuff. So if things are so curious why don’t you just ask the question instead of whining about how you would get attacked for it so it must be far left anti-semitism to on the board to blame for nobody attacking Fonz.

I don’t know if you pay much attention to that poster but they post this kind of vile #### all the time, man.

Like it’s genuinely weird.

“Hey that’s antisemitic”
“Not just anti-semitic, it’s neo-Nazi ideology”
“Wow you must be antisemitic if you don’t think it’s antisemitic!”

He seems like an F-ing idiot. He kept detailed records to blackmail other people, with no consideration that the same communications would be used against him. He did this even after being convicted of soliciting underage girls and being put on the sex offender registry.

A true narcissist. Can't see the implications of his own actions or how these communications could be used against him.
