@georgia @vic Pedophilia remains just as taboo though, "elites" are about as detached from western sentiment and identity as a concubine in the chinese emperor's harem was from the rice farmers, and Epstein was a mossad asset working on reinforcing that detachment and gaining leverage on politicians and media figures.
Without the threat of violence by the state, the average westerner would treat pedophiles in the same way the average muslim treats atheists: beating and lynching. The only real difference is that in most muslim countries the state endorses civilians lynching atheists, while in most western countries the state jails civilians lynching pedophiles.
