It is crucial to understand that a tragic number of people dangerously believe that the word "freedom" means not the expansion of freedom for others, but the freedom for themselves to oppress others, to control others, and to force their beliefs on others.

Yeah, I see it. There’s a lot of ways that western stupidity and ignorance walks elites into a war but this is a “in your face moron pedophile.“ Just day to day, a grotesque pest who clearly slithers, party to party, his way into elite circles while barely literate and articulate in his deviance.
I don’t mean to be glib but this is probably a more damning indictment of American elite culture than the Iraq Invasion.
Every single time! Epstein will write:
"porsecters h4arrsed me w/ sbuopenas al bcuase tr4ificing myners .due porcess much???no"
and then there's, like, the former president of a university or white house counsel or something replying:
"You're totally right, and also I love you with all my heart."

This led to an anticlerical, anti-intellectual tradition in American Protestant Christianity as it spread south and westward, where gnostic-like knowledge of God was more important than biblical scholarship or theology.

To be honest I’m pretty sure the “sincere“ eugenicists - i.e., people who are in favor of immigration from China or wherever - are simply racists whose fixation is specifically ANTI-BLACK RACISM instead of strict white supremacy
there are a few sincere eugenicists like Richard Hannania and they are meaningfully different than just garden-variety racists (no, this is not me saying "they're great! I love them! no problems!"). in theory it's an elitist but not necessarily racist mindset. in practice it like 90% is.
