Gosh, I’m sure Bezos had nothing to do with this opinion. Being such a stellar Seattle citizen and all

but for real i tried to capture what i felt going through these emails (on here & in the document hellscape). how it feels like a last nail in a coffin of some kind in terms of a rot in the heart of the elite. and proof that the truth is dumber than fiction

The Epstein revelations of the past few months suggest that these conspiracies actually do represent reality in some way—plainly speaking, some of the most powerful people in the world were communicating with one another through the kingpin of an alleged child-sex-trafficking operation. But the emails also prove that the truth is dumber than fiction. These global elites are far from organized and hyper-competent—it feels like how Veep would have treated QAnon. The elites don’t message with sex pests using code words; they openly muse about having fun with girls at “Hawaiian Tropic” parties. That reading these emails feels surreal makes sense—they shatter the myth of genius and merit that the ruling class tries carefully and spends exorbitantly to cultivate, and they affirm the worst suspicions of the conspiracy-minded. As more revelations are made public, it may feel like the conspiracy theorists have won. But they’ve been wrong as well. Cabal is too flattering a word for this crowd of cosplaying, hunt-and-peck email addicts. Conspiracy theories are a flawed tool meant to help make sense of a nonsensical world. The truth is darker: You don’t need an elaborate master plan to dodge accountability when everyone’s all too willing to simply look the other way.
