the memeification of Epstein has worked to obscure the horror of his extensive crimes. This man raped and trafficked CHILDREN. He destroyed countless lives and escaped accountability for years due to his powerful network of friends, associates, and co conspirators
I feel like the "Jeffrey Epstein" that been built up over the years across our internet zeitgeist with jokes and memes has kinda numbed people to the fact this was a real man who was actively trafficking and raping children of all ages, for decades.
Growing up in the 90s & early 2000s they wanted us to read, drink milk, play outside, just say no to drugs, reduce, reuse, recycle. Ms. Frizzle was our secondary teacher and Captain Planet was considered a hero. That’s the world I grew up in, so seeing where we are now is wild.
We were never meant to see dead children. It's supposed to be a freak accident that happens once in a community's life and scars it, and gets remembered forever as a shared tragedy. Israel made this an integral part of our daily life
