Our leaders are so disconnected from the average person only them being forced to confront their own mortality can snap them out of it.

Maxwell's father worked for various intelligence agencies. This appears to be a blackmail operation by the Mossad and/or the CIA. The former Israeli Prime Minister visited Epstein's home several times.

we known it since 2019, when he epsteined himself. and it went back decades, the MSM did thier best to not report it for the last 4 years. because too many politicians, both US and the world leaders, plus many donors. just like with the panama papers.

The thing is:

The little things do matter. They shape who you are. They shape the lives of the people around you. They're important.

But this is like a death-penalty-on-the-table-murder-trial being interrupted by a nuclear bomb. And that shit always happens.

Yes this other shit happens more, yes it's a priority, and yes none of your everyday decency will influence it in the slightest, but it still matters.

You just also have to fix that other shit.

It's not'nothing matters' its 'fuck, more work'.

Don't expect the world to reward your good behavior. You will find your own internal motivation, or maybe not. But judging others never ends well. Just focus on your own actions. Nobody says being a good human being is easy...

While people in power are absolute evil most of the time, this is not an excuse to change your own morals for the worse.

Small acts of kindness, when taken in decent quantity, change the world no less than massive fraud and sex trafficking.

That said, one of the most moral things to do is to be on the lookout for powerful people doing nasty things and do everything in your capacity to prevent or at least retaliate. This makes abuse less common, and goes a long way to restore democracy and responsibility for everyone.

It’s like that with most big ticket items, we run about worrying about recycling while the big polluters continue as usual. Not to say we shouldn’t recycle or not take action if we can but finding ways to make the billionaires pull their heads in would be better.

Don't forget, while the Qanon BS is flourishing, a former Speaker of the House (3rd in line to the presidecy) gets imprisoned for molesting at least four teenage boys.

Just finding out? Hasn't all of this been known for almost a decade now?

You're just finding out maybe.

It's a tough go for the people who believe in pacifism or nonviolent change.

I mean, you should tip the barista, though.

You may be noticing now. But people have been doing terrible things without consequences forever.

I've learned paedophiles seem to be naturally skilled with grabbing power throughout history and the present is no differnt. I'm more aware of that fact now.

I've also learmed a large percentage of humans actually are fine with their leaders raping children. One might think they're fine with it in general.

Morality and laws are for the plebs. If you’re rich or powerful enough, you get to do whatever you want, so long as you don’t harm another rich or powerful person.

Don't worry, as the economy becomes more stressed and people become more desperate, morality will fly out the window and become completely secondary to survival. Even those who succumb to that desperation will be ahead of the game on the morality spectrum though. There is a huge difference between stealing to feed your family and steeling purely out of greed.

Also, tipping culture is a cancer that needs to die. So don't feel guilty about not tipping.

Keep being a decent human bean still is the way to go, though. Otherwise it's a race to the bottom, Marquis de Sade-style. Fuck these psychopaths, you're better than them!

My morality works fine. A bunch of lead drinking, lead breathing, racist rednecks need to get fixed.
