according to this guy it's anti-zionist to *checks notes* expel palestinians from their homes
i think it's also foolish to point at jeffrey epstein himself and claim that he was the problem. if epstein didn't do it, someone else would have—and, in fact, someone else definitely is currently, bc all the powerful rapists who he catered to are still walking free abusing their power.
why is it "epstein class" and not "catholic class"? the catholic church ran rape rings, trafficked children, threatened families, hid evidence and protected rapists. they still do. the catholic church is the wealthiest and most powerful institution on the planet. but the name isn't so convenient.
it's a lot easier to scapegoat the scapegoat class, 0.2% of the global population, than to point at powerful institutions with millions of members globally that have abused countless people for centuries
all that is to say i don't think there's a way to use "epstein class" without being antisemitic. it's the same thing as soros or rothschild. grab the worst jew imaginable and make them the face of the institution, even if that institution is majority christian, ie american business and politics.
this article happens to be about a very wealthy+powerful family but it does a great job illustrating the fact that the trafficking, abuse, and rape of women is utterly legal on a global scale. it's easier if you're rich, but that's true of every aspect of life www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
