Not only do the elites get away with doing anything they want, they get away with filming themselves committing crimes and bragging about it openly. The same elites that jail you for buying cunny because it's "immoral" not only don't go to jail for doing the same thing with kids but can get elected to the presidency after getting caught. How is the average person ok with this level of hypocrisy in society? Why aren't they rioting?

It's cause you're poor.

That's not even a joke. Those scumbags are the single richest people in the world so they can just buy their way outta any legal trouble

    literally. the trump trial just before the elections was the essence of this. the judge said he is guilty and wished him godspeed.

    (and he probably didn't even get any money, he was just scared to be epsteined after the elections.)

    Yup. There are currently ~180 billionaires in the Virgin Islands for a NYE mega-yacht party. Those ~180 people collectively represent ~80% of the entire nation’s wealth.

    The problem is you have failed at least one, probably both, of the foundational rules of any capitalist society.

    First rule of capitalism: Be rich. Second rule of capitalism: Don't be poor.

    Wilhoit's law:

    "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

    In looking up the exact text, apparently it is often attributed to the wrong Wilhoit, lol.

    That’s how the world works and always has to varying degrees. It’s just more obvious at the moment than it usually is.

    Btw, “they get to rape kids and I just wanna go to the whorehouse” isn’t the BEST argument, but I guess you’re sorta aiming in the right direction.

    The word "privelege" literally translates as "private law," and it means the moneyed class has a different set of laws than you and I. And it's always been that way.

    Maybe he was littering by throwing away Top Secret Confidential documents on the floor of the Russian Embassy.

    Or maybe he was littering by throwing away a strangely shaped metal spheroid on a public street through a stranger's chest cavity.

    Teflon Don, like Epstein, collected pictures of powerful people doing "embarrassing" things. Unlike Epstein he didn't use a private island, he used hotels that catered to people with power.

    You know why. The powers that be places a lot of value on him, and nothing on you. If you are just a debt slave, you are insignificant to the matrix.

    Even if you would be rich, you wont get into the club of leading the world unless you sold your soul as well.

    Evil runs the world but thats the game here - will you let yourself become evil also, or will you be a hero and stay good despite the system?

    All you have to do is have your lawyer call you a "pillar of the community".

    Edit: Oh and be a rich, white, cis man willing to call yourself straight and christian. That part is important.

    He's rich and has used his money to gain power.

    Most impressively the office of the president.

    Why aren’t they rioting?

    Why don't you lead the way?

    I don't disagree with what you're saying, but when you ask why people aren't revolting, you should realize that you're sitting at home behind your computer doing the exact same thing right now: a big fat nothing.

    God damn I hate this bullshit argument.

    People are looking for leadership in a time of crisis. Saying “well why don’t YOU do it instead of complaining” is just mind numbingly oblivious to how societal change actually works.

    You build the movement, then you act. If you act too soon you’re just another revolutionary lined up against the wall and shot. Leadership is required to succeed and very few are capable of that level of leadership.

    Edit: It basically comes across as an argument for the status quo which is disgusting to any rational, empathetic human being.

    You're probably right, as that is the tendency of most people, to not have to go outside a comfort zone. It's also assuming that's true, and for all you know people who are stating this very thing might also be trying to do local action and failing because they're alone. So rather than put someone down for asking a valid question, we could explore why people aren't doing much of anything overall, and what can be done to change that outside of things getting far worse (which they will, as they have before).

    all those protests had been ineffective(mostly because its too organized and predictable, with just virtue signalling), OCCUPy wallstreet showed as that. riots wouldve definitely caused some sort of change, eventhough trump has threatened to escalate(he was going to do it anyways), as soon as the wealthy knew you wernt going to riot, they ramped up thier propaganda nad culture wars to prevent further potential violence. in times of political crisis, the first to flees are almost always intellectuals.

    It's pretty easy: is there conclusive evidence? Corollary: can you successfully eliminate conclusive evidence?

    It’s about power. Power means you can make other people do things. You can also get away with behaviors, others don’t. Money is power. Those with a lot of money have a lot of power.

    Money enables you to buy off your victims directly or hire experts to take care of problems or tasks for you. That way you always stay one step removed.

    They're the puppets in positions of "power" because they're mutually compromised so. The psychopathic circlejerk. Easily played narcissists.

    He's their boy.

    ... And ... they have quotas for filling the prisons there, for legal slavery. Highest prison population of any country in the world. .. "land of the free".

    How is the average person ok with this level of hypocrisy in society? Why aren’t they rioting?

    Many all pervasive psyops.

    Glad I left that industry.
