Quote:The most revealing lesson of the Epstein files is not about one man’s crimes. It is about how long powerful institutions were willing to look away—and how much pressure it took to make them stop.

The more than 3 million newly released files about the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein tell a grim story about abuse of power. They are also a case study in institutional failure—and a testament to the women who refused to let the truth stay buried.

Beyond that they also deliver a clear leadership lesson—one women have learned repeatedly, and often painfully: We cannot assume institutions will protect us. We have to protect one another. And we have to force accountability when the system will not.

Sadly yes. The whole system is rotten though. That's why there is no accountability. It was built to encourage and justify the abuse of women. The more I learn, the more depressed I get, and the more I understand the leftists who stopped giving a shit and encourage the system to burn. I'm not like, trying to light the match or throw fuel onto the fire, but I feel so dead inside at this point that I don't care if people do.

It's scary to think about what happens if we let it all fall apart and burn, and equally scary to think about letting the system continue as is. Epsteinism - not just his rape crimes, but everything gross about who he was and how he lived his life - is so rampant in the world's power structure that it's hopeless to think the problem will just solve itself.
