    If you combine this with the theory that Ghislaine was the /r/worldnews moderator /u/MaxwellHill, this would mean both of them were impactful in the right wing nerd internet culture that has become so mainstream.

      Not sure how to feel right now.

      On one hand, there’s a bit of relief that 4chan and the internet fascists aren’t an organic grassroots movement…

      …But also it’s another reminder we have been ruled by absolute monsters for ages.

        I think overall we should regard it as a good thing because it gives us more hope for the potential of a better society if we can establish a real democracy and suppress capital.

            I mean, we objectively live in a society where a small minority of the population has power over the rest, and we can argue about the complicity of the rest of the population, but I think the fact that capital needs to make such efforts to maintain itself gives more cause to hope than if it could get by without such expenditures.

      It's making me lose my mind a bit, feels like losing sanity points in Call of Cthulhu IRL.

      Epstein bought Steve Bannon a Hermes Apple Watch, and Bannon was instrumental in activating GamerGate as a fascist pipeline

      And now Musk owns Twitter too! Conspiracy theorists wouldn't be so daring.
