Those people are so deeply involved with Epstein, it's impossible to sum it up in a HN comment.

Innocent until proven guilty if we have a functioning executive branch for the proving part. Epstein showed the world that we don't, which is my original point. You may not be convinced (although if you don't know who Wexner is, you're not very informed about the case). Most people do though, and they think our justice system is a fraud.

Participating in the child sex trafficking ring, although Wexner's involvement goes far deeper.

> The Trump administration explicitly aims to destroy that rule of law.

It's not just Trump. Trump and Biden both shredded the rule of law for Israel. I think both parties being captured by a genocidal foreign government has caused mass dissolution with the ability of the US to act within any framework that brings justice.

I wonder how much the complete impunity of those involved with Jeffery Epstein has destroyed the faith in the executive branch? People like Leon Black, Les Wexner and a couple of presidents not only escaped justice, but pretty much any scrutiny by any institution, media included. I think it's hard for people to look at that and not think they need to take the law into their own hands.

Sadly you can't, and this is a huge flaw in the venture capital model. They invest in people that they think other vcs will invest in. More often than not who your parents are matters more than anything (unless you've had a huge exit like the OP). They'll also throw money at you if you come from a rich family, not because they think you'll succeed, but because they want your family's money as LPs in their funds.

The entire history of the US is founded on white supremacy. From the genocide of Indigenous people, to slavery, to Hiroshima, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine...

Only Titanic and Avatar earned more money (inflation adjusted) than this film:

This has already happened with media for the past 100+ years. We're shown what companies and governments want us to see. People develop parasocial relationships with people they see on tv...

Israel murdered almost 200 innocent people today. They are bombing civilians.

Israel is a modern day Nazi Germany. I wouldn't call anyone there over the age of 18 "innocent".

It was mentioned in this thread and quickly flagged, but Israel broke the ceasefire today by attacking civilians in Lebanon so Iran closed the straight. It was open prior to the ceasefire violation.

France's Macron actually just commented on this: https://x.com/EmmanuelMacron/status/2041990505760772551

Israel has murdered tens of thousands of women in the past few years alone.

There was never going to be a regime change. Continuing the war meant many Americans were going to die (in addition to bankrupting the US). I'm a US citizen and very glad Iran came out on top here.

Joe Biden also committed genocide for Israel.

We are captured by Israel and working against our own interests because they are blackmailing and bribing our leaders.

There are a lot of Zionists that patrol this site and this is exactly what they want and support.

Again, the US has the largest nuclear program by a long shot. Russia isn't even in the top 5. Please go back and reread the source I posted.

No, I don't care about Russia one way or the other. I do think my money was stolen to fund the Ukraine though. I'm not an extremist, I'm no Zionist.

The "suicide bombers" are people who had their families murdered by Zionists. A fully expected and understandable response to such a thing.

That one is so good.

Yes, Shia Islam does not "embrace martyrdom" in that they do not want to live. I think they handle us murdering them en mass with the utmost grace, maybe that's where you are confused?

I said the US had the largest nuclear program and I was right. I even provided a source.

You are also breaking site guidelines, badly.

I said nuclear program and I was correct by a very wide margin:

> The United States again spent more than all of the other nuclear armed states combined: $56.8 billion. China was the second largest spender at $12.5 billion, less than a quarter of U.S. spending. The third largest amount, $10.4 billion, or 10% of the total figure, was spent by the UK.

The US/Israel lobs cluster munitions, YOLO fires missiles (and in facts targets schools and hospitals) and has long range nuclear missiles.

Is joining a military that has constantly been engaged in terror a "political view"? I'm not the one killing innocent people, it's just basic humanity to feel justice when murderers are stopped. I'm neither a Democrat nor Republican, this is not a partisan issue. I would vote for any politician that said they were closing down our bases all over the world and sanctioning Israel.

Yes, I think the Democrats would be fighting this war for Israel, just like they did in Gaza. If anything, it's almost good that Trump is leading this as it means the war does not have the support of the neoliberal citizens (politicians are another story). He's also even less competent, "saying the quiet parts out loud"... This is true accelerationism. Clearly it would be better to abandon Israel and not fight any of their wars for them, but flailing incompetently, sinking Israel and creating an Iranian super-power is the second best outcome.

Yes, the US and Israel are terrorists for attacking non-combatants. I don't think that was ever in question. They literally started this illegal war by killing an entire school of girls.

I don't oppose anything. The protocol can't be followed if the white house is making things up (which they've been doing since the beginning of this war -- remember we've already "won" multiple times?). It's great that you have a protocol for verifying identity, that's a great cryptography use-case. It doesn't help when the person talking is just lying though, hence there's no proof available, cryptographic or otherwise.

Why do you keep calling me ayatollah, again this is very much against site guidelines. Your account should be banned for attacking other users.

There's nothing to cryptographically verify, the white house is making all of this up.
