    I have a theory. Back in ancient Greece, having a literal boy-toys was normalized. But not by everyone… By the men who owned estates, with slaves and workers and land and a whole little clan

    You can draw a line from them to our ruling class, with plenty of additions, but one unbroken line

    I think the West has been controlled by pedos, an unbroken chain of pedos lasting millennia

      I think that a lot of sudden changes could’ve got in the way of that theory, e.g. russian revolution in that case, that caused yesterday prols and low end nobles to get behind the wheel at random.

      Instead, I think the elites gravitate towards excessive and taboo modes of consumption due to growing unmoved by regular stuff. In Epstein case it could’ve worked as a ritual of initiation to some sort of a secret society too - hence the most popular process of the century gets stopped at every turn. But this way or another it’s nothing like a tradition carried over centuries, but more like a sort of degeneracy each generation comes to by itself - may it be for dibs on the wicked island, or for their own monstrocity.
