What are you on about? Trump never said Epstein's crimes were a hoax. Did you even read the article?

The hoax is what the hypocritical democrat party is trying to twist it into. They kept all this quiet, tried to sweep it under the rug for four years. Only now are they desperately trying to twist things and say Trump was somehow, magically implicated.

Trump was instrumental in taking down Epstein's whole nasty business.

The dems never cared about Epstein or his victims. Their huge, fake outrage lately, is totally a hoax. Hypocrite

Epstein was being used by the CIA & Mossad.

All that blackmail info from the island went directly to Israel, who it was gathered for in the first place.

They forced a sweetheart deal for Epstein in the first trial.

Then along came Trump, and burned Epstein & Maxwell's whole dirty operation to the ground. Wound up being their worst nightmare. Trump was a key witness in the prosecution that put those two behind bars.

WWIII WWIII Megathread #41: Memorandum of Misunderstanding

37 Upvotes

This megathread exists for in-depth discussion of 'WWIII', related events, and geopolitics and wars in general. Keep in mind that we have eliminated the rule that all non-major WWIII content must be posted here, and we encourage you to submit WWIII-related content to the main sub.

Again— all rules still apply. No racism, xenophobia, nationalism, etc. No promotion of hate or violence. Violators will be banned.

Remain civil, engage in good faith, report suspected bot accounts, and do not abuse the report system to flag the people you disagree with.

If you wish to contribute, please try to focus on where WWIII intersects with themes of this sub: Identity Politics, Capitalism, and Marxist perspectives.

Always put a NSFW warning on links that contain explicit content.

Non-WWIII chatter belongs in the town square.

Healthcare Faced with inadequate US healthcare, Black women fly to South Korea: ‘It could save your life’

Thumbnail
theguardian.com
39 Upvotes

This article is basically a thinly veiled ad for Himedi, a company promoting South Korea as a destination for comprehensive diagnostic screening.

It could have been a useful article about the cost and dysfunction of US healthcare, problems that affect most Americans. Instead, the Guardian turns it into an idpol story claiming that Black women are using this service specifically because of racism in the US medical system.

The evidence is just a few anecdotes. There are no meaningful numbers, no comparison with other medical tourists, and no real attempt to show that racism, rather than cost, convenience and better-organized care is driving the trend.

The racial framing becomes even more absurd when the supposed solution to racism is leaving one of the most multicultural countries in the world to receive care in one of the most ethnically homogeneous.

Rightoids | History What do anti-revolutionary conservatives actually believe?

25 Upvotes

So there's this subspecies of conservative, which I'm assuming many of you here are probably are aware of, who has this massive hard-on for pre-modern, Ancien Régime societies; this massive hard-on for colonialism and country houses and aristocrats and balls and cavalry guards. Usually also fairly unabashed white nationalists/supremacists. @/Will_Tanner_1 and @/wrathofgnon are two notable Twitter accounts I know of along these lines. And these people tend to mald about the French, Haitian, Russian and/or Chinese Revolutions a lot. To someone more in-the-know about this school of thought's philosophy: what exactly do these people think life was like (for peasants/slaves; for normal people; for the majority of the population, as opposed to born-into-money, born-into-land, born-into-titles nobility) in pre-revolutionary France/Haiti/Russia/China? 'Cause, I don't know which of the following they believe, and I also don't know which belief would be worse:

Do they believe, [A]; that peasants/slaves in pre-revolutionary France/Haiti/Russia/China lived like hobbits from the Lord of the Rings movies, or something? Lived peaceful, idyllic, bucolic, picturesque Disney/cottagecore lives of Thomas Kinkade cottages and spring festivals? Until "the Jews" and/or "the communists" just appeared out of nowhere and somehow brainwashed them into revolting 100% groundlessly whence they had heretofore been 100% content for The Evulz? That 100% of accounts of famines, squalid living conditions, systemic violence, etc. from the pre-revolutionary periods are fabrications?

Or do they believe, [B]; that the conditions of the underclasses in the pre-revolutionary periods were indeed wretched, but that this was acceptable or even desirable? That the peasants/slaves had a moral duty to simply accept their lot in perpetuity? That simply by virtue of existing, of happening to have been born into the underclasses, they owed it to civilization/God/whatever to live in squalid conditions and perform backbreaking labor forever in order to support societies that offered nothing in return to them, because some things in life are just more important and life just isn't fair sometimes like that?

Either way, the model of society that these people are selling is even more terrifying and repulsive to me than that being sold by the most unhinged radlibs, and it affords me measureless comfort to know that such people will never be anything more than a tiny, powerless clique of internet weirdos.
