Superb, as ever, from Nesrine. The Epstein Class is an institution at the core of patriarchal capitalist power, not a marginal accretion of rogue males.

A brilliant exposition by Nesrine Malik of the Epstein Class as not merely a composition of rogue individuals, but an institution synonymous with capitalist patriarchy & the venal 'decoupling of principle from politics.'

'Contempt is not a byproduct of that power, it is the point of it.'

In the coming community, the Epstein Class will languish in prison, & it shall be commonplace to have gardeners, nurses, teachers, cleaners, roofers - & plumbers - take on the role of citizen representatives & policy makers.

Long live Hannah the plumber!

A good speech, but it's odd that he targets Soros, who's done much to sustain the resistance to Trumpian tyranny, especially across universities, via the Open Society Foundations.

"Epstein class" is terrific not simply because several of them are directly tied to Epstein's crimes, but because it strikes at the corruption, immorality and impunity of that entire circle.

How Epstein Channelled Race Science and 'Climate Culling' Into Silicon Valley’s AI Elite The Epstein files expose how racial hierarchy, genetic “optimisation” and even climate-driven population culling circulated inside Big Tech circles

Epstein was evidently a nodal point for depraved fascist extractors.

Happily, the monopolistic products pedalled by the likes of Thiel, Gates, Musk & Bezos have been adjudged by our wise patriarchal rulers to be perfectly safe for use across UK education and the NHS.

“[Substack] believe[s] that supporting individual rights & civil liberties while subjecting ideas to open discourse is the best way to strip bad ideas of their power. We are committed to upholding & protecting freedom of expression, even when it hurts.”

Who can feel anything but disgust at these reports? The loan regime is an abomination.

But the Guardian typically ignores the emerging HE alternatives - for they exist - perhaps because it has a stake in the perpetuation of a morbid capitalist system that yields only misery and impotence.

Sex and snacks, but no seat at the table: the role of women in Epstein’s sordid men’s club Files reveal a world of flattery and fratboy tones, where rich men are cultivated and women provide services

A brilliant extrapolation by @ameliagentleman.bsky.social of the psychopathic misogyny & entitlement underscoring the practice of the patriarchal elite.

This should be a pivotal moment for the flushing away of these squalid bastards & their sacrificial power systems.

Will it happen? Can it?

'an abomination.' There can be no revolution without grammatical and syntactical rectitude.

Farage should be commissioned to oversee negotiations, for he works assiduously for the interests of Putin & Trump.
