    I think the most important thing for the whole “Epstein didn’t kill himself” stuff is that it became basic public knowledge that the feds or his “friends” offed him. But the general public was satisfied with solving the “mystery” and can’t be bothered to question why his connections were never punished. I think the memes and the “conspiracy theory” are a controlled release of information to satiate the public, nothing was ever done with this information, the information itself was treated as the “end” of the conspiracy.

      Understanding that he didn’t kill himself is almost useless in the context of complete obfuscation of the political struggle. Just like every news event, it allows individuals to draw any interpretation they want and continue doing what they were already doing. Take your pick: “Epstein didn’t kill himself, [the Clintons / Trump / Hollywood / Mossad / trans people / transhumanists / the Devil] did!”

      The only faction it doesn’t work for is liberal institutionalists.
