    Also Epstein was Jewish.

    Whiteness and being Jewish have a complicated relationship but for the last few decades at least, someone can be both.

      I mean Epstein was Jewish, boasted about being a Mossad agent in private, Ghislaine Maxwell is Jewish and the daughter of an Israeli spy. Top ranking Israeli officials like Ehud Barak are in the files, people like Noam Chomsky are in the files. Yeah there’s a lot of WASPs in there too, according to Epstein the only goyims he respected, but OP is being disingenuous by omitting all this.

      Yeah MAGAts are retarded and imo religion is anyway not the important point to focus on but anyone can read the files so why accuse others of rewriting history and then doing it yourself?

      Post in OP says “conspiracy of…Christian men” which certainly does NOT describe Epstein, the person at the epicentre of all this

        It also says “rich white right-wing men”, which does, and it’s also true that most of the people involved in the cover-up purport to be Christians.

        They weren’t considered white in early 20th century Europe either… There was a whole thing about it…

          German Jews weren’t white? Of course they were, and I don’t really care for “what the nazis (or other racist group) considered them as”.

            Being white is a fully made up concept and not some biological reality so “what the Nazis considered them as” is literally just as valid as whatever idea you have about what white is. All it really comes down to how is society treats the given group.

              That was the most stupid thing I have heard in a long time.

              It’s probably some racist conspiracy crap if you dig into it so you’re blocked lol

        “whiteness” as a whole tends to a category that gets smaller the more powerful racists become in government. jews are white up until american christofacists no longer need their support at which point they’re no longer white
