With the whole not releasing the Epstein files to protect the pedophiles going on, I can’t help but feel so much build up of disgust and anger towards how often people/families protect and side with abusers in general. I just can’t wrap my mind around how people can do that. I can’t process it. It’s so fucking horrible and unfathomable.

I personally grew up with really strict parents and would resent them for it but of course I understand now, especially as a parent myself. I do think they could’ve done things differently but I guess that’s on me to test with my own kid.

Statistics say:

Before the age of 18…

- 1 out of every 4 girls is sexually abused

- 1 out of every 6 boys is sexually abused

- 85% of child abuse victims never report their abuse.

- More than 90% of abusers are people children know, love and trust.

- 30-40% of victims are abused by a family member.

- 50% are abused by someone outside of the family whom they know and trust.

Unfortunately there are some relatives I have red flagged who are not allowed to ever be alone with my daughter and I just hate that so much about life. Why the fuck do people have to be so sick and disturbing that way to begin with? And why the fuck do people not ostracize them? Instead those who dare to call them out can end up being seen as the problematic one causing drama!! All because saving face is so much more important than addressing the actual horror?? That’s why the generational traumas never end…

We as humans in general are conditioned to avoid causing trouble in public. So most of time when it doesn't directly affect someone, they likely find no reason nor benefit to get involved.

The abusers should be called out. But what tends to happen is that the bystanders are people who don't understand the context of the conversation, so from their point of view, they will only see it as two people arguing and making a scene.

Why do people have to be so sick and disturbing to begin with? You have to ask their parents and grandparents that question.

Imagine every other era humans have ever existed. True, things are still messed up, but overall we live a much better life. Its the internet that makes it seem worse because media can keep everyone in a never ending state of fear, anger, and stress.

Imagine how bad it was in medieval times when people would simply disappear and no one would ever know why. Overall quality of life and safety, much worse. Or hell even the 1800s and early 1900s. You'd be lucky to even be a paragraph article in a paper or a letter. As bad as things are, still much better then the past.

True, but there are some instances where the past is better ... simpler than it is now. The age of internet made things both better and worse.

I think 50% of what people think is happening isn't even real, or is completely skewed then used as gasoline to for media/ political fire. We can easily dissect something like those files. You have Democrats, Republicans, and even other world powers on those files, if they truly even exist. Rather then rich politicians out each other it's much better just to use it as propaganda. Especially if other world powers are involved. Its the same as the economy. A spider web of debt and bullshit that is actually more profitable for the rich to let exist rather then out each other and simply kill each other off. Just for the major world powers that is. Everything else is just proxy, which world powers still profit from. So when it comes to those files, I can clearly see how the government teases them, and how upset the public gets over them which to me proves its all just complete bullshit, or at the very least skewed then used propaganda to keep people in a brainwashed state of mind.

I'll be honest in many ways I kind of hate it here. I still love the planet and nature, but sometimes feel like I'm the only one who truly see things how they actually are while everyone else is just oblivious, or acts a certain way for a specific political clout. Humans are stupid, but at the same time I truly believe its not their fault.

Disgusting and I’m sick of it. Wait til you hear about the Franklin Scandal. I’m not sure if the documentary has been removed, but it used to be somewhere on YouTube. I wish more ppl were aware of how deep this stuff goes, and that Epstein stuff is barely scratching the surface. But even when I try to tell ppl they don’t believe it and I just end up looking crazy, ppl dismiss it as conspiracy theories, or they make it political.

Unfortunately a lot of politics are involved in this stuff because a lot of politicians are involved, but it shouldn’t matter which party you identify as for you to be against it instead of making it some conspiracy theory. A lot of this stuff is not just conspiracy theories.

But Unfortunately Im powerless, and me hanging up on things I can’t really prove to myself or anyone else, just basing off my sense/intuition, had become very tiring for my mental health.

Really I started to develop a bit of paranoia because of it. Like being hyper aware of symbolism and “spells” in the media. It’s in a lot of movies, programs, etc so much so it’s hard to dismiss it as “coincidence”. But I learned it’s not healthy to be constantly worried about it.

I still stay vigilant though, and at this point I’m sick of politicians and don’t support either side, they’re all two sides to the same coin. I don’t trust the media and especially anything that comes out of Hollywood.

Seeing politicians and Hollywood celebrities now makes my stomach churn. I don’t like them and won’t support them.

I think the appearance of obliviousness or acting a certain way for a political clout is intentional, either because they believe they need something to have faith in or because they believe they are too powerless to make any meaningful change.

It's not really the person that they're protecting but their own comfort and reflection.
