The large-scale disclosure of materials known as the “Epstein Files” has revealed “disturbing and credible evidence” of what independent human rights experts describe as a possible global criminal enterprise involving systematic sexual abuse, trafficking and exploitation of women and girls.
Nuanced thinking doesn’t win popularity contests. At best, it only really exists in academia, and even then not that often.
Tired thoughtless ragebait talking points does. Nuanced thinking is the opposite of a ‘rallying cry’ that so many on the left, and the right, use to motivate their constituencies.
Yet those constituencies are consistently manipulated to act against their best interests by rallying cries and similar polarizing behavior, and pointing it out goes as well as it did here. Most days, I question if humans are intelligent enough to govern themselves. Evidence increasingly points to no.
