Yikes. Let’s hope they were just stories.
- zozbot234 6y agoYou could say the same thing about the modern stories of Epstein, Qanon, the supposed secret basement in that pizza place etc. Maybe it was just propaganda, or maybe Nero, Caligula and other Roman emperors were a bit sociopathic to say the least and were drawn to more than just abstract political power.
- mercer 6y agoAre you saying Epstein wasn't in the business of pedophilic exploitation involving a number of the global'elite', and that his island wasn't a resort for said activities? It doesn't seem right to conflate that with Qanon or Pizzagate. It's like comparing critics of a particular Covid-19 policy to flat-earthers.

Yes, but the point is that the two cases can be indistinguishable at a distance. We'll probably never know what stories about Roman emperors were at least somewhat factual, and what were just propaganda.
