    Yeah, no need to answer anything I point out just put your hands over your ears and tell me I’m QANON and full of shit that’ll really make your point and help your position here.

    Come to think of it maybe there’s a reason you’re getting all the down votes…

      I also responded to your “points”

      The downvotes are just “rich people bad” shit, same as ever.

          And yet your take here has nothing to do with the reality of Epstein’s crimes nor his suicide. It has nothing to do with the actual suicides passed off as conspiracies.

        Hopping into this conversation to say: that person is right; I’m not downvoting you because “rich people bad”. I’m downvoting you because you aren’t engaging in this discussion to share ideas and understand the other person. Your approach in this discussion is very much one of shutting down thinking that opposes yours. That doesn’t get a dialog going; it ends it. You can do with that as you like, but I thought I’d speak up for myself so you don’t mischaracterize my downvote.

          Conspiracy theory thought is mental poison and should be shut down. Not all thinking is equal.

          I wouldn’t engage a “flat earther” in a meaningful dialogue, and I would caution you against it as well. It’s chess with a pigeon, at best

          Also, here’s the comment I received directly before yours, lest you think I was just making that part up

      “Conspiracy theories” have ironically enough become weaponized as a thought terminating cliche. Am I supposed to not wonder what about his guards and what they were doing, or the camera feeds, or the people getting paid six figures to handle his case, or the dozens of other loose ends?

      There are enormous efforts being taken to gaslight people out of their curiosity about this case.
