Blood libel.
I'm not at all opposed to the idea that evil exists as an active force in the world. I don't at all think that it is an unsophisticated or unsupported point of view. That evil can possess and work through through individuals and groups.
I think droid that you are missing the point. It's not something I'm going to argue about, it's something I am explaining for those who can understand it.

Equally, unlike you, I do think that Epstein's trial had every chance of causing serious disruption to the power structure. I think the 'suicide' indicates as much. I think that it even had the potential to cause permanent damage. This was a real crisis point as I think singularities can be. Switch points on the rails of history.
A problem with the more poetic interpretation of events is I think it can often reify pre-existing prejudices and ideological blindspots, anti-semitism being the obvious one when this stuff is applied to politics. The "blood libel" seems very alive to me and animating some cases/projections of abuse.
