Other Epstein victims credited Giuffre with giving them the courage to speak out.

      Wait is this real? I thought I’d seen a similar post before but don’t remember it being from her?

        Yup, this was real at the time. Was posted abit before she went onto TrueAnon, where she was incredibly lucid and insightful on how a woman can find herself in a position like that, and what the glaring red flags are and cautioning young artists especially against getting too involved with their wealthy patrons.

      2019 is a long time ago, especially considering other events that universally damaged peoples mental health.

      I don’t think we should rule anything out considering another accuser died recently too, though. iirc? wait the crash was her? Weird method but I don’t have any idea how or where she drove.

    Wasn’t she just in a bad accident and only given a few days to live?

    Did she also hang herself 3 feet off the ground like Epstein did?

    The last minute transfer of funds away from Epstein’s account to his brother is fucked. If the state wanted to, it could have been transferred to Epstein’s victims.

    Also Prince Andrew walks free.

      If the US were actually cool we’d send a whole fucking fleet to extract Andrew, kill all the Buckingham palace guards, steal the crown from Charles’ head after kicking him in the shin, then extraditing Andrew back to the States to have him put on trial before locking him up in ADX Florence.

        None of that would be necessary, the US could just say “give us Andrew” and the UK would happily comply.

        Not gonna happen though, because well yeah we know why

          At the very least it would be educational, a test if the British ruling classes’ reflexive subservience to the hegemon is stronger than their reflexive subservience to the crown.

            I sincerely believe that you’d split the right with half of them going SOVEREIGNTY and the other half going YEAH KILL THE NONCES.

              This is so accurate.

              The fact that the right is like “Tommy Robinson did nuffin wrong” and has nothing to say about the Paedo Prince is bonkers.

    I hate that as soon as I click the link a video starts to play and the first frame is Epstein’s haggard face.

    This woman deserved better than to have the face of her abuser in every article about her. Fucking bleak.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
