I understand the reasons why it’s more jarring and consequential to see it happen among billionaires, but the kind of shrugging disinterest or impishly approving encouragement of sexual abuse among Epstein’s circle is the same dynamic that happens in less powerful milieus.

I keep seeing people using "luddite" with little understanding of its violent history, and I really want people to do more reading.
I did not know much about it myself until I read this post by @swordsjew.bsky.social but damn, do I sympathise with the Luddites now. Their cause is ours.

One of adulthood’s most painful things is realizing someone you think of as a friend doesn’t consider you a friend. There is no malice or acrimony or anything bad about it. It’s just a difference of some apt “German” word I don’t know.
