Mandelson was sacked because of the release of the birthday book by Epstein’s estate, not by the government. The government did a “release” before that, but it looks like just a couple per cent was anything new. When people call for info to be released, they’re probably most likely asking the government that’s supposedly working for the people, not the paedo king’s estate.

The assumption is perhaps that the estate has zero interest in releasing stuff damaging to themselves, while the government theoretically should be different.

Theoretically is the operative word here, at least for me. The government is staffed by the paedo king’s associates, and they are never releasing anything. So there’s never going to be anything released worth chewing and swallowing.

But it is entertaining to watch Trump not be in control of the narrative and squirm

Mentioning Tiananmen Square, an example of internal repression with a couple of hundreds to a couple of thousands estimated fatalities, in the same sentence as two cases of near complete genocides of other ethnicities is wild. Do you not see how distorted that is as a comparison? In that comparison, you’re either trying to minimize the genocides of the Nazis, the Americans and the Turks, or raise the level of a case of internal repression with limited casualties to be comparable to massive historical crimes against humanity. Neither makes you look great.

Addiction to porn is not a real thing. No reputable source classifies compulsive viewing of porn as an addiction as far as I know. These people just find it to be a convenient excuse for their compulsions.

It’s barely making a dent in the bigger picture.

This is the silliest argument of all, it’s just a recipe for feeling completely helpless and perhaps turning into a total nihilist. Almost nothing you do as an individual will make a dent in the bigger picture, you being one individual and the bigger picture being the bigger picture. Going after big industry? You think you as an individual have a chance of making a dent in the bigger picture if you “go after big industry”, whatever that means? No, no dent, bigger picture remains. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try though, because trying is all you as a single individual can do. If the only things worth doing are the things that “make a dent in the bigger picture”, then you as a single individual would be absolutely irrelevant. Nothing you do would be worth doing. That’s no way to live.
