A federal judge in New York has ordered a vast unsealing of court documents in early 2024 that will make public the names of scores of Jeffrey Epstein's associates.
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.
I also responded to your “points”
The downvotes are just “rich people bad” shit, same as ever.
Rich people are bad

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
