Good. Suffer, you utter shitgibbon. I want you to be as terrified as everyone else who you had to 'involve' yourself with was.
Bet you're sweating now, fuck face.
I have never heard the insult 'shitgibbon' before, but i love it
It's in the same vein as douchecanoe but rarer. Rarer than a cockwomble or fucknugget but not as rare as a wankpuffin.
Lol, there's so much emotion in this reply.
He does seem like and utter douche canoe tho.
There's no reason to slander shitgibbons like that
He is facing his second Christmas without his mother
He's a senior citizen, that is such a weak grab for pity.
Welp then he should have spent more time with mummy instead of raping children on an island
I cannot even pretend to have sympathy for this bastard
Why do the good ones die so young?
Don't forget we all thought she was going to live forever...
He's embarrassed, not tormented.
The girls and boys he probably raped were tormented.
Classic DARVO technique by the prince
Tormented like he’s being sex trafficked under-age? Afraid like if he doesn’t do what the men say that they’ll torture him and he’s powerless to stop them? That kind of tormented?
Tormented like having to ask King Chuckie to send out the Gestapo to arrest anyone who mentions the diddling again
I'm sure Barbara Streisand would love for it to go away.
Why are there so many pedos among the rich
They are in the position of power to act on their desires. It's probably the same % everywhere.
Nah, I think it has more to do with power.
Theyre in a position to get something so illegal and evil, the thrill is in the power of doing something that lesser people would be executed for.
I think this is a major part of it.
Which is why high levels of wealth and power actually lead to bad mental health of the rich and powerful.
They get detached from normal life and start looking for thrills in the wrong places. It's kind of a similar effect as what middle class people know as lifestyle adaptation or the hedonic treadmill.
Once the normal things that provide pleasure are easy to obtain, people start looking for pleasure in places that still provide mystery, adventure and a challenge.
These people desperately need therapy to learn how to be content with normal things, but instead they follow their flawed monkey brains into a trap.
Others provided many explanations, but in Epstein island's case I think it was a sick rite of a passage for those feeling they are the new elite. By doing something so wrong together, like mafia, they enter a circle where everyone is silent about others' crime as they all share the same dirt and would all be discovered after one of them starts to speak. They are expected not to talk about that, or other morbid deals they discussed there in private, and it keeps them alert. Some of visitors could be into that being dangerous pervs and power addicts, and Epstein shared trafficked children like wine with premium guests, but the more important aspect is that child abuse was a glue that cemented that sect, shut their mouths for life and led to a perfectly timed murder of an organizer in a guarded cell.
Mr. Gates, in turn, praised Mr. Epstein’s charm and intelligence. Emailing colleagues the next day, he said: “A very attractive Swedish woman and her daughter dropped by and I ended up staying there quite late.”

The NY Times article is paywalled, but BtB goes into more detail anyway. Gates was invited to and visited Epstein's island or at least one of this parties. Claimed they weren't really his thing, but left it at that. Gates was definitely in a position to have done more to expose Epstein if he wanted. Supposedly, Bill Gate's name being on the list was the catalyst Melinda Gates divorcing his ass.
Hoarding wealth in greater quantities than you could ever use in order to have power over others desperate to just survive is abusive to start with. They're probably exposed to other people with all variants of abusive tendencies and trained to believe they are better than and deserving of the suffering of others. Being raised in that environment will definitely encourage a much higher proportion of other abusive behaviors.
Serious answer, as someone who's been through years of therapy.
Pretty much everyone rich and powerful experienced intense trauma early in life. And one of the horrible ways our early childhood trauma plays itself out is by causi us to recreate it on younger generations. You don't just wake up one day as a child molester. That shit was visited upon you in some fashion when you were a child.
Our entire culture is based on generational trauma (strongly suggest you read the Myth of Normal by Gabor Mate).
People who seek power and fame are almost all incredibly damaged from a very young age. Not necessarily an excuse, but if you want to stop the cycle you have to be able to step back far enough to see it.
He is facing his second Christmas without his mother
He’s fucking 70 or something.
He should be tormented. In fact I propose he be placed in stocks in the town square so that people could pelt him with rotten produce and spit on him.
I say we give him to the Irish, wouldnt be the first time they killed a pedophilic English prince.
If this is torment, how would you describe what those children went through?
Hey Prince Andrew, if the truth hurts then maybe it's you that's in the wrong?
I mean everyone already knows his name is on the list so idk what he has to worry about lol.
He either can't read the room or it's worse then we already knew about. Probably both.
Because he knows his name will be on the frontpages again.
Wow, I'm not tormented at all. I guess if you don't diddle kids you have nothing to worry about...
Poor widdle nepobaby
Oh won’t somebody please think of the poor prince.
Reap what you sow, cunt.
He has money. Unless that list shows he stole money from another richie he'll be just fine. Too bad
Can we start calling him "The Royal formally known as Prince"?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Prince Andrew is said to be “totally tormented” at the prospect of his relationship with the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein coming under further scrutiny after a judge ordered the release of secret case files.
US Judge Loretta Preska ruled on Monday 18 December that documents relating to more than 170 people who were either associates, friends or victims of disgraced financier Epstein should be made public.
They include 40 documents of evidence from Johanna Sjoberg, who has claimed the Duke of York touched her breast while sitting on a couch inside the US billionaire’s Manhattan apartment in 2001.
Andrew stepped down from public life after the furore over his friendship with Epstein and paid millions to settle a civil sexual assault case to Ms Giuffre, a woman he claimed never to have met.
In the infamous 2019 interview, Andrew denied Ms Giuffre’s claims and said an alleged encounter with her in 2001 could not have happened as he spent the day with his daughter, Princess Beatrice, taking her to Pizza Express in Woking for a party.
In January 2022, ahead of his legal settlement, his mother the Queen stripped Andrew of all of his honorary military roles, including Colonel of the Grenadier Guards.
The original article contains 719 words, the summary contains 202 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
i hope he offs himself. it would be the only justice these women will ever receive.
Good.
Is he sweating?
And in a hole with this guy. Also everyone else involved in this pure evil and disgusting shit.
This website is abysmal; nearly unusable, jumping all over the place. Not quite as bad as the topic, but… giving it a run for its money.
Torment away.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
