    I will never understand how one can have so much money and success just to throw it all away for something so stupid and vile.

      Stop thinking of money as an abstract thing, its simply power. And power has many forms, ability to influence and control others, control governance, do what you want as you want, have your opinion heard over others, control others, etc. People need to stop considering rich people as people with money, theyre people with unfretted power and those people are generally wicked.

      You don’t understand why successful people would sleep with groupies? Or that if you sleep with 400 groupies a year, for several years, and then become politically inconvenient, that someone is going to be able to organize convincing 1 or more in 6400 women to retroactively reverse their consent 20 years later?

      To me it all seems pretty easy to understand.

        Shitheads who spread this “women are liars” incel garbage are why so few rapes ever reach trial in the first place.

        You really need to get yourself removed from whatever manosphere poison you’ve found yourself in, because it’s turning you into a terrible person. There’s no reason to believe a completely unfounded, unsupported conspiracy theory over the sworn court testimony of six victims plus many others who spoke out in public, other than pure vile misogyny.

        Or maybe you want people to disbelieve women because you’ve got an unfortunate history of your own?

        I feel like assholes who want fame and fortune are the core issue. When they get it, they’re then able to be assholes to other people and get away with it.

      Money is power, and power corrupts. People come to think they are above law, and unfortunately, it is often the case.

      I’d like to think I’d fuck off to some remote cabin personally, never to be heard from again.
