So, humanity's epitaph may be:

"We died in a nuclear holocaust rather than arrest a paedophile ring"

😳

@Geri Clearly it's more complex than that.
Reasonably, each and every politician who could act against, is steerable. There's been built, year after year, an intricate network of relationships. Their caste fears retortion and a fall, if anyone still strongly supported (economy, finance, etc.) is hold accountable for crimes involving many subjects of the caste.
Before the politicians, is the methology that gained acceptance by fooled citizens.
Even jailing them today will need decades to fix.
@luc0x61 well of course, but this is the roustabout bite sized world of social media x
@Geri I had to delete words here and there, to fit the space accepted for a comment 😅 We're crumbs of time and space in any universe.
