This is imo the key takeaway. The parasite class were all happy to be friends with Epstein not because they're all pedophiles, though clearly many are, but because they fundamentally are radically clear eyed that pedophilia is not different than every other predatory thing they do. They are class conscious, they are aware that their wealth relies on predation and gives them free access to further predation, and they don't need to tell themselves nice stories about any of it.
