“There was no integrity in that room today, it seems like, when it came to Epstein and Maxwell,” Teresa Helm said after Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing.
Six survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse and two members of another accuser’s family said they felt “degraded” during Wednesday’s contentious House Judiciary Committee hearing, at which Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to face them and apologize.
Several Epstein survivors and relatives were on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers grilled Bondi for over five hours about several matters, including the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein case. She was specifically questioned about why released files were heavily redacted and why several survivors’ names were not.
“There was such a lack of empathy today. There was such a lack of, honestly, humanity today,” Dani Bensky said on NBC’s “Hallie Jackson NOW.”
The only caveat is that people who want to be soldiers aren’t necessarily representative of the general population. Plenty of people join the military because they want to kill people.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that the number is around 20% of those who enlist.
I’m pretty sure the military is a general slice of the population.
Men make up ~80% of the military in the US. Already we are off to a bad start if you think the military is a ‘general slice’.
Using the military as your source comes with a whole lot of biases. Military enrolment is not mandatory in the US, so your numbers are already skewed by factors of wealth, ‘patriotism’, and gender.
You can assume that people who are not open to the possibility of killing a human being are filtered from their ranks by default. And then being exposed to the life of a soldier (especially in a war zone) can skew the way that a person interacts with their world.
Not to mention that “lacks empathy” isn’t exactly quantifiable in a meaningful way without further qualification.
You can’t possible be more wrong about anything you just said other than the rough makeup of the military. The number is 1 in 5 and its probably higher than that. You are surrounded by people who lack a basic human characteristic. To varying degree’s these people have a reduced morality linked to a absence of empathy. They are the politicians, the CEO’s, law enforcement and the clergy. They are trump and johnson. They are musk and zuckerberg. They are bondi and noem. That is just scum floating on top of the swamp. They are also people you work with. From my perspective they are possibly you.
One thing they do is take offense at anything indicating a problem with being that way and my numbers are sure to offend any of them. They seek power and don’t care what they have to do to get it. They never consider any harm they may do to others in getting what they want. They never admit guilt or truly apologize.
They are evil as described by Gustave Gilbert. As I said the US military is the only place to get a large sampling of people on this hidden epidemic. You wont find another as large. Prove me wrong about that and find it. Easy bet on my part. It doesn’t exist because the subjects of it avoid and decry any form of therapy.
Oh, you’re that kind of dumb. That “anyone who disagrees with my point is obviously just offended at my right-ness” kind.
Thank you for your time. I’m tapping out.
Thanks for tapping out. Its just like admitting you are wrong.
You are ignorant of the facts at the very least. The statistic men make of 80% military is irrelevant since men make up 85% of of people with NPD.
Quit gaslighting. Its pretty clear you are incapable of admitting you are wrong. A very narcissistic trait. Along with a very thin skin.
I hope you blocked me cause that is what I’m going to do now to you.
