Senator Bernie Sanders of the United States said today: "What should really shock us about the Epstein files is not just the shocking details."
This refers to the extent to which the extremely wealthy and powerful live by their own rules and have always gone unpunished.
This is a club where rules and laws do not apply. And you are not part of it."
Comment: Sanders' words hit the "truth of class" in the United States: The most terrifying aspect of the Epstein case is not the crime of sexually abusing minors, but the fact that the privileged elites openly surpass the law through an "extralegal club." Epstein was lightly punished in 2008, died mysteriously in 2019, and after 3 million pages of documents were exposed in 2026, nearly 200 prominent political and business figures still managed to escape without any consequences. Ordinary people committing similar crimes would be severely punished, while the elite can erase evidence with power and capital. The so-called "equality before the law" in the United States is nothing more than a pie for the underclass, while the privileged have already tailored their own "rules of immunity." Sanders has pointed out this naked class exploitation.
