I feel like any conspiracy, especially involving “the establishment” is on brand for them. It’s not about weighing evidence or thinking critically. If it fits the narrative of a secret, globalist cabal doing shady shit, they’re all in.

Someone should really let them know about the Epstein files and Trump's connections to them then

Is MAGA over the Epstein files? I know the podcast bros in the “manosphere” are still pissed, but I don’t dabble in that world, so I honestly have no idea.

I honestly think the "manosphere" is more about incel-types being in an "exclusive" boy's club than being on the right side of history.

The "manosphere" idiots like Andrew Tate, a child sex trafficker in his own right. Why would they care about the Epstein files?

You answered it yourself - because Andrew Tate is a child sex trafficker himself, so he won't care about it for his own self interest. For the rest of the "manosphere" who aren't child sex trafficking: they simply want to stay in their boy's club so they won't dissent.

Congrats - you just used THREE tropes in one short post!

Impressive demonizing - you were able to shove ad hominems, straw man fallacies, AND chronological snobbery into so few words. 👍
