In any case, saying we can't call billionaires "the Epstein class" is a little too close to saying "we shouldn't mention Epstein because he is Jewish." There is no good answers to this problem, but I definitely think this is a wrong one.

Oh I see "calling billionaires 'the Epstein class" is antisemitic" is the hill this particular Dartmouth professor is ready to die on.

Also Epstein has become such a meme and a larger-than-life figure in our discourse I don't think antisemitism is the best lens to view it? Of course many awful people will view it that way.

I get the concerns about antisemitism, but the Epstein Files revealed a shocking degree of lawlessness, degeneracy, and intellectual decrepitude among our ruling class. Calling them "the Epstein class" is an attempt to register that shock.

Because Americans revere billionaires (every American thinks they will be one someday) but—supposedly—hate pedophiles. Linking the two makes sense.

It’s just a rumor. Probably untrue.

If it turns out Netanyahu is dead, it's like when you asked Santa for an SNES and instead got a Sega Genesis. Not exactly what you wanted, but you'll take it.

Remember when good journalists worked at Buzzfeed and we had to call Ben Smith "Buzzfeed Ben"?
