Just because people did it, didn't make it acceptable then nor now. Just because a person murders another person and it happened, doesn't make it acceptable. There is a bend to history written by the powerful that history absolves because "what was acceptable was different at the time." This line of thinking is flawed, ethics existed then too. Things like slavery and racism were just as wrong during times of codified 'legal' chattel slavery as it is today. It silences those enslaved and the many many people who decried its existence.

Same applies here.

Literally what we are fighting against with the Epstein files is precisely this.
