The only reason anyone gives a shit about 1/6 is because it's a weapon, which has been used to great effect by the left because they knew how to use it: by constantly and unceasingly repeating a message over and over again, constantly, for a year straight to wear people down into just going along with them on it. The severity of 1/6, or whether or not it was the next 9/11 is ultimately whatever they want it to be. As Hitler once wrote:
"I understood the infamous spiritual terror which this movement exerts, particularly on the bourgeoisie, which is neither morally nor mentally equal to such attacks; at a given sign it unleashes a veritable barrage of lies and slanders against whatever adversary seems most dangerous, until the nerves of the attacked persons break down... This is a tactic based on precise calculation of all human weaknesses, and its result will lead to success with almost mathematical certainty..."
