Mitch always weighs his words, and made it a point to state "insurrection". If you went from Kentucky to Washington and were part of that raid, god fucking help you because Mitch has essentially told his Gov to charge you guys as terrorists.

Public disturbance? Not a fucking chance.

And he isn't kidding. Lawyers are about to come back in fashion for quite a few people after this. The message is going to be ringing very loud and clear to anyone else contemplating this stupidity in the future.

For one idiot, this incident Will Stick in her Craw...oh wait, wait...I mean a bullet.

After a day of watching all this unfold, I've got to say this has got to be the most limpwristed coup I've ever seen. I'm sure the people who descended on Washington could have very readily overwhelmed DC police with their own firepower if they had chosen. If these boomers had really wanted to, they could have made congress really take cover.

This group effectively seized the Capitol of our country without brandishing a single firearm and that has got to make the blood of these scum sucking politicians run cold - I don't care what political party they're affiliated with. Congressmen and women would be doing more than casually 'fleeing' from women chatting in hallways or having panic attacks over some strange dude dressing up like a buffalo.

These laughing protesters didn't stage a coup. There were no goals. It was just a bit of banter, or they'd have been taking hostages and such.

I know congress won't see it like that. I know the law won't. But for a good number of the people it was a bit of a joke, judging by the pictures, expressions, emotions displayed. Not grim determination or elation and symbolic gestures you'd expect from a coup.

Maybe it should have been a coup, but it wasn't.

I think the people tried to get some weird kind of 'peaceful protest' by getting in with nothing. If they actually showed up with firearms, National Guards would come and things won't get anywhere, just get more messier with blood.
The problem is not everyone thinks the same thing- it takes a lot to rally a huge group of people to follow a plan- plus so much shit stacked up over the years and the lockdowns, lead to everyone's thoughts being a blurry mess instead of focused for to rally.
It was the woman who went into a frenzy, tried to get past the barricade, and shot dead, that everything went south. After that point, everything was unleashed and people went to do their own things in the House.
But I think the next time if people got riled up again, they might be more focused and determined like the woman who was ready to fight with her life.

The media superpower? I have a lot of thoughts there but I would be afraid of listening to a media "superpower". Youtube is a media superpower, technically, and it has an algorithm to choose/suggest what you watch and you hear (arguably based on what youve watched before even if just for background noise), and it makes it hard to branch out to new shit. This is again some money shit, consoomer shit, and while I am a part of it, its hard not to be, I dont see it as a great thing.

Media is the USA's most powerful tool and weapon. Hollywood influences literally the entire world and TV shows reach just as far. Do not underestimate how much damage you can do to a country through propaganda and value manipulation.

If you're going to terrorize people, its best to do it to random people who don't matter. Small business owners, random people on the street, cops who just care about their pension, etc.
These guys fucked up bad by targeting people with power and influence.

If he thinks he has a shot in 2024 after 4 years of 'election reforms' and demonizing the republican base he is straight up retarded. The real test will be in 2022 and if they lose seats or fail to gain outside of gop strongholds it should be obvious to everyone.

Anyone who voted for Trump who continues to vote for the GOP after this past election is brain-dead.

Welp, I hate to doomerpost, but I think that this shit will be the final nail in the coffin for a free and open internet once Biden gets into office. I guaran-fucking-tee that his administration and the Democrat-controlled chambers of Congress will use this event as an excuse to crack down on social media and push mass censorship onto the American populace (that is, if FaceBook, Twitter, and Google don't already do the former first). If there was ever a time that Section 230 was gonna be definitively revoked, it's this time, because Biden's administration's gonna wanna be able to prosecute websites and hold them liable for what gets posted on them. In which case, we can say goodbye to Kiwi Farms.

Seriously, fuck this crazy upside down world.

The one upshot is that there's potential alternatives, I guess. Just... I don't think many of them ever anticipated a sudden flood of users should something like 230's demise come about.

Eh, possible, probable, but not necessarily guaranteed. Facebook and Instagram and Twitter and so-forth could survive removing 230, and it could destroy all their competitors in the process, but it would also be very, very costly. Even if they dump everything they can think of into building a great automated system, policing language can be hard as fuck; people can say and allege shit that is slanderous and libelous in a way you can't just run an algorithm to screen for. Handling zillions of takedown requests from companies and individuals would be extremely taxing.

That's part of why they've been sucking Biden's dick so much harder lately. They want to curry favor with Capitol Hill and avoid a lot of this shit, get exceptions carved out for them, so-on. Nevertheless, broadly, I think the concern's valid. Especially since the people who should be defending the importance of 230 to the broader public, as well as the principle of freedom of speech more generally, have wasted a not inconsequential amount of time and social capital on, oh, say, people like Amos Yee.

This was a great day. Much better than expected.

The US government re-learned fear today and it was good. A great day for America!

Ah Bullshit. Platitudes for masses. You really think the combined armed services of the United States or the might of the Washington D.C. arsenal hidden from view was really under any threat from...the combined power of 83 trailer parks?

Give me a fucking break.
