[Ibon]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Pops', '
')So is it a conspiracy? Depends on what you call "conspiracy." The republican party, it's various backers: Addleson, Koch, murdock, the gun makers, oil companies, corporations, blah blah have been pushing ever more hysterical fear out over AM radio for decades—while they automate, offshore, raid retirements, cut wages, undermine social welfare, eliminate environmental regs. We are at the very locus, the culmination of the anti-abortion, anti-feminist, ant-gay, anti-immigrant, anti-atheist, anti-"socialist" hysteria conspiracy.

So who is backing the conspiracy? Well, trump said it out loud, I pay for politicians and they give me what I want. The people with money, real money, who want more and don't care how they get it.

Listening to the US Attorney press briefing, sounds like they are totally serious about bringing sedition charges, murder, lots of fun stuff.

Hopefully this will throw a little cold water on the fantasy warriors.

Well, this is good entertainment:

What happens after events like this:

For the mob that stormed the US Capitol, a lesson from Charlottesville

These people are not glorified. They are hunted down.

An excellent synopsis of the U.S. Capitol Insurrection and the American Civil War II (actually, the Great American Political Divide II):

I think that is the narrator. I am 100% in agreement with his conclusion on the 'Capitol Insurrection'.

No easy answers provided, which I also have to agree with.

OK. This is interesting. What is happening here?

Two police officers died by suicide after responding to Capitol riot
https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/27/politics/police-officers-suicide-capitol-riot/index.html

No one wants to speculate so soon after these tragic deaths, yet we are curious what exactly could be happening?

Are these guards who thought this rally was a good idea and were subsequently horrified at what took place?

The reverse? It's hard to determine what is in a man's soul. However, social media sometimes reveals all.

Everyone knows where I stand, at least

This thread reminds me of my ex-brother-in-law. He used to stash guns all around his house. He couldn't go anywhere without his gun. Mostly, that was all in his mind. The world can be dangerous. What he did was to listen to everything that reinforced his fears. He sort of listened to those that didn't, but not really. Imagine what his social media looks like.

I think what we have here is the apotheosis of the process of demonizing political rivals. It started decades prior with AM talk and Fox News and has culminated in the storming of the capitol and representative gun nuts who would like to execute Nancy Pelosi. Now we have tens of millions of Americans living in their own alternate-reality who would love to have a second civil war. This is going to tear the country apart regardless of the fact Biden managed to get inaugurated.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('JuanP', '

[Plantagenet]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('aadbrd', ' ')It's highly likely 2021 will see the first successful political assassinations along the lines of the attempt on Governor Whitmer. I also don't rule out bombs going off in softer civilian targets but I think right now the emphasis is on taking out political figures rather than random citizens.

The WSJ today has an op-ed on Speech and Sedition. It's not that I pay attention to the WSJ (as I don't get beyond their firewall and just read the titles).

However, on KPFA today, they talked a lot about the line between free speech and locking of accounts and deleting threads just as the Egyptians erased anyone's name from stones whom they had issue with.

I am more of the opinion that falsehoods that wantonly damage individuals is not free speech and conspiracy to sedition is both and inciting a riot is just that and is not free speech and Oil companies denying facts about climate change is deception for profit and is also not free speech, etc. So, it is a fine line that must be carefully drawn.

The routine false dichotomy of invoking extremist speech to argue that free speech is not allowed. And of course only the right has extremist speech and not the precious, angelic left. All the blood libel spread by the leftist mass media and SJW drones on the internet is hate speech. It should be banned according to their own demands.
