Feds "accidentally" drops the hogs leashes leading to the violently hilarious barnstorming of the Capital as a means of both redirecting popular opinion on gutting police budgets and giving the State a convenient escape route from actually having to tackle its internal contradictions by utilizing these dipshit maga lead paintsniffers as a perfect scapegoat to not just justify keeping the militarized policestate but also expanding it
I disagree with this analysis.
While it’s technically true that the ruling class will militarize their police guards no matter what, stunts like this are important to normalize expectations / adjust what the citizenry will tolerate. We’ve all see how much hay they’ve made about the riot; it’s a great pretext to put copaganda slop in front of audiences. Imo it’s little reductionistic to say “oh the cops will be supported regardless” when their funding / propaganda is part of an ongoing campaign that we can see and analyze.
It helped to shift the narrative from pro-BLM to a pro-cop one. Remember all those sympathetic stories of the cop who was allegedly beaten to death with a fire extinguisher, but who actually died from a stroke because he had to strain himself so hard to resist the urge to join all the off-duty cops that were there rioting? The riot is doing a lot of work to normalize surveillance / police overreach and to me it’s absolutely worth a discussion of who’s using it and why.
I think this just shows the media establishment using 6/1 not that the feds caused it, which is what I am saying is a bridge too far. chuds are allowed to go around and chud it up, it then gets used in the media to further fight the left and the new powers are weaponised against people of colour. but don't be so naive that Biden, the guy who created the American police state, was ever going to go along with BLM, ofc he was going to fund the shit out of the police. Biden was never going to change anything, this just let him sell it easier. just because it let him sell it easier does not mean the feds conspired to let this happen or planned it is all I am saying though
If I were you I'd think long and hard about why you believe this is the case. Is it because it sounds too sinister? I don't know what happened on 1/6 with any certainty but if the government could plot Operation Northwoods then I don't think plotting 1/6 is beyond the pale. They could have just let it happen, but a plot has to be considered too.
I don't think it's too sinister, the US inteligence services have done so so much worse, and will in the future. I think it's a bridge too far in how esoteric and abstracted from the individuals just being chuds who were allowed to get away with shit. sometimes a chud riot that is allowed to get away with too much is just a chud riot that is allowed to get away with too much. the state has more avenues to get what they want than us jumping at shadows creating plots of what really happened
How was the Capitol riot esoteric and (un)individualized? It was planned openly on social media. I don't understand your point.
that's not what I mean, I mean this conspiracy takes it away from the realm of boomers and chuds on facebook who planed it and into this idea of dark backrooms, and obfuscates the involvement and desires of those chuds on facebook
Yes, if the government planned it, that means that everyday chuds didn't plan it. That is a tautology.
