    I don't find it funny. This is fucking terrifying.

    Had it been BLM protesters showing up armed to the teeth like that and marching, the National Guard and DHS would've been called ASAP. Cops wouldn't have hesitated to start flashbanging, teargassing and brutalizing them.

    Anyone saying that the protests from last summer are cowards and accomplished nothing, THIS IS ONLY POSSIBLE WITH HAVING THE POLICE AND HALF A FUCKING POLITICAL PARTY BACKING THEM. Look at the videos. Cops are fucking taking selfie photos with them. Trump spent months pouring gasoline over the fire with his pissed off batshit lunatic base and preparing for this. If we lived in a better country, he'd be jailed right now and awaiting trial for treason over this.

    Liberals should've took these people seriously instead of whining about ANTIFA. Look at how the media is still calling them protesters, when they are committing terrorism right out in the open.

      Are they really? There's something about like fireworks exploding... but no one was hurt? That's not terrorism. Neither is breaking into a government building. Calling any violence by non-state actors "terrorism" is police state language. which is usually deployed against the left.

        right and will be regardless of if we hamstring our denunciations of fascism by trying to appeal to fucking Foucault instead of the american public

          LOL what fucking Foucault? I'm talking about the definition of a regular word. The terrorist label is used and discussed all the time in mainstream spaces. Over-denouncing things turns regular people off. Calling everyone a fascist/terrorist is a terrible idea.

          And Trumpist triedhards aren't even fucking fascists. They don't have the organization or ideology. They don't deserve the ego boost of such a label, nor the media attention. Talking about them is what the libs want instead of holding the Democrats' feet to the fire. And it's what establishment conservatives want, too, because it'll help justify anti-left crackdowns.

            how bout the ones occupying the capital with support for the cops lol

            im not mad, but this is just a garbage fucking take, we should absolutely call this a right wing coup/terror attempt because it is and we can and most of america will agree

              What terror, what coup attempt?? This is a crowd entering a building. That's not terrorism, that's what we should do.

              Call on the cops to be fired for inaction in this case - great. You misuse words and they'll get screencaped and thrown back at you after the next big BLM event and "most of america" will say "yes, the left are terrorist - and hypocrites too". Consistency is a very simple thing.

                this will 100% happen anyway and you getting dunked on on twitter is not more important than the 90% of america who do not read "threads" absorbing spectacle , you dont get to me the good guys when media is totally owned by capitalists

                  dont be afraid to take a w, not taking it will not prevent the media being turned on any left wing insurrection which is a looooong way away anyways, d electoral politics are mostly where the us left is attempting to build strength, PSL isnt gonna overthrow the gov or lead an march on DC anytime soon hate to break it to you

                    Dude - I'm not even on Twitter. And I'm not expecting an imminent left-wing insurrection. But they already treat people as insurrectionaries and I want to denounce it in a consistent manner.

                    But it's not a win to use the police state's language. That's my position and I will stand by it.

      Of course, we would have had a plan for actually taking the capitol, something along the lines of the great Canadian BBQ of 1812.

      The chuds have no idea what to do next and it's great.
