    The "Trump's concession is a deepfake" conspiracy is giving me life. I love it. It's like, not impossible, and hilarious if true.

    So we all agree that the inevitable anti-domestic terrorism laws that will come out of this will end up primarily targeting the left, right?

    Why are people calling the chuds who stormed the capitol terrorists? Am I missing something or is it an op to allow anti-terrorist laws to be used against protestors in the future?

    You know, it should be mentioned that scaring the shit out of government officials is a good thing l. If we can get mobs of angry people inside everytime they try to vote, we can absolutely bring an end to liberalism

    Should be mentioned that my phone shut off after sending this, so the fbi is definitely stalking me

          Unfortunately we can't just not care about the Internet when it's become our primary mode of communication even within local communities during the pandemic. I'm almost convinced the federal government let this plague run wild to keep some of the left too scared to turn out for street protests and demonstrations.

            I def said it wrong. What I primarily mean is that we should stop caring about some cringe a socdem posts on Twitter.

      Yeah this was an absolutely hilarious case of shadenfreude but if dumb MAGATs who kill themselves with their own tasers and think the Democrats are satanic socialists then there's no excuse for leftists to start getting organized, even if it's just trying to unionize their workplace. The cops will obviously not let us into the Capitol immediately but if we sufficiently weaken liberalism through locally organized protests and strikes the revolution will eventually be successful. Violent riots in the Capitol always are a great sign that the empire in question is on its death bed. How many empires of this size reached their best days after insurrections and unrest of this magnitude?

      That said, it took 2 and half centuries for the Western Roman Empire to fall

    So, I had undercover cops monitoring my house at the height of the anti-racist protests last year. Someone I was working with had their house door kicked open & their house rummaged through.

    When the attack on the Capitol first started, I seriously thought it was going to be a larger, coordinated coup and I was scared for my life.

    Learning how fucking stupid it all was in retrospective has me straight manic right now.

      ive seen more people die irl on the streets of seattle and almost nobody gives a single fuck, but THIS is world changing

      This is what happens when people are too afraid to go outside other than when absolutely necessary, they miss this kind of gruesome shit if it's not documented. If there's any reason to wax apocalyptic this plague, and the associated homelessness, poverty, and precarity lie at the root; the MAGA riot/"coup" yesterday and the BLM demonstrations last summer to some extent, and the online spectacle that might be less immediately relevant stem from the despair over our collective inability to solve these root problems.

    I’m sure it’s been noted before, but it just dawned on me that “Parler” is an anagram for “Larper.”
