        big tech companies but they have the exact same amount of power as they had last week

        Yeah this is one of the problems. Focusing on the two events (Trump ban, capitol riot) and weighing them in the balance is pretty pointless IMHO rather than looking at the larger problems that they're illustrative of (corporate control of media and censorship, growing right-wing unrest).

        But also, these things don't need to be seen as one or the other, which is the way that the OP frames it. One can be concerned with both.

          I'm not framing it that way at all, not surprising you're being disingenuous though, the "leftists" who want to side with open neo nazi fascists because that's what we have to do to beat the jews globalists "international bourgeoise" apparently are framing it that way

              Maybe it’s too many years on tumblr dealing with “stealth” reactionaries but OP’s post history in general doesn’t pass my sniff test tbh. I hope as the site matures posters redirect their time and energy away from this kind of 100% bad faith shit.

                "Not surprised you're being disingenuous" one comment into a thread is an obvious tell. Just trying to start fights.

                  Lmao yeah also shit like this:

                  cause she’s a stupid cunt having woman who doesn’t understand male anger grr

                  Like immediately flags to me as trying to roll some Cisphobia bullshit into a convo about misogyny or whatever. Also if someone’s unironically using shit like “reeeeee” in an argument on their new account 9x out of 10 they’re not here for Principled Debate lol

            Holy shit bud. Coming in hot with your new account, huh? I haven't seen anyone talk about the 'international bourgeoise' at all in this thread or any thread.

            I have way more reason to be scared of the actual state that wields actual power reacting to this in a way that affects all levels of dissent in the country, even the stupid neo-nazi boomers. I'd be worried if sections of the military had decided to join them. I'd be worried if the secret service had acted with them. I'd be worried if bombs actually went off. But none of that happened.

            Now, what did and is happening is a reaction with cooperation between the state and private media apparatuses, which is, in fact, an aspect of historical facism. The question is to what degree is that reaction going to clamp down on any apparent dissent, which, if history is any judge, will almost certainly be aimed at leftists immediately after a right wing threat is dealt with. We'll see though.

            OK well you said this which kinda makes it look that way:

            no not the attempted “coup”


            the “leftists” who want to side with open neo nazi fascists because that’s what we have to do to beat the jews globalists “international bourgeoise” apparently are framing it that way

              Half the replies are from literal nazi accounts agreeing with him, its the same on a grifter like glenn greenwalds replies, weird that huh? That white males would reflexively back white fascists doing coup's, but every time a brown LIBERAL woman like AOC breathes she's the devil? Its so incredibly obvious the audience you are cultivating. At this point in my local leftist scene the dirtbag left is not liked and strongly associated with misogyny and regressive ideas, this is the tipping point to you fuckers getting your teeth stomped in if you show for a DSA meeting and spew your garbage, just a warning if you ever stop being a terminally online LARPer

                And here you are introducing yet another false dichotomy that's also not even relevant to the original point that you made.

                Nobody here is "backing" the coup and if you think that, you have brain worms.

                Later, wrecker.

                Yeah, I generally don't like libs and lib analysis that ignores the particular history of the U.S. and it's particular focus on shutting down left wing discourse, which you know, tends to be by poc? This is some dogshit liberal brain analysis that doesn't take into account the fact that there are multiple factions with multiple interests and that the situation is actually complex, particularly regarding the relationship between the left and the state. If your local DSA doesn't appreciate that, then they need to actually read some history and theory. That's cool you don't like the dirtbag left, it's completely irrelevant.

                You have any other brilliant insights?

      yes planting bombs is very much on the same level as deleting tweets, we are big brained discussing these high level ideas

          I would say its definitely not as important to politics as actions taken in real life, such as planting bombs in political buildings
