CAPITOL RIOTS'

It sounded like we were going to war with the United States government' | Former Oath Keepers testify at trial of founder Stewart Rhodes

Three former members of the militia group said they became concerned by Rhodes' increasingly belligerent rhetoric in the wake of the 2020 election.

Insurrectionist says what?

It's only taken over two goddamn years, but Proud Boys CONVICTED of SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY.

Still watching January 6th Hearing, here's my general impression:

John Eastman knew the constitution did not give the Vice President any power to over turn any election, ever. He even admitted it in private. But he knew Trump would fire him if he didn't provide a plan to win the 2020 election. So he lied to Trump that Pence had the power to solve all of his problems, and because Trump knew nothing about the constitution, he believed it. And so Mike Pence, the perfect Christian sycophant for Trump, became the last Scapegoat of the administration.

The Jan 6 committee released 7 min of previously unseen footage of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and others responding to the riot from a secure location as it unfolded in real-time on January 6.

Protect the Office of the Presidency Don't Protect America Itself

Protect the office, because that is superficial and easy. Isn't the pretense of us having values and being good more important than of actually being good?

We need the freedom to do wrong again, of not learning from our history and our past mistakes. No accountability! That would be too uncomfortable! Make America safe for Karens!

Don't you want a true Authoritarian, Fascist America?

Does this make your choice any clearer?

WHAT HAPPENED?

When no one was looking, the alt-wrong spewed a lot of fake news that stuck and we discovered that America wasn't as cool as we thought.

the skin whiteners shows that racist beauty standards that favor whiteness or paleness are still horrifically common even amoung POC. There are fucking sweatshops all over the global south all run by western companies and like a shit ton on "convenient" produce (bananas, coffee, sugar) come from modern plantations. also what do you mean by corporate greed =/= capitalism, like thats the driving force behind our current system. Again the hawai'i tourism relates to colonialism, again. Im talking about Nonblack artists piggybacking off of black mediums to get rich. Also the apartheid thing kind of makes me think that the genocide you are talking about (and just seems to be farm attacks) is using scare language. Genocide implies a government hand. I dunno, the alt right seems to have power because of the JAN 6 RIOT, Y'KNOW THE THING THAT HAPPENED 3 YEARS AGO REMEMBER THAT? AND LIKE, THE LEGALIZED SEXUAL DISCRIMINATION? Yes poor white neighborhoods are also overpoliced but thats Whataboutism, you are changing the subject

also TBH, I think that the worldview that proudly proclaims that everything is just fineeeee and that no systemic racism existssss everrrrrrr is significantly and vastly more black and white than one where it does.

Okay, but THAT'S NOT OPPRESSION. Poc adopting "racist beauty standards" is not white people oppressing poc. It's not racist oppression.

Sweatshops are absolutely fucked up and stupid, but they are not racially motivated and do not mean poc elsewhere are oppressed. That is a corporate greed thing, not a racism thing.

Corporate greed is not capitalism. Capitalism as a system is all about free trade. What you are thinking of is corporatism, Hun.

Colonialism. Right. Cuz Hawaii's government favoring tourism for it's economy totally means poc are oppressed by white people, even ones that don't live in Hawaii, a non-white majority state.

"black mediums." What black mediums..name them and then how that's racist. This is a free country, and if those mediums do not have rules banning white users they are not black mediums and do not have a right to cry racism if non-blacks use them, let alone try to blame it on white people if non-blacks "get rich" on them.

Sure, Hun, cuz killing people en mass because of their race isn't genocide if they're white. We get it you're a racist.

And honey, sweetie pie, the Jan 6 RIOT? where there were no casualties on the side of the cops caused by the "rioters" but casualties on the "rioters" side? That's fucking funny given the summer of riots BLM performed with the government not even trying to stop them, black people blatantly supporting the riots, claiming it was their right to burn shit down and it was racist to oppose the riots or even defend yourself from rioters cuz "property doesn't matter over black lives. UwU". You wanna call Jan 6 a riot when they didn't even destroy property, I'm so fucking done. What's even more fucking funny is that there is no legalized sexual discrimination. That is not a thing.

And no, that's not whataboutism, you listed black neighborhoods being overpoliced as a form of oppression black people face. I pointed out white people face it too, meaning it is not racially motivated, ergo cannot be racist oppression, ergo cannot be racism even by your shitty definition. And I never changed the subject. I was literally on fucking subject, you just don't like me proving that what you listed is not racism.

And that's funniest fucking thing you've said so far.

Motherfucker, WHERE DID I SAY SYSTEMIC RACISM DOESN'T EXIST??? You wanna claim I'm changing the subject while you're putting words in my mouth. Systemic racism does exist, but really only the conviction rates you listed was systemic racism, and oh guess fucking what? Even in America white people face systemic racism too (legalized discrimination in hiring processes, for example, being the majority of police violence victims, being able to be murdered with clear racial motivations without it being labeled a racist hate crime, etc), and systemic racism existing does not mean you cannot be racist to white people.

Again, you are just mad that I am not agreeing with you. I never changed the subject, I never said systemic racism doesn't exist, I just don't follow your nonsensical "power plus privilege" view on the matter (which in itself doesn't make sense as the vast majority of white people hold no more power or privilege than any poc, and there are poc with far more power AND privilege than the average white person).
