There's scum on each side of political spectrum. When these mostly young fools realized there was not going to be a riot, their energy spilled over into the Capitol. If Trump wanted that Capitol sacked, all he needed to do was give the word and it would have been burned to the ground. A couple of broken windows, a busted door and some graffiti. 31March2020, DC riots resulted in streets burning and business being looted.
I'm not much for conspiracies, been 100% apolitical and have completely blew off Deep State my entire life- until this slippery slope censorship stuff. Really never cared who was president, political ideologies or what was going on globally. Only this year I realized there’s this political spectrum. All the noise from people/governments/religion/politics were well within tolerable thresholds within the lifetime of me, my kids, their kids…
What’s unfolding now is very sick shit! Shit I never cared about personally. I can tolerate having my religious freedoms stripped, being locked in a political prison, starved, beat etc. But my kids? I'm going fucking Braveheart now!!!
Apple (Store), AWS (Amazon Web Services), Twitter, Facebook, Google (Google Play) are de-platforming people and services. It's all fun & games to politically make light of your enemies (right & left) being silenced -- until it affects everyone.
You can kiss Net neutrality goodbye! What's was primarily a reality for folks in Venezuela, China etc has now become a reality globally (no hiding/escaping from it).
I work for a Telco. My company pushed hard the past 2 years deploying infrastructure to Cloud. They pushed hard to get me ‘Cloud’ certified. I purposely failed a Cloud Engineering test because I do not ethically agree with what it stands for. Cloud is not simply a technology platform, it's an idea. An idea dreamt up by Capitalism to control every aspect of the digital economy and your digital life. Capitalism has pluses and minuses - this would be one of those minuses.
This year my role changed from System Engineer to Cloud Engineer. This is not like yesterday's Internet where you could hide your shit or go Deep (or Dark) Web. Everything is Cloud now: WhatsAPP/Signal/Telegram, Netflix, Hulu, all of Social Media, Banks - <insert service name here>. Everything you rely on is hosted by Telcos today [Verizon, ATT, Comcast, Charter] on Cloud platforms [Amazon (AWS), Microsoft (Azure), Oracle (OCI), IBM etc].
Even if you build your own server to host services- you still need a colocation. If you host your own website (off home Internet), you rely on Telcos for your pipe to the Internet. With Cloud rolled out globally, you ultimately need to rely on these communication services upstream. They have the power to shut you down. Fuck end-to-end encryption, they only need to disable your account.
They didn’t just shut down some fringe group, they shutdown half of its citizens.
And this is just the direct consequences. If you’re caught on camera or Social Media involved in something considered controversial (right or wrong) you can be cut off (economically and socially).

I was hopping for some sort of organized military move to keep the current administration in office. If there was truly fraud (and there was), then have the conviction to 'hold that line'. All legal avenues were pursued, they were given a chance to do right thing - they failed to adhere to the letter of the constitution (then the administration does not get to assume office). If Trump 'truly' wanted an insurrection, all he would've had to do is simply give the word - and that Capitol would not be standing today! Trump has been very clear from the start, that he will pursue every legal path -even strongly affirming in an interview weeks before Jan 6th- would move forward with transition of power.
This is spot on! We don't play by their corrupt rules. They know the system too well. I've fought against corrupt retards in the workplace that have made a career out of gaming the system. They're experts at this shit. There's only one way to take them down. History clearly shows the path to this. It's only by force. No revolution ever took place peacefully. Everyone in the US has been weakened by the luxuries of captilsim and hyper consumerism. Addicted to phone, YT, FB, Netflix, Twitter etc. Too soft!
Best policy, don't talk to ignroance. Got labeled a misogynist and racist. Pathetic being white, raised in an all black Harlem and adopted into a black family. I lived the black struggle and then some (reverse racism). If I'm being called racist...!
