Anything from hopes, fears, expectations, predictions, etc. What are your thoughts on the events that transpired today, and what do you think comes next?
I personally, was initially shocked. Not mortified, not surprised, but shocked in a human way, as a reaction to the initial footage of people getting in to the Capital building. I wasn't one of the people thinking that Trump was going to cross the rubicon any time soon.
Then I started feeling other emotions. I was pissed, for one, as this shit was being demonized super fucking quick and had immediate national guard response as opposed to the months of burning, looting, rape, murder, and carnage of the George Floyd riots. I was full of patriotism and pride, as this was Americans fighting back. It may be futile, it may be for nothing in the grand scheme of things, but I was happy to see people actually do something like this for their country and the ideas its built upon.
What happened today is something that, quite frankly, needs to happen, and needed to happen for a while now. Our government and politicians have failed to represent us for many years, it was only a matter of time before people pushed back. Politicians need a reminder of who is actually in charge of this country.
Maybe I'm being hopeful. Maybe the adrenaline of today is still kicking in my veins. But honestly, at the end of the day, I am proud that there are still people left who aren't afraid to stand up, even if there aren't enough, there are still those who care about the country I've called home my whole life.
A summer of rioting. Entire blocks of cities burned. Businesses destroyed... for what? And what did law enforcement do? Nothing. Certainly didn't deploy anything beyond non-lethal riot suppression.
One hour of unrest at the Capitol. LIVE FUCKING FIRE AGAINST AN UNARMED PROTESTER.
Fuck optics.
Optics will be always against the right because the left controls all of the fucking major institutions.
Today shows us how there is clearly a different standard of law enforcement when it comes to protecting the globalist state versus protecting regular people, protecting their cities and their businesses.
Fuck the optics indeed.
Yep. We are bad at optics because the narrative is already set.
Optics will be bad until the news networks are changed and the government is changed. Leftists will never stop slandering and murdering innocents and it's naive Boomerism to think they'll stop if asked nicely enough.
The entire situation is completely fucked. Compare a picture of DC in June vs today, and try to put the label "the worst day of American history" on one of them. 9/10, people will put that label on the June picture, which had DC literally in flames.
Congresspeople hid behind chairs and had to rush around.
It's just like Pearl Harbor and 9/11.
Yet they praise what happened in June like it was the best thing ever. What a bunch of fucking two faced pricks.
People air their grievances with the government by destroying each other's neighborhoods and livelihoods: A-OK.
People air their grievances with the government by peacefully occupying the Capitol building: EVIL, RIOT, COUP.
It will get a lot worse. Not right away, though. This was the first act. I have a feeling things will ramp up in two years time around the next round of elections, since it took decades for this to happen, in my opinion. Our government has failed us for too long, this honestly should've happened already.
Yup. They sabotaged the economy for two reasons:
To get rid of Trump, and to fuck over the middle class. No one but the uppity elites have benefited from this bullshit set up by them.
It could be a slow burn, but it could also happen surprisingly quick. We'll just have to see how it plays out. These things can happen in a flash, seemingly out of nowhere.
The political class still control hellfire missiles, feds, military, media, laws...
Objectively, today was a minor disruption to their day.
I was black pilled after SCOTUS betrayed their oaths, so I knew Pence would cuck. I was what blind idiots were calling a “Doomer,” because I called a Spade a Spade. But the demonization of patriotic protesters from literally everyone and the execution of Ashli Babbit has turned the black pill corrupted. This is civil war, and we need to act accordingly.
Let me guess, did you predict cucked Pence on TDW?
As for Ashli Babbit, I don't know what to say. She was a 14 year veteran who got shot for entering the building that houses the people who sent her to their endless wars. Fucking sickening, especially as someone who has an extensive military and police family.
I honestly think they're a majority LARPers, with very few actually intelligent sounding people in there. The rest seem like they were driven off for being "doomers" or some bullshit.
Definitely feels like the beginning of...something. Maybe it will end in victory for any patriotic and populist forces that have the courage to forge ahead and rise to challenge the oncoming train of Kamala Harris Thought, or maybe they're headed to defeat, but today didn't feel like the end to anything, no more than the Boston Tea Party or Massacre were an end to anything.
I'd also like to take a moment to appreciate the irony of how months of the left burning/looting/murdering their way across America ultimately ended with some streets being renamed, some tasteless statues of Saint Floyd going up, and a lot of humiliating optics all around that the media hailed as 'mostly peaceful protests'.
Meanwhile an hour of the right (bloodlessly - save their own blood) pushing the DC police aside, occupying the Capitol, taking some pictures and reportedly pilfering Nancy Pelosi's hard drive has sent Congress running in terror, and is even now being branded as a riotous insurrection by the MSM. In the big picture, Congress still commands a 15% or so public approval rating and the cops have now decisively dealt a deathblow to the right's Back-the-Blue sentiment. Yeah, this definitely has potential, if the right can organize and build off of it.
"Congress has an approval rating of 9%. By contrast, Omar Gaddaffi had an approval rating of 13%, and was dragged into the street and executed by his own people."
This is what bugs me the most. Twisting themselves in knots to avoid the slightest criticism of the Floyd rioters but so quick to demonize these people today.
My thought is that democracy has just proved itself not to work. It has become obvious that it always was a farce, pure theatre.
The only thing I'm not sure about is what's better, anarchy or well-intentioned authoritarianism. Most likely anarchy, since benevolent authoritarianism hasn't managed to exist in 99% of the world. Only rarely.
Well that's the issue, too many people think the US is a democracy, when it isn't. It's a republic, which is mentioned in the Federalist papers written by Hamilton, Madison, and other founding fathers.
I think a majority of the issues stem form how our founding fathers (mainly Jefferson, the fucking bastard) set up the Constitution. Making it amendable was too idealistic on their part. I'm sorry, I don't think it should be necessary to put "Slavery is illegal" in your nation's founding document, among other redundancies outside of the Bill of Rights. The process of amending the Constitution has brought too much shiestiness into our government, allowing politicians to create their own Constitutional loop holes so they can do what they please, and undermine our Republic and natural rights as citizens and people.
Obviously I'm talking about the democratic aspects of the republic, though.
Then on those aspects, I agree with you.
Mostly just disgusted at the uniparty's cowardice in the face of actual protest. The smell of America is definitely in the air though. It's nice.
That's how the upper class usually respond to a push from the middle and lower class: sniveling and cowering.
Hell, the French Revolution was the ultimate culmination of centuries of bullshit and bullying the upper class had done. The Renaissance was essentially a giant middle class boom, and between then and the French Revolution, it's been nothing but the upper class trying to fuck over the middle class by any means necessary because the middle class represents a real threat to their status and power. Hell, the past decade or more has been nothing but the upper class telling the lower class to attack the middle class because they are the cause of all of their woe and anguish, when in reality it's the upper class that keeps the lower class down.
I’m glad people stood up, but it wasn’t enough. I’m pissed at these “conservatives” who are saying “This isn’t the right way! I don’t support protesting like this from any side!” They try to sound like intellectuals above all of these “petty” politics because they think that sticking to “principles” will somehow overcome the media lies and manipulation. Really they are just cowards who are ready to surrender at the slightest provocation.
Right now, we are witnessing the most blatant election steal in US History, and at least half of the country refuses to understand anything other than what Big Brother CNN tells them is true or false. With Democrats controlling (basically) all three branches of government, the decay will accelerate. I will have to prepare a backup plan when the bottom 3/4ths of the economy collapses. I need to be ready to leave the country at a moment’s notice, but I don’t know where I would be able to go if Europe becomes an Islamic controlled continent. Maybe Japan if they would even let me in, though probably not since I don’t speak any Japanese.
My mom is one of those "I don't agree with any of the violence, it's not right," and it makes no sense to me. She literally told me it's easier to ignore what's happening, and I just can't bring myself to come along that line of thinking.
Our government has failed us for decades at this point, selling out to foreign powers, separating the American people, and over reaching their power over us. What happened yesterday has needed to happen for a while now. I'm glad it happened, and hope it inspires more people to act out.
Didn't go far enough. Clearly the people who need to have their voice heard aren't going to be able to do that through conventional legal channels, so this was their chance to do it the unconventional way, and they...milled around for an hour in the Capitol and then left?
Fuck optics - as we're seeing, they were going to get smeared no matter what, so they should have gotten their money's worth and sent a real message. At a minimum they should have camped out there, chained themselves to shit, etc., to make the building unusable for the foreseeable future.
Right? Leftists/Antifa would have trashed the place, that is if they didn't succeed in burning enough of it. They're going to be called terrorists and demonized anyway, might as well actually do something instead of leaving a bit of a mess.
I was disappointed. They blew their load way too early. Its very likely all these people will just go home tomorrow, especially because the National Guard will truly be out in force and right wingers still aren't prepared to take on the authorities they still, deep in their heart of hearts, respect. The right wing still hasn't been pushed beyond breaking point. Who knows if they ever even will?
The protesters will likely go home tomorrow, satisfied that they worked out some of their frustration, and go on still living under a crushing boot. Contrary to antifa, who are able to field coordinated (if largely ineffective) resistance, all I saw today was wild flailing. None of these people are committed to a long haul op, again unlike antifa. So while I was proud of these patriots standing up, it was immediately tempered by the knowledge that this is all the people have in them. There was no plan beyond the wild flailing.
If that's the case, then call me a closet Democrat, because I want the destruction of the GOP too.
The GOP and DNC have ALWAYS been in league to fuck over the little guy. They've always just stoked the fear of socialism only to turn right around and fuck us in the ass.
So if the GOP burns to the ground, I'll be happy. We need a true right wing in this country, and we need it yesterday.
Trump would never do that. It just isn't his style.
That wasn't a load. It wasn't even pre-cum. Snot on the knob, at best.
a boop on the nose... with your dick.
Mostly peaceful protest.
I wasn't super surprised really. I figured there would be something more than a peaceful protest (in the real definition, not the CNN one) but not much more than to fuel the propaganda ministry. So, I'd say went about as expected.
I'm still a little torn on a path forward or if there is one. I can't put together a path to a free and complete (all 50) United States remaining. If there were a revolution now, what does it accomplish? We've put some bodies in the ground and are still left with what's left being a bunch of people with opposite views that hate each other. Honestly, I think if there were to be a successful revolution that keeps the country together, we're going to need a lot of really shitty times first. We need a ton of people to learn that their life sucks because they are actually about to starve to death, not because they can't do their dream of being a movie star or they wish their penis was a vagina. On the plus side, we've got an administration that can accomplish this shitty life. On the bad side, we're the ones that have to live through it.
My plan for the future is to fly under the radar a bit if I can, try to forecast what's coming the best I can so I can be as prepared as possible to deal with it, and as a side project keep building up to be able to resist tech censorship and retain as much access to free speech as I can.
Based on how congress are reacting, they're scared shitless.
Ultimately a couple hundred unarmed and barely organized people captured and occupied one of most secure and heavily guarded buildings on Earth in the space of about an hour. Sends quite the message I'd say.
Effectively, our government got tea bagged in front of the entire world.
Indeed. And it proved that the government aren't as powerful as they want you to think.
900 billion defence budget but they can't even lock down a building.
They thought they were untouchable, really. They built themselves a nice little god-complex due to how politicians are (for some reason) viewed in this country, so they thought no one would ever try to invade what is essentially the Golden Palace. They were proven very wrong, and I have a feeling more messages are going to be sent down the line. With love, obviously.
I was able to ascertain a few things:
Should be a very interesting two weeks from here. I wonder what will happen, especially if the Leonardo development proves true, plus the E.O. regarding foreign intervention in US Elections.
I’ll condemn all destruction and violence but more and more I got annoyed about the media hypocrisy. They are quick to call this a riot but bend over backwards for thugs destroying businesses and looting.
The Republican party is done for. The only way they could possibly come back is if the Dems fuck up somehow significantly worse than whatever they ever accused Trump of - which won't happen. Big Tech, the financial world, the GLOBAL media, religious institutions and China are all on their side. I can not imagine a single example where that would happen though.
What this means for you and me: Build wealth, accumulate power and be ready to flee to any save heaven. We'll either have global civil wars or we'll slide into such oppressive state of affairs that you will still want to flee from them.
Call me a doomer or whatever all you like, but this either went exactly as planned, or it was a pleasant surprise.
In a year where they made hundreds of thousands (millions maybe?) newly unemployed over nothing but a bad flu season. They openly steal an election from those people. They spend months destroying businesses that are still open, and raping and murdering during their little 'protests' while cops do absolutely nothing. All the meanwhile, 4+ years of demonizing 'the white man' for doing nothing against them but giving them free stuff and otherwise wanting to be left alone and treated fairly.
It was going to explode eventually. So it's one of two situations:
The entire thing was planned to some degree. They will use this to push for far more extreme control over the internet and for enforcing mass censorship. They will use it as another reason to take your guns "what if they had been armed?!".They will use it as an excuse to strip any dignity and livlihoods from people who want a fair and free country.
Or it wasn't planned, and they're freaking out that suddenly we're starting to play by their rules, but they will take advantage to do what I previously said.
The US is already divided, it is already under the control of Israel and China. These protests are extremely important in trying to undo even a smidge of control they have. Otherwise, say hello to your new CCP overlords.
Don't mistake this as me saying it shouldn't have happened, I'm very glad it did and I only wish my own shithole country would do the same. But I think it's going to get much, much worse before it gets any better. Change doesn't happen peacefully.
My greatest dissapointment is that 4 Americans were injured/killed and the feckless cowards in Congress got away scot-free and get to resume with business as usual. The media, establishment, and talking heads who think that optics matter will trample over themselves to condemn today, push more overreach, and then memory hole it in their quest to keep power.
Schumer already called yesterday the "Pearl Harbor of our time," as if 9/11 didn't happen. What a fucking bunch of weasels.
The moment Pence announced that he was treating his role as purely ceremonial, it was clear that the process was going to be a formality. Possibly a long and drawn out formality, but still a formality.
Would it have been better to wait until the vote on the Arizona electors? Probably. Would there have been any point in waiting until after Biden got confirmed as president-elect? I don't think so. It happened a bit too soon, but frankly not by much.
Should they have gone home when asked, or should they have stayed as an occupying force? Well, nobody brought guns because violence wasn't the intent (and all the actual deaths were among the protesters). They might have been able to hold the Capitol through sheer weight of numbers, but I don't think there was ever an articulated intention to do so.
Was this planned? Well, they certainly got in suspiciously easily, and we know there were AntiFa members mixed in. Apparently they stayed behind when everyone else left and got beat up by the cops. But from stories of people on the ground, the actual push toward the Capitol happened organically.
Even if this was caused by AntiFa or other agitators, at this point I think we should own it. We don't control the narrative anyway. "Yeah we did it, next time come and join us" seems like a better message than "it wasn't us, honest!" or "they made us do it!".
As for what happens next ... I know a lot of people are prepared to take this all the way. That might happen on the 20th, or it might happen sooner. Maybe Trump is going to pull something out that stuns us all as Lin Wood is suggesting, but either way I don't think things are going to end here.
I totally understand. I'm in the mindset that you can't be abandoned if they were never with us in the beginning. The establishment needs to go, and there aren't many options on how to do that.
Hopefully it wakes up some of my more boomerish, bootlicking conservative friends to the fact that most cops don’t give a fuck about you or your rights and will suck as much government cock as they can to keep their paychecks.
Very clowny.
Honk.
I think it was the start of something much worse both in the sense that they rammed biden through and that, well, after they murdered that peaceful protester shit's just going to escalate.
But i'm also at the point that, hey, the left's been radicalizing, its nice that the right found their spine it seems, this shit wasn't ever going to end peacefully, i think its going to come to a head a lot sooner now, and yesterday is going to look tame in comparison.
I just want shit to return to normal, i'd have liked trump, but i can damn well tell you the left won't play nice with the house, senate, and the fucking presidency, both elections looked shady as all hell to boot and everybody outright refused to look at evidence, i don't know what they expect 3/4 of the country to do when they think that their voices aren't being heard and are instead told to fucking cope.
I hate all of this but i'm not shedding any tears for the left for whatever comes from that murder yesterday.
And people still think that oh, they were going to object! They would let the republicucks lay out their evidence! No they fucking wouldn't. They got a convenient excuse to back out, and one that doesn't even make sense, a fucking protest doesn't immediately invalidate the evidence of fraud, shame on those rat fucks for caving.
Trump needs to activate the Insurrection Act and put an end to the corruption that rigged the election against him.
It's now or never.
It shouldn't have happened. Unless that stolen hard drive turns out to be a gold mine of evidence, I don't see the line from this to "and that is how we saved America." The bastards aren't going to stop being bastards just because of an hour's inconvenience, so unless you're there with a division of marines to arrest conspirators, don't give the enemy an excuse to shoot you.
The hard drive is going to be nothing but hair appointments.
