What is your personal theory about Jan 6. I am curious no matter how wild it may sound. I remember when it happened I figured some over zealous Trump supporters got out of hand. I never dreamed there would be this insane level of hysteria over it. I was initially shocked about the hand wringing over this after seeing the destruction of the summer of love as well as seeing other groups protesting at or in the capital. It is hard for me to take seriously the idea that it was an insurrection because if their goal was to take over the government that was a pretty lousy effort and same goes for Trump. Plus you got people still in jail over this.
What do y'all think is behind all this? I also find it odd how there is no curiosity about Ray Epps.
I think evil requires intention.
People who do evil things but are incapable of understanding the gravity of their actions are seen as less than evil. It's why you need to be competent to stand trial for heinous crimes.
There are vanishingly few people in the world who are intentionally evil. Most people aren't good, either, just... respond to stimuli and act on the moralistic story in their head. It doesn't mean good people don't do evil things, it just means most people don't see them as evil while they're doing them.
