I can't help thinking this is some post-ban PR campaign by Facebook, Twitter, Amazon etc to justify what they did and gain them some public sympathy.

- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y agoWhile possible, given recent events it is hardly stretching the imagination to believe this is legitimate is it? Need you be reminded that a group of armed radical right wing extremists forcibly invaded a session of congress with the expressed intent of executing politicians? Honestly, it is difficult to believe that anyone saying further right-wing violence is unlikely is arguing in good faith.
- gadders 6y agoI'm not sure I 100% agree with your categorisation of the Capitol invasion.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y agoThey are right wing, radical, extremists. They forced their way into the capital building during a session of congress. They chanted "Hang Mike Pence", among other things, and were armed. Please elaborate on which part of my characterization you disagree with.
- gadders 6y agoWell, they were also so outrageous and out of control that there are pictures of them standing behind the velvet ropes as they moved through the building. I've not seen any photos of them being armed either.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y agoAs regards your second point: I have had a remarkably hard time finding definitive information on that, so for now I'll concede it.
- mrguyorama 6y agoThey brought bombs and at least one cooler full of molotov cocktails. Bombs were planted in the capital building and at least the RNC headquarters, and possibly the DNC headquarters IIRC
