I told my acquaintances that the "insurrection" would happen a full two weeks before it did. Am I a broken clock, or are you just out of touch with the fragmented landscape of political commentary on the internet?

Just curious...what is your prediction for the much talked about country-wide "event" coming in 3-4 days? I mean, the same people who were "chattering" about the 6th have said in no uncertain terms that they WILL once again stage an armed protest (good luck to that) starting on the 16th and culminating on the 17th at the capitol and the capitols of each and every state. With the threat of violence not just between the lines, but as an explicit threat to anyone who doesn't agree with their agenda and has the temerity to fight back. It's full-on terrorist level manifesto stuff. Should we hope the clock is still broken? Because I for one, am going to be watching from a safe distance away (not in person) and fearing for the lives of many people and our democracy on that day.

  4chan is advertising for people to go to dc again on the 19th but armed. I don’t know how you can dismiss this when hanging out in /pol/ for a day will bring up several 200+ comment threads. Save this comment: 4chan will be the next victim and the rest of the internet will say “good”

    If you have any idea what 4chan already survived you know they aren’t going to fall over this.

  Well it's a little harder to tell what's going on now that some of these right-leaning sites have been shuttered, but from what I can tell people are backing away from this and not showing much interest in further violent protest. There might be some large crowds in response to all of the recent deplatformings, but at least some conservatives are claiming that no such events are planned on at the capitols and that the media is inflating the story. Your guess is as good as mine though. There are so many lunatics in America that anything might happen. Hopefully whatever attempts at violence are made will be unsuccessful.
