That ... doesn't seem quite right, no.
- IntelMiner 6y agoI'd disagree People that are unhinged in their view of reality enough to think that they're going to just - Take a week off work - Book a hotel room - Board a plane - Take down the government - Fly home - Go back to work People who think that can be integrated into "just another day" are likely unhinged enough that they'd become violent when "challenged" at home on much smaller issues
- IgorPartola 6y agoThis is going to be a major generalization here, but "they aren't sending their best". One of the people at the riots was flying two flags: a US flag and a Georgia flag below that. That is Georgia the country, because he didn't think to check what the state's flag actually looks like. These people walked for an hour between the two ropes in the Statuary Hall. These people took selfies while committing multiple federal felony crimes. I don't know how this relates to domestic abuse, but it certainly points to few people there using their brains to full capacity.
- rodgerd 6y agoPretty much every Islamic terror attack in Australia (which is a small sample, I know) involves domestic abuse as a pre-cursor, for example. The links between misogyny and Islamic extremist groups are pretty well-documented. Given the degree to which research suggests that a similar current exists in right-wing extremism in the US[1], it's not a reach.
