Pray tell, what exactly happened on 6th of January outside the Capitol?
Why some people are allowed to fight corruption, but others aren't?
Isn't the US lobiying another word for corruption?
- ginko 5y agoThat was another spontaneous rebellion. If anything it proves grandparent's point.
- pjc50 5y agoIt was organized in advance on social media. Some people even had t-shirts printed. It may have been "headless", in that it's difficult to identify organizers, but it wasn't entirely spontaneous. It remains an open question as to whether any of the posters on social media talking up the idea to protest at the capitol, or the mysterious person with the hoodie and bag of pipe bombs, were sponsored by overseas enemies of the US. There is as yet no hard evidence for this. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/jan-mystery-pipe-bombs-night-capitol-attack/story?id=81723935 https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/jan-mystery-pipe-bombs-night...
- ralmidani 5y agoYou have it backward. The January 6th Riot was not motivated by a desire to oust a dictator. At the time, Donald Trump was President, and he wanted to remain President despite losing the election. As for corruption in the US, I acknowledge it, but it’s laughable to compare it to what happens in countries run by Putin and Pals. In Russia, Kazakhstan, Syria, etc. the people’s only choice is rebellion. In the US, we (still) have the ballot box.
