    just cos you say something it doesn't make it true and i'm not sure i care about your labelling anyway.

    The old far right attack (nazi, racist etc...) is lame - every challenge to politics , the media or some blue tick wanker on twitter is far right these days.
    People who believe like you will never fix anything unless they understand people's grievances. If you don't want too that's fine , just don't get upset when they bite back.
    These are the people you're supporting;

    Still inconclusive as to whether they are fascists : )

    A useful cheat sheet for white supremacist symbols from the New Jersey Homeland Security that might come in handy for these photos.

    You can see Raccoon Guy's valknut tattoo in the middle of the second row.

    Brilliant rant last night about the whole situation from Des Bishop last night on his podcast. Whatever ye may think of comedy, he was hitting the nail on the head for half an hour straight.

    I don't know... listening to Des Bishop for half an hour would be worse than four more years of Trump.

    I saw someone wandering around with that Kekistan Flag. Also, why is the Hunger Games three fingered symbol being used - it's in that image with the dude putting up the Odin's Cross flag.

    The love of high powered weapons is largely on one side.

    Only one side stormed the capital last night to try to overturn a legitimate election.

    This "both sides" stuff needs to stop. The rioting associated with BLM protests last year was disgraceful as well, but the anger on that side is much, much more justified.

    I agree that this both sides stuff has to stop. But I say not for the reasons you believe so.

    The division in US politics is so big and has been getting progressively worse for a long time. Is one side more to blame then the other...probably tbh. However, at this point is it helpful to go down the narrative of our side has the moral high ground over your side? I think not. The US needs leaders. Leaders who are willing to work for the US and forget about left/right, conservative v progressive etc.

    I am going to a hypocrite for a second and say there are radicals and extremists on both sides but there is no changing their minds. They are deep inside the rabbit hole. It doesn’t matter which of them is worse. What matters is you stop others being radicalised into these views and in some cases delusions.

    Media has a lot to answer for with is blue or red agenda. It shouldn’t matter what party you vote for if a politician’s behaviour is out of order then that should be discussed. It shouldn’t matter if the politician is one of ‘yours’ or not.

    With the power of social media combined with the state of US mainstream media and the political parties it’s a massive uphill battle for US to fix their problems.

    I didn't realise at the time of watching events yesterday evening just how many seditionists got into the US Capitol building, how far they got in and how many liberties they were allowed to take. It is baffling that they didn't have proper security there to deal with that. It's not as if the potential situation couldn't have been foreseen, is it. The moment you're crossing into that building with reckless, riotous intent, your ass should be lit up.

    Yeah, if he's prattling on about the immersion.

    Because a lot of these tools have no lives so need to act out the kind of silly fantasies of the TV that most of us stopped playing when we were 12. I bet half the idiots were running door to door and doing barrel rolls thinking they were in an episode of 24

    Honestly of all the crap surrounding these group it's the childish cosplay scares me the most. Gives a scary insight into the level of intelligence you are dealing with

    Another gullible one that the con man in chief has convinced he is working against rather than for the vested interests, which benefited hugely during his presidency
    They've played a good propaganda game for the last 4 years to be fair. Trump supporters are led to believe that "Big tech" like Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc are all on some "woke agenda" and actively fighting against Trump, when the reality is that these companies have been revelling in the zero-regulation, zero-oversight regime that the US has been running under Trump.

    They have been screwing the American economy under Trump, sucking it dry and continuously turning public interests into private ones.

    Also curious is the dissonance - Trump has fighting the multi-nationals and protecting Americans, but also he is be credited for soaring stock markets.

    The stock market is to a large extent a measure of just how much money is being taken from the public and hoarded by multinationals.

    Too many of the security have Q tattoos and Celtic crosses under those uniforms I reckon

    Ukrainian Fascist Party:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svoboda_(political_party)

    The salute is a combination of the trident in the Ukrainian coat of arms, and a modified thumb-and-two-fingers salute some Euro neo nazis use to get around laws banning old Nazi straight arm salutes.

    A lot of selfies taken during the 'siege'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,903 ✭✭✭HBC08


    The guy in the raccoon outfit has a big ol' white supremacist valknut tattoo on his chest, plain to see in literally every photo. He's a Q nutjob who shows up to BLM protests to yell abuse at them, carrying Q placards in almost every photo bar the one the crackpot network have been circulating.

    None of that matters,he was seen at BLM protest therefore the protests yesterday were infiltrated.
    That's the logic youre dealing with.

    There were many ex military amongst them, the woman who died was ex military.

    If they had captured the senate we'd be watching a protracted siege right now.

    The three fingers symbol has another meaning;

    Their aim was to capture the Senate? The ones taking the selfies?

    Their aim was to stop the electoral college vote.

    They failed.

    Just like Trump failed to get re-elected.

    LOL.

    It looked like they were surprised they got in at all. It doesn't look like they had many aims.

    are you still trying to downplay what happened? your stamina is impressive even if nothing about your posts is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,155 ✭✭✭✭briany


    "The guy in the raccoon outfit"

    Exhibit A of how social media has warped minds . Where will furry LARPers decide to siege next? Maybe the US could prevent much violent far right protest by releasing Anime feature films at strategic times.

    Not them. This guy on the other hand -

    https://mobile.twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/1346977323086729218

    Compare to the Michigan plot foiled a while ago -
    The first plan involved them recruiting 200 men and storming the Capitol building while Congress was in session.

    “They were to take hostages, execute tyrants and have it televised,” court documents show. “It would take about one week and (said) that no one is coming out alive.”

    A separate plan involved them setting fire to the Capitol building while the legislature was meeting, according to the filing.

    There was a gallows constructed yesterday.

    Quite incredible how the far right are in denial about this and are peddling the lie that its antifa in disguise who are responsible.

    They failed. Trump lost. LOL.

    Thats gas, pepe and that Kekistan flag are just from internet edge lords trying to be funny with dark humour, how anyone takes those seriously is hilarious. Even having them on that list from an official body is a massive win for those that spread them online, thats the joke like surely, that they are stupid lame jokes but people overreact and take them as sinister.

    Yes we've known this for weeks.

    Maybe Homeland Security know their business in this regard.

    Neo Nazi forums strongly recommend blurring the lines between "lol, just memes!" and straight up Nazi slogans and symbolism because you get to normalise it all while offering onlookers plausible deniability to keep them comfortable.

    If you think Antifa staged this, I suggest attending a psychiatrist.

    Thats the narrative coming out. Absolute head the balls need to be all mandatorily asked to attend a physician and then psychiatrist to reverse how deluded they have become.

    Twitter and Facebook can pay for it.
