If you call the Capitol incident "domestic terrorism," a "coup attempt," "sedition," "treason," or any other sensationalist nonsense, you're part of the divide that made it possible. It was many things, but a foolish, pointless, disorganized emotional outburst fueled by propaganda is not terrorism or a coup. The uproar over this incident following the 2020 summer of unrest is absurd, and claims of blanket "right-wing violence" as a societal threat is downright myopic.
Go easy on these radical Republicans. Rioting is new to the right wing. They're rookies. They have no idea what they are doing.
Meanwhile, we have much bigger problems to address. Government power concentration has been driving the zero-sum game of politics like a wedge into society for a very long time. The Trumpster fire is just the latest manifestation of this chaotic State intervention in society. Sool we will have Sniffy Joe and Kamala the Cop ramming theirnideas down our throats instead. That is not progress. A swinging pendulum does not indicate progress, and switching control from the "right" to the "left" is no better than the reverse.
We are now seeing the corporate social media giants going on another spree of censorship, and when Ron Paul is lumped in with the likes of Ttump, any dispassionate outside observer should start to question whether it is really about protecting the user base from violence, or dissent.
At least we have Hive, though. A censorship-resistant blockchain is far superior to a corporate behemoth.
