Re: Insurrectionists have breached the Capitol
Personally, I don’t believe in bros before hoes, or hoes before bros. There needs to be a balance. A homie-hoe-stasis, if you will.

Yeah, and we'll pay for it.

Re: Insurrectionists have breached the Capitol
Shouldn’t it be this simple?
Huge numbers of our population believe in a complete alternate reality. But just as intensely as I believe they are deluded, they think I am the one who is deluded.
So how can I be confident in my perception?
It can be quite difficult. But, I have found that in times of political confusion, particularly when emotions are running high and creating tunnel vision, THE PRESENCE OF NAZIS CAN BE AN EXTREMELY HELPFUL INDICATOR.
If I am attending a local demonstration or event and I see Nazis…neo-Nazis, casual Nazis, master race Nazis, or the latest-whatever-uber-mythology-Nazis, I figure out which side they are on.
If they are on my side of the demonstration I am on the wrong side. It is tough to argue moral equivalence when I am standing next to a Nazi.
Look to my right. Is there a guy wearing a 6MWE (6 million wasn’t enough) t-shirt? I am on the wrong side.
Look to my left. If that guy is wearing a Camp Auschwitz t-shirt? Wrong side.
Are Speakers being applauded for referring to things that Hitler got right? Wrong side.
Team-spirit face paint and hat with animal horns? This is actually an unclear indicator that could mean anything, but safest to keep my distance from that guy anyway, even at a football game.
However, I can always, always, always rely on the presence of Nazis as a guiding light through a fog of disinformation.
Some things are relative, and politics can absolutely have it’s opposing sides and grey areas. But evil and good are absolute. As are the lessons of history.
So, just look for the Nazis, and make your own decisions.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Also if you see Nazis, hit them in the head with a brick. Then do it again.
GAH!

But then we are dealing with next level intellects so . . .

I can’t be arsed to cut/paste this on my phone, it’s too much work. Also there are terrific graphics in the article worth seeing. Everyone gets a couple of NYT articles free every month, I’d recommend this one. Just watched a great interview with the journalist who wrote it on All In With Chris Hayes, MSNBC.
The piece is about the massive data pool of cell phone app tracking that the FBI is using, from the cell phones of the insurrectionists, to track them down and prove their whereabouts on January 6. It’s fascinating to realize just how much people using smartphones and apps are offering themselves up for constant surveillance and tracking.
Good thing they’re not gonna get that vaccine with the tracking chip in it.
They Stormed the Capitol. Their Apps Tracked Them.
