I wish the left had shown up that day. imagine committed anarchists roaming the halls of power calling for Mike pence and pelosi.
and if the feds ever actually brought them up on charges, it would have been j20 all over again: multi-million dollar settlements paid to the arrestees.
the right is bad at insurrection and it shows.
they should be embarrassed.
And yet anarchists weren't there and didn't try to violently overthrow the lawful election of the President. Huh, just when I didn't realize I could think less of MAGA people you point out that anarchists, a group by definition committed to non-recognition of authority, are more lawful and respectful of society that MAGA people.
Why would The Left have been there in the first place?
to fight the trumpets. I was shouting "wrong side!" as they were breaking into the capitol building.
I had the day off work between jobs, and I had a pitcher of beer poured and a charcuterie. that was the best part
on the whole, very disappointing.
They'd be traitors, just the same.
That's the thing with all flavors of treason: insurrection, rebellion, revolution, civil war, etc. If you don't win, you're a traitor.
And the vast majority of Americans don't want "leftist" anarchists to overthrow the government. You can see what happens when people overthrow their governments by watching abroad.
Yeah, I saw it happen once in 1776 and it led to a clusterfuck of a country.
I don't know why you would put leftist in scare quotes.
look up the father of anarchism proudhon. read about the second internationale. the Spanish revolution. anarchism is leftist. anything purporting to be anarchism that is not on the left is neither.
Anarchism might be. But overthrowing a democratically elected government in spite of the population's desires isn't progressive. That's fascist. So get out of here with your treason.
most people didn't vote for any of the people in government
this brings to mind one of the most formative songs of my youth:
fascism is right wing. leftist anarchist overthrowing any government is just leftist anarchists doing leftist anarchism.
Still bitter that right wingers stole the word libertarian from us, but they can keep it now. It's been too thoroughly poisoned
>They’d be traitors, just the same.
is that what you thought about the j20 arrestees?
the left wants the liberation of all people.
liberals only want liberation so long as it doesn't interfere with profitability.
What is j20?
It's like Sunny Delight.
