It's not a liberal doc.

And I was near where it happened. These people tried to do a fascist putsch.

[-] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 35 points 6 months ago

I dont doubt that they honestly believed they were going to overthrow the government. But what do you think their chances for success ever were?

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 3 points 6 months ago

Pretty darn likely. They had backing from several sectors of capital, but it was ersatz and done at the last minute.

This was obviously a test-run

Pretty darn likely? What happens when the National Guard comes and mows them down? You think if they got into the building and hanged Mike Pence that they would have control over the country and everyone would have to bow down to them?

Why would they use idiots who try to climb a wall with a set of stairs inches away from them to launch a serious coup to take over the country?

[-] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 29 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Half of them smeared their own shit all over the interior walls. Even if by some miracle every person in Congress burst into flames and died on Jan 6, do you think corporations would start taking orders from them?

Nope.

I saw people armed to the teeth shouting about how they were going to topple the government.

[-] edge@hexbear.net 39 points 6 months ago

They were larping. If they actually believed they could violently overthrow the government, they would have used those guns. But they didn't.

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

They weren't larping. They killed and injured several people.

[-] robinnn@hexbear.net 36 points 6 months ago

They killed nobody but themselves, two rioters dying from heart attacks and one from a drug overdose. Oh and there was the woman killed by Capitol Police.

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 3 points 6 months ago

Exactly! And several injured! They tried several times to kidnap a governor!

[-] robinnn@hexbear.net 28 points 6 months ago

And failed. What serious fascist coup can't kidnap one governor?

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 19 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

The~~y~~ FBI tried several times to kidnap a governor!

This is PatSoc shit.

Ony PatSocs support the fascist coup attempt.

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 44 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

No, it's not pateoc anything. The cpusa is haunted by patsoc obsession. This is real leftists not caring about liberal drama.

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

CPUSA is anti-PatSoc, actually.

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 27 points 6 months ago

Lmao

I am saying cpusa is obsessed with talking about patsocs, who are insignificant nothings. At no point did I suggest they are pro patsoc.

[-] Yor@hexbear.net 22 points 6 months ago

American leftist orgs are hilarious

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 16 points 6 months ago

there will be no revolution in America, of that I am more certain every day kitty-birthday-sad

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

They are not. They literally took over several organizations.

lol

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 22 points 6 months ago

Oh, big important influential ones?

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago
[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 22 points 6 months ago
[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

They've set up shop at several Trump organizations and succeeded in taking over KFA-USA and PCUSA.

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 20 points 6 months ago

oh shit well with their influence democracy in america is joever

[-] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 27 points 6 months ago

Nobody here supports the hogs come on now you know that. We just don't really think it matters like libs do. A fascist coup looks like 2000, not 2020.

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

No, a fascist coup looks like 2020, not 2000.

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 27 points 6 months ago

Do you understand that a coup actually succeeded in 2000?

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago
[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 26 points 6 months ago

You are claiming a stupid protest riot is the same thing as an actual coup that worked

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago
[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 26 points 6 months ago

the protest that didn't work is worse than the coup that did

this is what you're saying?

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago
[-] MaxOS@hexbear.net 19 points 6 months ago

What is PatSoc? Jan 6th was just a dumb spectacle. A cop died, a guy tased his balls and shit was smeared in the capitol building.

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

Several people died and were injured.

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

"Patriotic socialist"
