I at least agree with this, it’s no way 100% more like 98% maybe 99% at the most. basically the same ratio as the mods

The Brooks Brothers riot was a demonstration at a meeting of election canvassers in Miami-Dade County, Florida, on November 22, 2000, during a recount of votes made during the 2000 United States presidential election, with the goal of shutting down the recount.

no different than what your claim the goal on 1/6 was

for sure, but it was a petit bourgeois riot set off at trump's urging and followed through on because of the prevailing belief that the forces removing trump from power were illegitimate and could be stopped or at least given pause through a physical disruption of the capitol. every coup is ultimately a bet that, when you move, enough people will move with you or at least step carefully out of the way that you'll win. trump made a bad bet because he's a dumbass

I'm convinced that capitol police made poo poo up and stoked the flames with rumors the whole time in a sort of "how dare you consider cutting our budget or disrespecting us at all" move.

Anyway, I don't have any decent takes on China being socialist or not, but the halting of the Ant IPO was a good sign that they're not going to let Jack Ma and his ilk run completely roughshod america-style.


My only other China take is that if Li Zi Qui is propaganda it's fuckin' working on me

sure but at one point the US had a top marginal tax rate of 99%, keynsianism works for a while
