As people continually point out, imagine just how much differently the events on Capital Hill would have turned out if the mob wasn't practically all white and self-identified Christian.

a ton of people on twitter and youtube posting articles about similar and even more aggressive events done by leftwing individuals and people of color have already answered your question.

"imagine if they were black" is a transparentely false partisan narrative.


and BTW, the cops opened everything and welcomed them in, from the outside barricades to all the other doors on the inside and the outside. they were being treated almost like a group of tourists

Weird that they keep electing RINOs then if they swear they hate them. Must be because, even if they hate them from an economic perspective, the Right has certainly spun an empty culture war narrative in their favor to stoke the base.

Truly equal treatment under the law

This is supposed to build your case that police treat protests from the left and right equally how exactly? Police actively guided Right "protestors" to various Democrat offices, with occasional support from Republican legislators. Police did next to nothing to stop Right "protestors" from pepper spraying the police or from breaking into barricaded areas.

Huh. Wouldn't have expected that, outside of an authoritarian country like China.

i am as surprised by it as you are.

i mean, all my life we have been under socialists but i never noticed this particular issue

CCP's influence is international, man, as I mentioned before. Wouldn't be surprised if any news, involving the PRC or any non-Chinese politicians who have connections to the CCP, get blocked or banned, at least to some extent.

would those be the high powered lasers that can cause permanent blindness and look like assault riffles?

and again, i need to see the video to make an informed commentary on that.

furthermore, going out of your way to buy, bring and then use a powerful military grade laser makes you a hell of a lot more dangerous than just randomly running over someone with your car because you ran into a crowd of potentially violent people and that you didnt expect to meet.

and finally, one thing that i learned recently.

cooperating with law enforcement (some may call it snitching) will go a long way to give you a super reduced sentence. if you dont comply, they throw the book at you.

did those protesters identify their co-conspirators?

RINOs are wolves in sheep's clothing. only the people that actually pay attention to what each of them does individually and is super into politics and what each person votes on would spot them. most people dont have the time for that because they have lives and jobs, so they acts like Republicans on camera but when no one is looking they go against republican principles and help move the overture window to the left.


only with Trump being so different from all of them and recent years causing people to become increasingly more aware of the inner workings of politics and foreign policy have now a much greater number of people started to notice.

ask yourself: "why did they continuously go out of their way to obstruct and now recently to stab the President of their own party in the back? and why do they continuously do so to their constituents? and how do they manage to remain in power even when people increasingly want them gone because they dont see an improvement in their lives? (it obviously takes a while to spy a turncoat, but people increasingly notice it)"

After the latest European personal data protection law got passed, several non-EU websites who couldn't be arsed to comply decided to just block all traffic from Europe. Might be that, has happened to me in the past.

Makes sense.

Communist influence is international. Did you suddenly forget the standard for censorship originated in the USSR and not your (former) country?

[LegalLoliLover]

Well, strictly speaking, communism came from a German guy. That being said, most censorship nowadays has its origins in not offending potential Chinese audiences. I can't seem to recall any incidences where a movie or game changed a Russian villain to something else, while I know for a fact that it happened with negative portrayals of the Chinese.

I mean, even cartoons can still mock Russia, while I doubt they could take the same kind of shots at China.
