For the benefit of non-Americans:

 

After many months of attacks on the American Imperial Empire's ruling regime's buildings, costing billions and dozens of deaths, as well as the ruling regime's rapid acceptance of systemic racism and brutal oppression, even to the extent of senior regime members bending onto their knees to symbolise their failure, the knocking down of its sacred idols, as well as promises for the regime to defund its forces of oppression, a small yet brave group emerged in January 2020 to finally overthrow this regime and its parasitical elite class and their cosy sinecures.  

 

The underclass group bravely confronted this oppressive, militarised regime and moved into its symbolic power centre, obstructing the fake kabuki theatre of political change where one group of elite briefly swaps out for another group. This 'bastille day', so to speak, went ahead with little property damage and few casualties. Hark! The angels had been kind.

 

Yet at that moment, victory was snatched from their arms, as those pretending to curse this oppressor class, turned on a dime, and confronted those who sought its end.

 

For it turned out, that it was all just theatre, and those loud cries of racism and sexism and other such jibber jabber was intended to simply divide the masses and had simply got out of control.

 

Years later, America remains submerged in the stench of an elite vampirically living off its underclass, and well-intentioned but low-information voters, who think justice has been achieved, celebrating the sanctity of their pitiful dying empire. 

Satire.

I'm not going to comment on the content of your post, but it you certainly have a unique, interesting style of writing.

Where do the rioters intend to riot?

 

FBI buildings? Surely, that bed bug-crazy possibility has already been planned for. Town Halls? What do they have to do with it? Police departments? Already have shown to empty the gun if they feel even a little unnerved. Another go at the Capitol Building? Def will not be taking selfies with the guards this next time around.

 

We'll see sporadic terror akin to school shootings. It will be random. Trump wants America to look like Fallujah on his behalf. But these people are driven by deep religious grievances, not stuff they know is complete nonsense.

Fair play to you. So do you embrace the workers and peasants owning the key to production? Standing together against exploitation of the poorest? A welfare state for all of your compatriots who fall on hard times?

Well, most circuses have a safety net under the acrobats.  Don't you think this circus should have one too?

Why didn't they at least try to initially incarcerate ALL of the insurrectionist invaders as they left the building.

Their strength was in their numbers and in the moment.  Check out a movie from yesteryear called "Ox-Bow Incident" (with young Henry Fonda), has a good depiction of mob rule.

What I find impressive is that all of the rioters they have brought in were via facial recognition and internet/phone records. 

So when some knucklehead tells you "THEY are tracking you via a microchip implanted during your Covid shot" you can tell them they don't need to, you can be easily tracked via your phone/device.  I have not heard any chatter about people in mass numbers giving up their phones.

Oh, and if you commit a crime don't take pics of yourself doing it -- if anyone thinks that's stating the obvious, ummmm . . .

There's been a case or two where family, friends or workmates have given them up as well.

How Proud are you now, Boy?

I just found out recently they got their name from a song in "Aladdin."  (not a joke)

 

 

It's impressive how they picked a song that so lacks the gun-toting machismo they try to project.  At least they could have picked something sung by a masculine-sounding baritone.

The guns are just an extension of their inadequate manhood!

I think the explanation of how they chose their name is a lot more simple.

 

It sounds like a ‘boy band’ and I think that was the attraction.

That's unfair, many of them are incels.

Hey, y'know this sounds like a setup for one of those movies where a female Dirty Dozen infiltrates etc.  Bikini Girls vs the incels

Has this verdict established that wearing your hair upside down is some kind of sign of rank or seniority amongst these proud chappies?

[ballpoint]

Trump has come out on a right wing radio show and said that if he runs and wins, he will "look very favourably at full pardons", plus a government apology for all those convicted for their involvement on Jan 6th, as the show host applauds each statement with "amen".  Seems like Putin isn't the only one talking about freeing convicts to do his dirty work.

Apropos to my previous post, regarding Trump's continued veiled, and not so veiled threats against law enforcers, while praising January 6th rioters; while I strongly believe that the decent, law abiding majority of Americans will be repulsed by much of what he has (and his appointees have) done and said, I also believe that, if he manages to escape conviction for every one of the many issues he's being investigated for (which, luckily, isn't looking likely at the moment), and then, through fair means or foul, gets re-elected in 2024, that America deserves what will come of that.  And it won't be pretty. 

 

The whole sorry saga plays out like an old time western.  The evil Trump gang rode into town and tried to take it over.  Will the townfolk stand up to his bullying, or will they lay down and let him walk all over them?  I'd like to see the current sheriff call his bluff and sort out the problem once and for all.  Sure, members of the gang will whoop and holler, and try to cause trouble, but the sheriff owns the cavalry and has the means to settle this now.  Some things are better nipped in the bud - even a bud that was pruned back in 2020 but allowed to resprout - than left to ferment and foment.
