    From a 30,000-foot level, all this is easy to diagnose.

    America was not founded as a pluralistic universal democratic republic. It was founded as an Anglo-Saxon republic. Part of the mythology was the purported superiority of Anglo-Saxon civilization. It’s why something like Manifest Destiny was considered a good thing and not just naked aggression.

    In the South, African slavery was part of this mythology. Since there were a lot of black slaves, a formal racial caste system was more important.

    “White” just means “Anglo-Saxon and friends.” As recently as the 1930’s, American immigration policy explicitly ranked Europeans by caste: Germanic, Celtic, Mediterranean, Slav. Non-European immigration was more or less banned until 1965. America stayed white on purpose.

    In the 1960’s, America dismantled some of the formal caste system because it was turning most of the Third World to the Soviet side. LBJ and Sam Rayburn didn’t have some moral epiphany, rather they just read their classified security briefings.

    But the passage of a few laws in the 1960’s wasn’t going to undo centuries of propaganda that created a culture in which a massive chunk of the country was convinced that their safety, well-being, and entire way of life was predicated on keeping white people in charge.

    They didn’t stop believing it, rather they just took their beliefs underground and learned to speak in code.

    It’s wonderful to want America to be a pluralistic democracy with equal rights. But that’s not what it has been, and there are a lot of people willing to fight and die and kill to stop it from becoming one, because they think such a thing would descend into a hole. If they have to choose between democracy and white supremacy, then they will... scratch that, they already HAVE CHOSEN the latter.

    You want to “deprogram” people? Good luck. You have 400 years of culture to untangle.

    Black people haven’t been carrying on about the fatal flaws of the Founding Fathers in order to discredit democracy, but rather to preserve it.
    Immigrants like myself don't want to hear about your stupid past. It's 2021. Vice President is a mixed woman raised in Canada. Time to wake up and live in the present.

    You haven't tbh.

    It wasn't just slavery for blacks. You don't know history.

    A lot of whites here can't let their loss in the Civil War go, so 'em.

    America does have an abundance of stupid but it is mostly because of poor K-12 education. Immigrants that prosper here excel in math and science not social commentary. Americans should take note of that.

    So either this person actually is stupid enough to think that invading the Capitol in order to execute Congress and the Vice President is the same thing as burning down a Wendy’s, or that was just a lengthy, elaborate way to say “n*****.”
    Lmao you think that was going to happen? You're a moron bro! Keep buying the hysteria the MSM sells ya serf.

    Btw, you trying to tie this to race is hilarious too. It shows who the racists actually are even with your cute asterisks.

    'This is war': Inside the secret chat where far-right extremists devised their post-Capitol plans

    The government charged Lang with committing assault and other crimes, but the account of his activities spelled out in court papers doesn't mention how the 25-year-old spent the 10 days between the riots and his capture:

    recruiting militia members to take up arms against the incoming Biden administration by way of an invitation-only group on the messaging app Telegram.

    The group, created two days after the Jan. 6 attack, grew from a few dozen members to nearly 200 in just a week.

    There, safe from the deplatforming spree of mainstream social media giants like Facebook and Twitter, Lang set out to recruit “normies" and radicalize them to the point that they joined regional militia groups.

    Trump's most fervent supporters — still simmering over baseless allegations of election fraud — are finding new connections on messaging platforms that are largely hidden from public scrutiny.

    Within days of the riots, more than 25 million users globally joined Telegram,

    some of those involved in the Capitol insurrection, ... appear dedicated to planning and participating in further violence.

    More recent social media posts by Lang acknowledged his struggle to stay sober and a deepening interest in religion.

    He chastised members who veered into more social territory.

    “Guys please this is a MILITIA group to defend our country from communism -

    private message each other if you want to flirt. Only warning."

    Indictment Alleges Oath Keepers Prepped For Weeks For Capitol Attack

    Three members of the Oath Keepers militia group were indicted on conspiracy charges Wednesday over their allegedly planned effort to disrupt the congressional certification of the 2020 Electoral College tally.

    Caldwell allegedly described a hotel location that would “allow us to hunt at night.”
    grand jury indictment filed Wednesday quoted more communications between the Oath Keepers about their alleged plans — and also showed them directly motivated by former President Donald Trump.

    “If Trump activates the Insurrection Act, I’d hate to miss it,”

    Once inside, Caldwell allegedly received purported information on the whereabouts of members of Congress, in Facebook messages that read,

    “All members are in the tunnels under capital seal them in,” and

    “Go through back house chamber doors facing N left down hallway down steps,” among other things.

    400 indictments likely for the failed Jan 6th putsch, plus one more impeachment, GOP fractured over Trump.

    Basically nothing.

    Trump’s rioter flip, will testify against him




    At least five Trump supporters who are facing federal charges from the riot are turning on the disgraced ex-president to save their own skin.
