OK. I just think that the less of this stuff is in the open, pushed right at you on twitter/ facebook, the better. The harder it is to find radicalizing propaganda, the better.
Anyone loading up a TOR browser to go find their racist hangout is already lost to civilization.
There’s an 80/20 principle in these kind of mass movements. There’s the 80% of lightly-attached folks that are down with the cause as long as it’s not too hard. Once you start having to install dark web browsers and driving a van full of weaponry cross-country to have clashes with cops, most of those people are out.
Some will cross over to the 20%, of course, but you can cut down on those numbers by making it more difficult for the hardcore to radicalize the tourists.

Letting millions of people get radicalized to maybe make it easier to catch the much smaller number of really bad dudes is not, I don’t not think, a great value proposition.
I trade in anti-money laundering for banks, working with law enforcement. They are great to work with, but almost always want a vulnerability kept open to catch a big fish. When that vulnerability is somewhat out in the open, we don’t keep it open - letting a thousand yahoo’s work a scam they read about somewhere is not worth maybe catching the really bad guys, who honestly move on to more sophisticated stuff way quicker. Same principle.
Start the process. Impeach. Put all of Congress on record on how they stand. It’s simple. Make them vote for or against.
Mike, no reaction from you to the tweet? I love those!
Some tweets are too perfect for comment.
One thing I hadn’t thought about, with regards to how people may be charged with new offenses in the coming days/weeks: there are infrared cams installed as part of the surveillance packages all over the Capitol. My cousin who does law enforcement notes this:
And infrared reveals the presence of firearms.
Which are not just illegal in the Capitol building, they may run afoul of DC’s own fairly strict firearm laws.

Dr. Frankenstein to his monster: “YOU DID THIS.”
Can you overdose on schadenfreude? Or do you just pee out the excess?

Yes. Basically all of them do it.
But that also means you can often have those companies leverage their wallets against these organizations or cut them off.
And I will be surprised if all of them don’t completely cut off this Republican AG fund.

“We had nothing to do with this at all. If someone tells you to jump off a cliff and you do, whose fault is that?”
Also, what “good” did we get in the last four years? I must have missed all the good Trump did while he was in office.

I didn’t realize Amazon was booting them. I don’t know why anyone would be surprised that these big companies don’t want anything to do with the people who tried to overthrow the government.
Maybe they can find some other place outside the country to hose their trash.
