Apparently questioning the mainstream media narrative of the Capitol riot in any way is now "white nationalist rhetoric" that is "repeating debunked theories about the insurrection." Like it was a historical event that happened 100 years ago that historians of every stripe have already pored over to come to a unanimous conclusion, instead of something that occurred earlier this month which is still under investigation!

When things like this happen, it's no longer "politics" as we commonly understand it. There is no give and take, no deals or compromises, nothing even resembling representative democracy. It is pure domination, crushing the opposition under your heel and calling for every last one who might be a serious power contender to be arrested. No more illusion of freedom, it is now too expensive to maintain, and the Marxian progression of mankind moves ever onward.

So Biden is going to have 200,000 flags instead of people at the inauguration.

Interesting question: how far in advance do you have to order 200,000 flags? Because I'm guessing they've been planning on no-one attending in person for months.

@allison @rysiek Reverse chronological is the way to go. It should always be the default option. Fedi is more like a chat room. The danger with Reddit/HackerNews/Facebook/Twitter is their ranking algos help determine what you see, which determines what people think.

You know what the human mind is fractured now? Because there are a lot of people who tune out the news and social media and don't live in this fear-porn reality they keep pushing.
that awkward moment when nixon was nearly impeached for spying on one office while obama spied on thousands of political opponents and has not even faced criticism over it :blobcatgoogly:

people tell me tech makes things good but it kinda just looks like it lets the establishment get away with worse crimes :comfyshrug:
