Neo-Nazi dork ‘Baked Alaska' stormed the Capitol with COVID

... he’s planning on suing the bar where he says he caught it. nypost.com/2021/01/07/str…

- “you gave me COVID so I’m suing”
- “it’s my right to give you COVID as I commit sedition”

What was it the Dear Leader said? “They’re not sending us their best.”
I just want to ask a question:

If American born members of ISIS had... forced their way into the US Capitol while maskless and COVID positive...

... how many would call that an act of biological warfare or a biological WMD?
FWI (if you’ve followed me for 5 minutes, you know) I’m not advocating a War on Terror expansion.

But we need to think about the implications of differential treatment here in viewing “security threats.”

A 2-tier justice system works to obfuscate and minimize real threats.
What "real threats" do I mean? Well, shockingly - I have a thread on that!

The far-right, including neo-Nazis, have long planned (and enacted plans) to exploit the COVID pandemic, and spread coronavirus.

That wouldn't be news to you if ISIS had.

^^ We've known the far-right / neo-Nazi extremists were the #1 national security threat since DHS' 2009 report.

Obama minimized it, as it's politically inconvenient.

Trump helped, but- don't pretend it's all on him.

These are the people paid to analyze situations for us.

Good God, how frustrating.

Call me with questions, Chris. Happy to fill you in on a decade or so of work on the matter.
Twitter is infested with some of the absolute dumbest takes I have ever seen on the issue of white supremacy, insurgency, and political violence.

Please vet your sources.

People are falling for so much utterly ridiculous shit, my God.

Quick thread on the Capitol siege and media culpability (it's not what you might expect) incoming.
Recently, we've heard A LOT about media culpability for platforming and laundering the ideologies of white supremacists like Richard Spencer. All fair.

I won't rehash the other list of grievances.

But there's another issue that's older: the death of print media and paywalls.
Contemporary media rests on two foundations:

1) access
2) profit

Obviously, the need for each corrupts the entire enterprise. But their convergence raises an urgent problem we need to address ASAP.

"What Should Happen to the Capitol Invaders? [...] it’s important to separate feelings of anger from of justice."

So...here's the (one) thing:

Unless compassion / empathy extends to ALL, this cycle will continue, and worsen - it's already entrenched.

Serendipitous timing, given my last thread with the thread about rationality in propaganda analysis and the War on Terror.

Obviously, I am 100% behind the need for logic, rationality, and wise strategy over the passion of emotion.

However...
Post-9/11 came the question of prosecution: "terrorism" as criminal act, or war? And that went well.

I'm not arguing for "making a lesson" (etc) out of Capitol insurrectionists, but something to think about:

Entitlement and expectation of no consequences played a huge role.

Send me your email; I’m happy to share 4+ years of work with you.
In case you new folks are interested in the relationship between violent non-state actors like ISIS and neo-Nazi movements, here's an old thread.

I've long referred to this parasitic relationship as "symbiotic extremism."
Same topic: 'symbiotic extremism'.

The relationship between ISIS & far right mobilization (from 2018):
