Actually it’s pretty straight forward there and point of fact: you can have your opinions that dig around for whataboutism but the law as written means every single Jan 6th insurrectionist met the criteria for being a Domestic Terrorist.
6/
The law can not cover every detail and unique circumstance and in fact DOES THAT NO WHERE.

Nonetheless CLEARLY CRITERIA IS MET FOR CHARGES OF DOMESTIC TERRORISM & BUT FOR THE US OPERATING ON WHITE SUPREMACY ANYONE OTHER THAN WP/WM THUSLY
7/
ENGAGED WOULD HAVE BEEN LUCKY JUST TO LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO BE CHARGED.
T/loophole is White Supremacy

@Percussioner211 Intelligence community
@Percussioner211 Ok, I’ll take up that issue. It’s embedded in White culture such that everything you interact w/from birth on informs you of the Superiority of Whiteness... ALL MEDIA ONLY REFLECT WHERE & WHO WE ARE it does not create who we are. That happened before you turned to the channel
1/
@Percussioner211 & the channel YOU PICK, from a huge array of options for facts & truth TO BELIEVE ..Those racist right wing content channel reflect beliefs you already have, & those conveying facts that disturb those beliefs are discarded...

Cherry picking and choosing what to believe 2/

Yes ma’am, & don’t forget his highly popular widely distributed Alt-Reich radio shows & Roy Cohen Stones Mentor

This is all tied up in illegal/barely legal activity $$ & dirty tricks as part of ongoing long range strategy & organized plans tied to WS White Christian Right &
1/
everyone going back to Joe McCarthy Nixon to Reagan to the Federalist society.. etc
All these folks are well practiced & well know how to construct, leverage& organize propaganda & been doing it for years partnering with White Supremacist groups & the right wing
2/
fundamentalist White Christian Alt-Riech & they’ve long co-ordinated with the NRA, Putin FSB for tactics info & funding and on and on.

What y’all think HRC was right about everything except when she said (in the 1990s) “there is a vast right wing conspiracy machine?”

@estarianne @C_Stroop To answer your question radicalization refers to the process by which folks come to adapt opposing political social points of view of what’s the established norms.
In this case WS WP are not radicalized even if they suddenly join a WS group neither are White Christians as
1/
@estarianne @C_Stroop WS IS THE ESTABLISHED NORM. WM/WP want stricter controls BUT WHEN DIDNT WM want that? And yes murder/hate crimes escalated but I’d argue that’s due to cellphone video, as Black folks can now make it crystal to WP who’ve denied it all along & as for murder WS has
2/
@estarianne @C_Stroop & WS US GOV & WS US society has always justified t/murder of Black folks and Brown folks; you don’t need to be radicalized for that, see police department across the US ICE, DHS, see US health policies and on and on

That said there’s a lot of folks throwing words
