“Who controls the past controls the future, who controls the present controls the past.” George Orwell
The media is complicit every time they use “riot,” instead of “coup attempt.”
Right after Jan 6, I started posting how important it was to not refer to the incident as a ”riot," or a “coup,” or anything other than an “Insurrection.” That’s the word used in the 14th Amendment, Section 3, which prohibits those participating in an Insurrection from holding elected office. It was important then to characterize it as an Insurrection (which it was) then, and it’s important now.
Wasn’t it written by the people who run an Insurrection in the colonies?
To be clear, I completely agree with you, and even in Italy that would be called an insurrection and not a riot and or coup, if our media was not literally bowed to a fascist government (or, at the time, to a government that got its talking points from the fascists who now won).
I just find it… interesting, to say the least.
No, the Amendments are additions to the Constitution added by later administrations. The 14th Amendment was added after the Civil War, to keep Confederates from holding office in the Union government, who won the war.
Thank you for the short and sweet lesson.
Other examples of important Amendments were the ones that abolished slavery, gave women the right to vote, prohibited alcohol, and then repealed that prohibition.
When was the latest and are there any in discussion?
It’s a difficult process, and very, very few make it through. It requires a 2/3 vote of the House and Senate, and then 3/4 of the states have to vote for it. Almost 12,000 amendments have been proposed, but only 27 have been ratified.
The 27th is weird one, having been first proposed in 1789, but not finally ratified by the states until 1992. Usually, there is a 7 year limit on the States’ votes. The previous one, the 26th, was in 1971. The biggest failure between those two was probably the Equal Rights Amendment, which faced a fierce battle by Conservatives, who don’t feel it’s necessary to codify equal rights for women.
There are a number of unratified amendments out there, most of which have been dormant since the 19th century, and will probably never be finished.
It is almost impossible to get an amendment proposed and ratified today. The 2/3 approval by Congress, and then 3/4 of the states, are nearly impossible hurdles in the current political environment.
LOL it wasn’t even a riot.
They entered a building with little to no resistance.
Americans are feeble and weak, incapable of a coup attempt.
You would give up immediate when it gets tough.Not sure what you were watching that day…
I literally saw the cops gesturing to those losers and letting them in to the capitol.
I didn’t care to watch much more of this cringe spectacle, just laughed at the pathetic clownshow that is your banana republic.
Couldn’t care less about it, it only provides entertainment and a source of ridicule.so you didn’t watch much of it, but have an opinion on it, but you couldn’t care less, but it’s entertaining, but you didn’t watch it.
as someone who shits on the US here every chance i get, please leave our side, you’re making us look stupid and incoherent.
you have trouble with comprehensive reading.
I saw enough.
And you don’t tell me what to do.
I am not on your side, didn’t even get that right. Your side is like those US dems.
You’re angry bcs the bootlickers of EU now have trouble with the US.
You never cared what that awfull country did all the time before.
Or were you brave activists boycotting them when that senile racist was genociding Palestinians?
I bet not, you’re hypocrites,pretentious and a joke. That’s how you look, worry about that.funny you talk about reading comprehension, call it the wrong thing, and then go on to type the most unhinged “we found this on the walls of the apprehended killer written in his own feces”-ass rant. you’re right, i have trouble with reading when it looks like that.
bye now, enjoy your shithole.
Go cry somewhere else
So there were some sympathetic, complicit cops, that doesn’t negate the breathtaking violence that was happening everywhere else.
All you know about it is the very selective coverage by the Conservative Propaganda Machine, which edited tens of thousands of hours of footage down to a few minutes. If you watched the actual Insurrection, which I did from start to finish, you saw plenty of vicious violence against the cops.
Just because you have decided to voluntarily remain ignorant of the truth and embrace treason, doesn’t mean intelligent, patriotic people have to go along with it.
All you know about it is the very selective coverage by the Conservative Propaganda Machine
LOL sure.
That’s all we watch here in Europe. You are very smart.
Making assumptions based on nothing.
I’m not from your clown country so I don’t need to watch everything, And who TF cares about those pigs.
They are a despicable cowardly gang of thugs.
Nowhere in the world people get murdered by the regime forces more than in your shithole.
But still you clowns lick the boot. ACAB“intelligent, patriotic people” LOL definitely. That other side of the uniparty is just as bad.
You’re just butthurt your pretentious and sanctimonious side isn’t in charge of bombing brown people or putting kids in cages and aiding genocide.
Oh nooo our demoooocraassy and our freeedumsiii!!! I’m glad you’re circling the drain and hope Trump keeps doing what he’s doing.
Go cry somewhere else. No sympathy for your scummy banana republic, you’re all filthI don’t care where you’re from, all I know is that you are parroting the worst Conservative Propaganda about the Insurrection.
That is your simplistic view and your Pavlovian reaction of binary thinking.
And again “insurrection” LOL
A buch of fat clowns entering a building for some hours.
Americans don’t know what insurrection or resistance is.
Proof of what is (not) happening now.
All you weak cry babies do is complain.
Zero action, bcs that’s hard.
Keep putting up stickers, do some interpretative dance protest and whatever so I can have a laugh.
Why would you erase a peaceful protest from history, hmm? Is it because you know that’s not true?
These fucking morons. Like the internet doesn’t exist. It is so tiresome to be an American.
It’s an indirect admittance of guilt. You don’t erase your victories from history, you erase your faillures.
All this tells me is he’s ashamed of them, which is crazy. I expected the ‘idiot penduoum’ to swing the other way and him declare a holiday and/or put up monuments or something.
Ask China about Tianammen Square and see how well thats going for them
Pretty well, actually. Ask a Chinese teen if they know what happened on that day or if they recognize the Tank Man photo.
They told me to fuck off and went back to smoking cigarettes and trolling people online.
from what i understand, they do know about it - they just don’t talk about it for fear of getting in trouble… at least the international students
*Video
I would prefer he is erased please.
History is written by the victors. American history is currently being rewritten by the crybabies bitches.
PLEASE just someone tell him WW3 started and he has to stay in the bunker until he dies. The Vatican figured out how to “retire” a pope, the US Gov can do the same.
I really don’t want him holed up with nothing to do but talk shit on the Internet…
Just give him a copy of Dr Sbaitso he’ll be entertained for his entire attention span
But imagine him being the only one that doesn’t know!! They’d probably need an AI to feed him fake tweets, because the Internet would totally still be functional after WW3 in his “brain”.
The US government could do the same, but there are too many fascists seizing their opportunity at the moment
The rest of the world will remember. This idiot thinks it can be erased and hidden like it’s 1870.
What is funny is they said it was ANTIFA BLM so then was it ANTIFA BLM in prison that TRUMP pardoned?
And if he’s pardoned someone for something that didn’t happen then is the pardon legit?
the inconsistency of messaging is on purpose
Yup, it’s been termed HyperNormalisation and there’s a brilliant BBC documentary about it from 2016
Here’s the trailer: https://youtu.be/AUiqaFIONPQ
oh wow! i always just called it throwing speghetti at the wall to see what sticks
Spaghetti walling is my favorite part of the creative process, next to actually making shit.
They’d say that the deep state sent patriots to prison.
That’s not how it works in 2025 dummy
Hey guys, do you remember Tiananmen Square?
“What are we, a bunch of Asians?”
Removed by mod
How is “Hey guys, do you remember the MOVE bombing” promoting violence and the comment I replied to isn’t?
What a buch of hypocrites.
Embarrassing clown mod.It’s been long enough since I’ve heard ‘patriots’ and such types talk about waco and ruby ridge that I’m growing mildly concerned… It’s almost like they’re okay with it as long as it’s a dickhead in power.
Why would they erase a Non Violent Tourist Visit that ANTIFA and BLM MADE Violent?
This is the question that everyone should be asking
