I think it's important to correct misinformation on such important topics. Many people point to these wrong facts as evidence that things aren't that bad - which makes it even more important to correct things, as this apparently was an important factor in their previous assessment.

Why are you asking me this question on a completely unrelated comment? Since my comment didn't touch on this subject at all, and since it's much faster to look this up yourself than to ask me, you must have some specific reason to ask me. What is it?



Why unrelated? I'm arguing that whatever happened on Jan6 was not an insurrection, this is based on the mostly peaceful manner of the protest and behaviour of the perpetrators. I watched it all live as it happened, including that QAnon Shaman walking in the chambers and calmly blessing the security who just let him pass.

Now, you are saying that it is an insurrection, which is a gravely serious crime, and you have zillion reasons to prove that it was.

Consequently, I'm asking you: who was charged with insurrection? You can't have an insurrection without insurrectionists, right?


Again: why are you asking me this on an unrelated comment? I didn't tell you that an insurrection happened or did not happen, I told you that you were sharing misinformation when you said that the crowd "inconveniently forgot to take their guns with them when they decided to go and overthrow the government".

If you want to discuss points I've made somewhere else, please do so as replies to those comments. Also, if you have an argument to make, just make it - everything else unnecessarily draws out the discussion and makes your point appear weaker.


Ok, I am happy that you agree that there was no insurrection.

Regarding your point, formally even two provocators with a gun would qualify as "there were people carrying firearms", but this is obvious misdirection and demagoguery, if we're talking about insurrection, which did not happen, as you agreed, and further proven by the fact that the vast majority of protesters were unarmed.

Regarding your other point, "that you are just fighting the spread of information", it is rather obvious, that the intent of my original comment was extreme scepticism directed about nonsense insurrection claims. And my position is very well supported by the fact that there were no people actually charged with insurrection.

This is my final message in this discussion, thank you for participating.


Where did I agree to anything? You're either not reading my messages correctly, or you're playing pre-programmed messages. Neither are part of an honest discussion.
