A few quick thoughts:
1) This was a coordinated, nationwide effort
2) This was a massive recruiting success for fascists in the US.
3) The international dimension of the rise of the fascists was on display with all the international flags being flown in the protests.
4) The police stood aside, let them in, didn't arrest but a dozen people. They helped them by inaction.

A Mass Base for Fascism?

Our full chronology and appraisal of the events of January 6 in Washington, DC.

As the Republican Party fractures, a new political center is emerging—albeit much further to the right—while some Trump supporters are embracing outright fascism.

This is the best analogy coming out of this whole ordeal.

America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, ‘It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.’ It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: ‘if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?’ There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register.

Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.
–Kurt Vonnegut, from Slaughterhouse-Five

We interrupt our comedy session to bring you a reminder to learn permaculture while the MAGAts and other rightoids are recovering from their humiliation. While they're huffing tank after tank of copium let's build a peasant food network. Here are three resources:

As an additional resource, here's a link to the appropriate technology wiki!

They're promoting another """""march""""" after having just attempted a coup that they programmed for weeks, and was facilitated both from the Pentagon and by the police that was there, and strongly encouraged by the Presidents and his closest allies, many of whom are now blaming leftists for what happened, even tho they bragged about it for weeks and many had fucking t-shirts with the date and everything.

Now, they're promoting it again for Jan 20, "for the purpose of preventing any attempt by the treasonous domestic enemy Joe Biden [which, I don't need to tell you, is officially the next president and the certification of the vote has happened because they managed to save the votes from being burned 2 days ago], or any other member of the Communist Organized Crime Organization [they're very organized, that we're sure of], also known as The Democratic Party, from entering the White House belonging to We The People [after they just entered, vandalized, destroyed and looted the Capitol, and made a fire in front of it].

In the eventh that justice is miraculously served and our Re-Elcted President DJT is sworn in [even if for the sake of argument we agreed with their election fraud bs which is completely fake, they literally can't do anything. The votes have been certified. They couldn't burn them]: the President, the capital and our national Monuments will be protected from the prevent-violent Leftist insurgents who have declared war against the USA and have been conducting an active insurrection in the USA"

THEY JUST FUCKING DID IT THEMSELVES, ALL OF IT. WHAT THE FUCK???

This has to be the most overt example of what I've always called "right-wing doublethinking" that I've ever seen. They write this stuff for the sake of narrative and then collectively convince themselves that this is true. I have no fucking words.

(I'm done with the posting today, in any case. Sorry for the spam)

This actually reminds me of something I think about a lot. In his work Ur Fascism, Umberto Eco argued the point that one of the main hallmarks of fascist ideology is cognitive dissonance. It's not surprising then that, when observing the American conservative movement, (which bears many similarities to past fascist movements) you see that it engages in these kinds of delusions. "The terrorists seeking to overturn a crucial function of American democracy were, in fact, patriots, but, of course, the violent actors were secretly leftist infiltrators and, by the way, us patriots are planning on doing this again." My take on these contradictory ideas is that, if you subscribe to the theory that main ideological sticking point of conservatism is the preservation of hierarchies, then reactionary uprising creates something of a paradox. Uprising, by nature, is a form of anti-hierarchal violence in that it creates conflict with established institutions, which, of course creates internal contradictions when used in a pro-hierarchy way. The only way for the conservative to uphold those beliefs, then, is to hold similarly contradictory understandings of such violence.
