The words I'm hearing being thrown around repeatedly like "insurrection" and "stormed the capital" are ridiculous when you watch the videos. It's like 200 people who were let in, who walked around taking selfies and waving flags mostly.

And it's especially hard to listen to it come from the same people who have been cheering BLM destroying cities, suddenly are super law-and-order because someone they disagree with was doing something similar.

The hypocrisy I'm seeing from people, both on the left and the right, is just stunning. It's like everyone thinks they're pulling a fast one on everyone else, but really they're like a kindergartner telling an obvious lie who thinks they're getting away with it. It's so transparent. Yet everyone keeps pretending, out of fear I suppose. I think everyone is just afraid to be "on the wrong side" so they don't really have any opinions, they just echo the opinions of the day from the group, which is now led by the pied piper of corporate-owned media.

The media is so exhausting these days. Everything is turned up 11, all the time. Psychological warfare and narrative framing that never ends. Seems like the only solution is to walk away. The only winning move is not to play.

I don't know which is more atrocious : The videos of people climbing thru broken windows or this 'welcome tourists' video. Both sides against the middle indeed.
