Although that relationship quickly soured by the 1950s, when it became apparent that the vatican's secrets were harder to keep quiet than CIA secrets. fast forward a few decades and we learn that the CIA's bank is the streets of america, where they peddle their coke and dope to fund operations. It wasn't just iran-contra where they did that shit.

imagine things being that bad inside any organization.

but the jan 6th "insurrectionists" were basically a bunch of unarmed drunk/insane rednecks who temporarily entered a building that technically belongs to them.

worst show of force i've ever seen in the history of volatile politics.

then the US gov't gets all red in the face about this supposed breach of democracy, and spends hundreds of millions chasing down the ghosts of insane rednecks, all for publicity.

meanwhile, thousands of french people riot and burn shit basically just because they aren't happy with changes Macron made to their pension system, which can't pay for itself in the present.

ITS ALL THEATRE PEOPLE, WAKE UP

ITS THEATRE.

Just because it was poorly executed doesn't make it not a coup. Just because there are theatrics involved in the committee does not make incarceration any less real.

They're collectively lucky they are alive, in historical terms.

You need to expand your definition of "theatre", you were once an actor yourself, supposedly.

I wish Americans were more like the French, we should have been in the streets years ago.

if you really think jan 6th was a genuine attempt at a coup, then you are selling yourself short by not learning any world history, like at all.

if an organized militia force were to try to hold a gov't building in DC other than the white house or pentagon, they would absolutely 100% succeed. Nobody in DC is prepared for 500 well armed and trained insurgents. This is why Biden had 3 layers of fencing and 25,000 national guard for a year after the jan 6th "Party"

'Bad' personal advice can be 'good' societal advice.
