Definitively putting the lie to all the Democrat bullshit about how January 6 was a violent insurrection on the disastrous scale of 9/11, the newly released J6 footage is actually boring, and that's newsworthy. Turns out the right was right again about what really went down, and conservatives are probably also right about the presence, in the crowd that day, of federal agents acting as provocateurs to incite the little bursts of violence that did occur on that day. It's frustrating to endure gaslighting and to know you've been right the whole time.

Even bigger than the lie that was told was the advanced planning and organization required to orchestrate this faux insurrection. It's scary to see our government's unrestrained attack on liberty exposed.
ReplyDeleteKevin,
ReplyDeleteThe video footage will show what a person wants it to show. There are 40,000 hours of it!!!
If a person wants to find a video clip of people walking calmly around to "prove" their case, they will find it.
If a person wants to find a video clip of people acting like idiots and destroying stuff to "prove" their case, they will find it.
The video will not change anybody's mind.
Kind of like the Bible. It can be cherry picked to say what a person wants it to say. LOL

Brian,
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess you didn't watch the video I embedded. The guy makes some specific points about specific claims from the right—not just a vague claim that things were "mostly nonviolent," but, for example, that officers actively welcomed people into the Capitol—a claim that was pooh-poohed by the left in its fanatical attempt to insist the whole thing was a violent riot on the order of the leftist burning of sections of US cities (or "mostly peaceful protests," as CNN lamely put it). January 6, even at its most hectic, certainly wasn't anywhere near what the left did during the BLM (etc.) riots.
You also seem to be assuming a moral relativism that neither of us can justify since we haven't seen all 40,000 hours of footage. Will a thorough investigation in fact reveal equal amounts of video showing violence and peaceful conduct? Personally, I doubt it.
At a guess, I think the video will show the objective truth that whatever violence occurred was sporadic, and that the majority of human activity that day was perfectly peaceful. So after all the video is watched and analyzed, I would bet (if I were a betting man) that less than 1% will be violent footage, and over 99% will be peaceful. No amount of cherry-picking will refute that.
In a fair world, that preponderance of peaceful footage would be evidence enough that what happened that day was a mild expression of frustration, not a full-on insurrection. The left does like to project its own motives and actions onto the right, and I agree with those who say the real insurrection occurred on Election Day 2020. Biden campaigns from his basement, draws anemic crowds when he does come out, and somehow gets 81 million votes, many of which suddenly and miraculously appear after 3 a.m.? Please. "That's 81 million people who really hated Trump." Really? Again, spare me.
I think the right is ultimately going to be proven right about this vote-fraud subterfuge as well, just as it has with almost everything dismissed as a "conspiracy theory" over the past few years. The evidence continues to leak out, and certain lefties will stubbornly continue to try to explain it away.
ADDENDUM:
ReplyDeleteThat said, I do agree with this:
The video will not change anybody's mind.
Psychology calls this the backfire effect, and I'm willing to admit it affects both sides. But objectively speaking, one side has been doing way more gaslighting than the other lately.
