On January 6, 2021, a day that shall live in infamy, we witnessed on TV and many subsequent videos online, thugs breaking windows at the federal Capitol and desecrating the federal Capitol building by doing their business on the beautiful multi-color tile floor in the name of fascism, which they called patriotism. The federal Capitol building, which houses Congress, is both a gorgeous art museum and an architectural heritage site which became evident to all from the many videos and photos. That anyone could even think to attack it means we live in a profoundly backward, uncultured society. Our local public buildings are usually not so gorgeous, but we pay for them with our tax dollars, the same as we pay for the Capitol, and they should never be attacked by anyone. If you have so much energy, you should feed the hungry, house the homeless and educate the children who have difficulty learning online and are now failing in school.
The suspect was hit and pronounced dead at the scene.
2) It's quite dangerous to assert that most anti-state vandalism is done by agent provocateurs while providing zero evidence. That's serious COINTELPRO to snitch jacket people without proof and stir up unfounded paranoia within movements. Makes one question your agenda here.
3) Want a better comparison with January 6? Well, the MAGA insurrectionists did what they did based on all sorts of crazy and false conspiracy theories. Then, after it happened, many right-wingers tried to disassociate themselves from the insurrection by asserting that the Capitol attack was an antifa false flag operation, while still supporting its goal of overthrowing the election.
