It's not like Jan 6 2021 was a successful coup either tho?

We're not at the end of the timeline at which that's determined completely yet.

Frankly, the American Civil War isn't really even completely settled yet.

The first shot was fired today against the oligarchs. Well, they started it with all the killing of innocent sick people but the first bullet was fired today.

He got shot for denying poor people their shots.

Is South Korea? It was days ago. Hard to say what the future will hold. The Jan 6th comparison is apt, I think.

Usually when you fail a coup you are dead, not re-elected.

Kinda crazy that Hitler was put in jail for his coup attempt, while Trump evaded any and all consequences from his. Not that it stopped Hitler from rising to power...

But, while not directly comparable, it's in a way ironic that Hitler seemingly faced harsher consequences than Trump, even though Hitler's time in prison wasn't exactly tough for him.

Hitler also did not win a popular election to get elected, nor did the Nazi party win a majority of seats in Parliament. The liberals in power could have formed a coalition government with the communists but refused

What were their goals again? And did their goals get fulfilled?

Letting the morons being ridiculous, accomplish nothing and then slowly throwing all of them to jail, not to create martyrs, was actually the best move.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The best move was from the officer who shot one of those terrorists. It's been nothing but kid gloves prior or since.

Hearing Lemmy support a cop shooting someone is not what I was expecting today

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago
