But seriously, how is mounting an insurection a slippery slope? At this point I get the feeling that a lot of people posting here are apologists for domestic terrorism and it worries me.
There are violent people and they think like Timothy McVeigh. That should worry you. It should worry you even more if they can find like-minded friends like Terry Nichols on cesspools like Parler.
What a great way to shut down any discussion. Anyone who doesn’t agree must be terrorist apologists?
If you read these comments and all you can see in anyone not posting full throated praises of this purge are people defending terrorists, consider taking a break from the discussion and come back when you’re ready.
Maybe easier for you to dismiss concerns your fellow technologists might have, when Big Tech's largest companies unite to completely destroy a competitor with millions of users in a single day, based on the actions of a tiny sliver of its users.
"What's the difference?" you ask, I assume non-ironically.
I wonder, let's say if a politician started a fund to bail out the arrested protesters, would you consider them complicit in the violence?
And, yes, if a politician started a fund to bail out these fascist protestors, they would be complicit.
It’s about violence. And that bail fund? That was Kamala Harris.
> Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. [0]
This is what Trump wants. This is why he's tried to overturn a democratically held election. This is why he's incited his followers to riot.
You seem to be assuming I'm a Democrat. I am not.
BTW, I love how you've disingenuously implied Harris funded bail for the DC protesters. She did not. It was for the BLM protestors, who, are clearly not fascist, if you look at the definition.

You want to make it solely about the right, and the term fascist is thrown around against many on the right regardless of how non-fascist they may be, often times immediately followed by violently attacking them on the street.
I didn’t say Harris funded bail for the DC protestors on the 6th.
In fact, Harris funded bail for rioters who were much more violent than what we saw on the 6th. The BLM riots caused over $2 billion in property damage, killed dozen of people, and maimed hundreds. Police officers, and Federal courthouses were a notable target. Also the Whitehouse on at least one occasion.

And, for that, I give her credit.
While the casualties are regrettable, I'm not sure why you even mention them here.
Property damage? Pffft. Who cares? That's what insurance is for.
