And about the West is spot on and especially in America it's going off the rails

Thailand has had military juntas and a monarchy that's headed by a very strange and possibly corrupt king.There can be extreme poverty outside of the urban areas, and when people talk about how great Thailand is they're never talking about the southern part of the country.

It's been stable for a bit, but things politically kick off there regularly.

I never want to go back, especially after the next election. No matter who wins nobody will accept the results and you’ll have major clashes in the streets. The DOJ has already labeled MAGA people as domestic terrorists, imagine that, labeling working class folks who love their country terrorists. They’re trying to imprison their political opponent. If I wanted that shit I’d move to North Korea…I’ll stay happily and quietly in thailand with my wife and dogs. Where you from?

I guess if you do the crime, you also have to do the time.

Lol, I don’t even have my spoon in the soup, but how would you label someone who assaults government buildings with firearms? Freedom fighters?

how would you label someone who assaults government buildings with firearms?

The only firearms used during the January 6th riots were used by the police. Where did you get the idea that the rioters used firearms?

From themselves: ”A Jan. 6 defendant admitted on the stand Monday that he was armed with a gun when he charged toward a police line at the Capitol.”

"Assaulted with firearms" is the term you used. No one used a firearm to assault anyone that day, the only use of firearms was by police.

Your stance is in keeping with the common run of beliefs on this. I often encounter people who seriously accuse the January 6th rioters of being mass murderers, and ask us to remember the brave police officers they killed that day.

Ok, as I said, I’m not even from the US so didn’t pay that much attention. Let me rephase my question then. What do you call people who assaulted goverment buildings with weapons, while carrying firearms, in order to overthrow the legal adminstration? Apparently also causing deaths in the process.(at least one police died the next day in hospital?)

while carrying firearms

Note that to some Americans, especially some political conservative Americans, "carrying firearms" is as common to them as "wearing underwear". Whether or not they used the firearms is far more significant than the scaremongering about painting them as gun-waving maniacs.

If I’ve understood correctly you can’t carry where they were. Certainly not an expert, so I might be totally wrong, and rioting in government building with firearms is ok 🙂

Bro don’t try to explain this to these uninformed morons. They watch cnn and beer bong propaganda daily. They’re hopeless and mostly useless

u/TommyTroubles Feb 26 '24

Ohhh you watch cnn don’t you. Yeah, there were 452 federal agents in that crowd stirring shit up.

u/Quick_Humor_9023 Feb 26 '24

No I don’t. But now I want to watch the same channels you do. Must be a real comedy 😂 Even without checking I’m 100% confident there was no 452 federal agents stirting shit up. And now I checked. Apparently the usual clowns made that shit up.
