In regards to secession due to limiting the expansion of slavery , based on my readings it seems like slavery could only survive through expansion. Planter class families gobbled up so much land that it prevented others from establishing the large plantations needed to make good profits. I think if it had been restricted and it became obvious to the working class that they had no hope of becoming plantation owners, a small chance even during expansion, that support for it would have diminished greatly and may have ended by 1900 though that is still a far worse outcome than what actually happened.

The weirdest thing about the Capitol coup is not that it happened its more like how quickly people have moved on. While few americans were supporting such an action few were genuinely shocked like on 9/11 or JFK. Maybe because 2020 was so out there as a year most people were expecting it anyway. Some people have even commented 'if you're gonna storm the Capitol at least do it for a good reason'. To me this is far more ominous. This means that politicians in DC have become so distant from the public the idea of them getting killed in a coup is not by itself bad for most americans 'yeah they had it coming' seems to be the sentiment.

Good information young man! IF I wasn't on a fixed income i would send monetary support. I came across your site while researching specific information using the statement "the largest armed insurrection in US history", which I believe to be the United Mine Workers in west Virginia ending in 1920s. I was glad to hear your inclusion of the defacto fascist state of that period with a picture of then President Wilson. I applaud your efforts and have given a thumbs up as well as subscribed. Without the labor movement democracy would not exist as we know it today. I intend to start writing about history again, inspired in part by your excellent work, KZbin did not exist when I made my historical writing and community access tv productions about labor issues and history. Keep up the good work and keep banning bigotry and include fascist. In solidarity Richard T.

Having take the civil service oath, and having had to consult my conscience before doing so, to be sure I was swearing to protect the Constitution not a president nor an administration, I joined the Peace Corps. and took the oath. I have nothing but the greatest contempt for a legislator or government official who breaks that oath. The treason of a sitting president, had it prevailed would have compelled me to go to the barricades with you young people. Those who tried to overthrow the Constitution and the government established thereby must be arrested and tried for treason and upon conviction face the same penalty the traitors of the 1860s faced, this time with no pardons. This includes the Confederacy's second president, DJ Trump. Thanks for another interesting if a somewhat disturbing video.

[@jfmusicbox3477]

My great grandfather was Washington state republican senator Earnest Leneart, who served from 1943-1968. The day of the insurrection I called family members who knew him and his political views best. All had the same answer: He would’ve been outraged beyond belief and vote for the removal of the president. I should point out, he emigrated to the US from Sweden in 1910.

[@SunflowerSocialist]

For the sake of posterity, I decided today to write down where I was on January 6, 2021, because I was actually quite cut off from the internet that day. “January 6th 2021 was a different day for me. The day before was my first day at my new job in Topeka, working as a Labor organizer for AFT-Kansas. That day I was begging the moving process into my new apartment in Topeka. I drove from my parents house in Kansas City, but was too early to start moving in, so I went to the office to drop some things off there and check my email. Then I went to finish my paperwork, arrived at my new apartment, and after that I was more or less isolated from the news. All I was concerned about was getting my stuff moved in, my new apartment cleaned and getting the power and water accounts set up, not to mention the ordeal of getting my Internet ordered. I spent most of that day waiting for the repair man to come and fix the lock on my door, because the key kept failing to work, meaning I couldn’t leave the apartment. And without wifi, I was more or less cut off from the world. But I was only a few miles away from the State Capitol. I could actually see the dome from my front door. It wasn’t until my Mom called me that afternoon, concerned about where I was after hearing that there had been violence at the US Capitol, and allegedly violence in Topeka as well. I hadn’t heard anything, but I called my new boss at the office, which is down the street from the dome, just to make sure nothing had happened there. Thankfully it was mostly quiet apart from a protest in Topeka, but the MAGA Chuds had a permit to be both inside and outside the building. After I got my lock fixed, my dishes unpacked and everything else I’d brought moved in, I went back to the office to pick up the stuff I’d dropped off there, and took a detour to drive by the Capitol. The crowd was thinning out by then, but I did see someone had erected gallows complete with a noose on the lawn of the building. It wasn’t until I got to the office that I learned what had really happened in DC and saw the pictures, and over the next few days came to grips with what had happened. I couldn’t help but think of Mussolini’s March on Rome and it reminded me that in the coming years, the fight against reaction would not let up for us on the left.”

[@twig8523]

I appreciate you making this video, but I have to "tap out" early. The history, context, insight, & analysis are all so very valuable. I have to turn away from learning so much more about insurrection & the failure of American democracy. Please believe me when I say thisis not out of a willful desire for ignorance, but it's instead exhaustion at being so thoroughly saturated in the maddening understanding of it all. Thank you, Cipher. I am very grateful for the important work that you do. ✊😔

[@Sarahmint]

This should be interesting especially since most people who went to see Trump speak at the capitol didn't know what happened until they went back to their hotels, especially because their service wouldn't let them livestream or get a wi-fi signal, so they had to film and upload it the the internet later.

Speaking of your next series. Im curious if there is anything to be said about the modern usage of the word "neoliberal" like we see on the subreddit and such. It seems to be more about projecting american power, advancing globalism with the US at the head, and discouraging populist movements such as the one which lead to the Jan 6 insurrection. Most of our modern leaders from Reagan to Obama fall under this usage and someone like Trump is the antithesis. Its very different from the more classical usage of the word and what you find when you look at an economics dictionary. When someone today says they are a neoliberal it seems to mean something very different. Also look at the neoliberal project as an example for a modern push of that agenda.

*Coup Review 2021* They showed up dressed for a game of paintball, wandering around the Capitol building like deer in the headlights with their hands full of incriminating evidence, the well-coordinated effort of diversionary bomb threats and simultaneous surges at the police barricades giving way to the reality that their attempts at tradecraft mean fuck-all once they've entered the highly-dynamic environment of a large, occupied interior full of people who have regular practice drills for just the type of shit they're trying to pull. There was definitely some undercurrent that planned to use the largely-oblivious crowds as both a bull in a China shop and as concealment for whatever else they'd hoped to do once they got inside, but it was like they honestly didn't see themselves getting that far and had no clue what do do next despite taking the time to prepare restraints and devise a plan to breach the building by tying up police resources and spreading them thin. How do you plan just half of an insurrection? This is a weird one, because while I can definitely see some coup-ish intent at play it's hard to see what a positive outcome for the planners would even look like given the context of the event. The government isn't structured on King of the Hill rules. This was too incompetent to truly call a coup attempt, it was more like a "coup aspiration." A revolutionary macaroni sculpture, if you will. They flew too close to the sun, aiming for Lexington and Concord but landing in the Bay of Pigs by mistake. 2/10 - Shameful Display.
