My point is that you could say exactly the same about absolutely anything.

You'll find lots of others from the extreme right who agree with you when you say vaccines cause autism. When you say 5G causes Covid. When you say 9/11 was a Jewish conspiracy. When you say the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was forced at gunpoint to rape children. When you say Covid-19 testing sites are temples to Anubis. When you say lizard-people fly UFOs out of the hollow earth through a hole at Antarctica.

Saying there's nothing incongruous about an environmentalist being part of the extreme right Qanon is to say nothing, because there's nothing incongruous about anything being part of the extreme right Qanon.

The KKK was also pretty pro-Native American, for various reasons that are probably only* of academic interest.

*i.e. exactly the sort of thing you lot want to know. But you know how to Google.

Jamiroquai insurrectionist hasn't, according to his mum, eaten since Friday as... the food he's been given in detention isn't organic.

Next she'll be telling us he's not the messiah.

Also, a mob that size must surely be a superspreader event.

Sometimes, but they also sometimes targetted them, like when they went after the Lumbee in the 1950s in North Carolina. The Lumbee Tribe, many of them military veterans, ended up running them off with guns at the Battle of Hayes Pond.

No, this isn't some Nazi thing. Organic in America is different - standard food is so sh.t.

Nothing to do with Maga conspiracies. This is a country where people are used to govt/capitalists allowing water to be toxic and food to be packed with artificial chemicals. It's not much of a stretch to worry that a vial of vaccine will be made to the same standards. Many people across the political spectrum from fascist to new age come to similar conclusion - America doesn't give a damn about poisoning its citizens - and they've got some pretty good evidence in support.

Member of "the Squad, Ayanna Presley, went to her office and started barricading doors and found someone unknown (not apparently rioters) had ripped out the panic button unit!

Jim Clyburn has already said that the mob went for the unmarked office where he has been working rather than the one with his nameplate.

Jesus. We're living in an episode of 24.

Seems Ted Cruz's communications director can't cope with his sh.t any more and has resigned.

We warned you that this radical, right-wing influence found not only at USAFA, but tolerated or even endorsed by senior officers throughout the Air Force, caused a toxic leadership environment and eroded unit cohesion, good order, morale, and discipline. We constantly worried and warned that these seemingly (to some) innocuous events would lead to embarrassment for our Air Force Academy or worse — and that’s exactly what’s happened.
