      I like the part where it’s like a zillion times more illegal than trying to overthrow democracy. The USA “justice system” is a joke.

        Most of the January 6th people seemed to get appropriate sentences for their involvement.

              Welcome to Lemmy, I see this is your first post. You must be unfamiliar with how we treat capitalists and right wing scum here.

                  No no, it’s different because white people are bad.

                  Wait did I say the quiet part out loud?

                I hope this is ironic. I use Lemmy because Reddit blocks mobile usage and there aren’t good clients available. Sick of having to wade through bullshit extremist takes like this on every thread.

                Sure I’m progressive, and despise the rioters, but calling for their deaths is insane. Nobody should support or advocate for state sponsored violence and execution. Ever.

                Texas is literally in the process of murdering an autistic man for false science. Constant extrajudicial killings defines our reckoning with policing. How idiotic and tone deaf do you have to be to call for an even more punitive system, and advocate for hangings of all things?

                They are getting multi year sentences in our torturous prisons, where upon release they will be marked with a felony charge and never able to work any good job or live any kind of good life again. That is sufficient, if not objectively excessive.

    Salamone tried to keep the lion’s share for himself and undid them all by recording the conversations. Conspiracies sure would be a lot more popular if everyone involved wasn’t a scumbag.

      I like what Robert Anton Wilson had to say about conspiracies and their life cycles:

      “[A]s far as I’ve been able to discover in all my years of being involved, more or less unwillingly, in this field, I cannot find any proof of any conspiracy that really existed, was really brought into court and convicted, that lasted more than ten years before everybody double-crossed everybody else and the conspiracy fell apart.”

        In fairness, there has to be some survivorship bias here: if the members of a conspiracy don’t double-cross each other and are competent enough not to expose themselves, it’s a lot less likely they’d ever get brought into court in the first place.

    Points for creativity, I guess? I’m pretty sure a Goldman Sachs analyst can figure out how to do it properly, though…
