As President Trump is known to say, “don’t make it complicated.” Just look at things as they are, as they present themselves to be, and ask the most obvious questions.

Consider Antifa.​

How can a group within America openly threaten police, use violence against police, throw Molotov cocktails, bricks and explosive fireworks at police. Use batons, shields, bats and physical violence against police and federal law enforcement; destroy vehicles, set cars on fire, destroy property, trash and block the streets and create chaos…. Completely without being stopped?

It doesn’t matter where it is happening, that’s irrelevant. Think plainly and simply.

How does any individual or group get to do this without being arrested?

It doesn’t make sense… unless….

Didn't the 1/6 Seditionists use violence against police too?

lol

I've never been a fan of ANTIFA, I think that more often then not they're running about looking for fights. Protest is one thing, but assault is another. But it's pretty hypocritical of MAGA, particularly after Trump pardoned all the violent 1/6 mob, to pretend they give a shit about officer or law and order.

Since you deflected to 1/6, consider this...

The FBI didn't seem to have ANY problem locating and rounding up everyone who took part in that riot. Why can't they do it with Antifa?

Unless...

Unless they are cyber ninjas that discovered the ballot issue that made Trump the winner of the 2020 election!!!!

idk about you,
but the fact that two laypeople, you and I, are unable to come up a theory you like
about a process we both lack personal experience with
is as compelling of an argument as ever
that your CT is the only possible explanation

ymmv

Per conspiracy theories: “media paranoia”.
 
Consider Antifa.

The fat retard you voted into office is about to get us into total war with Iran and you're concerned about some smelly overeducated college students waving signs and using plastic shields?

How does MAGA continue to get away with making fun of left wing masculinity? This is embarrassing lmao

googlebot sez what?

Let me know if you see any differences between anarchists and Jan 6 rioters which might make it easier for cops to find the the Jan 5th people


AI Overview
Law enforcement faces unique challenges when dealing with individuals or groups who identify as anarchists, particularly those who engage in violence or criminal activity​
Anarchism is a belief system that advocates for a society without government, laws, or authority. While most anarchists seek non-violent change, a small minority believe violence and criminal acts are necessary to achieve their goals.​
Here are some key difficulties faced by law enforcement:
  • Decentralized Organization: Militant anarchists often organize in small, informal, and decentralized networks known as "affinity groups." These groups may form for a specific event or action and then quickly disband, making it difficult for law enforcement to track individuals and build cases.
  • "Hit and Run" Tactics: Some groups utilize "hit and run" tactics during protests or events, which can make it hard for police to identify and apprehend individuals in large crowds.
  • Reduced Intelligence Apparatus: Some reports suggest a decrease in the intelligence-gathering capabilities of police departments focused on tracking radical groups like militant anarchists. This can make it harder to anticipate and prevent violent actions.
  • Event-Driven Nature of Extremism: Anarchist extremists often gather at major events like political conventions or economic summits. This can increase the likelihood of confrontations and criminal activity during these events, putting a strain on law enforcement resources.
  • Focus on Symbols of Authority: Anarchist extremists frequently target symbols of government, corporations, and law enforcement agencies, such as police stations and financial institutions, which they see as representing the system they oppose. This necessitates proactive security measures and potentially heightened responses from law enforcement.
  • Difficulty Recruiting Sources: The decentralized nature and emphasis on anonymity within some anarchist groups can make it difficult for law enforcement agencies to recruit sources and gather intelligence.
However, it's important to note that:
  • Not all anarchists advocate for or engage in violence.
  • Law enforcement has had some success in prosecuting individuals involved in criminal activity related to anarchist extremism, including convictions since 1999.
  • The FBI and its partners work to detect and disrupt individuals and groups advocating for violence to advance an extremist ideology.
In essence, the decentralized and often informal nature of some anarchist groups, combined with their focus on symbolic targets and the use of "hit and run" tactics, presents a complex challenge for law enforcement agencies responsible for maintaining public order and safety.​

I'm not coming up with theories. I'm just asking questions.

Here's another one...

The FBI was able to infiltrate and take down a group who wanted to kill a Governor. Hell, did I just say infiltrate? No, they WERE the group. So, why can't the FBI infiltrate Antifa and take them down?
 
Consider this, the entire premise of this conspiracy theory is batshit crazy. And much too complicated as well.
 
I'm not coming up with theories. I'm just asking questions.
right. riiiight. that's the ticket

There's no hint that you're trying to imply the FBI is in on a CT.

You're "just asking questions" on a debate board instead of "doing your own research" because you're seeking information.

sure. sure.


So, why can't the FBI infiltrate Antifa and take them down?
Let me know if you see any differences between anarchists and would-be assassins which might make it easier for cops to find the the Jan 5th people

Ask the right ****ing questions.
Maybe MAGAs are just ****ing dumber than ANTIFA folk and went around posting their sedition on social media and bragging to people? Maybe law enforcement does go after rioters regardless of political affiliation and you're just making a dumb, partisan argument as per usual?

Those the right ****ing questions?

They are very dumb. They take pictures of themselves to post on social media like all dumb criminals do now. At least the internet has helped cut down on the dumbest ego driven criminals.

Rose City Antifa isn't small. In any event, the FBI is very good at infiltrating groups...even if they are small. There's nothing stopping them from infiltrating the Antifa groups in ANY city.

  • "Hit and Run" Tactics: Some groups utilize "hit and run" tactics during protests or events, which can make it hard for police to identify and apprehend individuals in large crowds.
We aren't talking about how the police react to Antifa tactics. We are talking about why the FBI hasn't shut them down.

  • Reduced Intelligence Apparatus: Some reports suggest a decrease in the intelligence-gathering capabilities of police departments focused on tracking radical groups like militant anarchists. This can make it harder to anticipate and prevent violent actions.
Again...it's not about the police. It's about the FBI...the best law enforcement agency in the entire world.

  • Event-Driven Nature of Extremism: Anarchist extremists often gather at major events like political conventions or economic summits. This can increase the likelihood of confrontations and criminal activity during these events, putting a strain on law enforcement resources.
Irrelevant. The question is why hasn't the FBI shut them down.

  • Focus on Symbols of Authority: Anarchist extremists frequently target symbols of government, corporations, and law enforcement agencies, such as police stations and financial institutions, which they see as representing the system they oppose. This necessitates proactive security measures and potentially heightened responses from law enforcement.
Again...irrelevant.

  • Difficulty Recruiting Sources: The decentralized nature and emphasis on anonymity within some anarchist groups can make it difficult for law enforcement agencies to recruit sources and gather intelligence.
The FBI is very good at what they do...if they want to do it.

However, it's important to note that:
  • Not all anarchists advocate for or engage in violence.
  • Law enforcement has had some success in prosecuting individuals involved in criminal activity related to anarchist extremism, including convictions since 1999.
  • The FBI and its partners work to detect and disrupt individuals and groups advocating for violence to advance an extremist ideology.

And this... 👆 is nothing but apologetic bullshit.

I mean, what did you expect from a thread that starts out with "the conservative treehouse"? 🤭

Garbage in / garbage out.
 
If you ACTUALLY believe this nonsense, wallowing in your complete manufactured victimhood, what does it say about MAGA 1/6ers that they're so easily manipulated into doing crimes by Antifa working with FBI 🤣🤣🤣 what happened to the party of personal responsibility?

No.

This isn't about MAGA. It's about Antifa.
 
No.

This isn't about MAGA. It's about Antifa.
Oh, so the "right ****ing questions" are only the questions you say are the "right ones". How MAGA of you.

shrug...

I started this thread and it's very clear what the topic is about. So yes.

And you said:

"The FBI didn't seem to have ANY problem locating and rounding up everyone who took part in that riot. Why can't they do it with Antifa?"

I gave you questions as to why that may be, but you want to say those aren't the right ones.

lol
