Which historic event was the January 6th attack most comparable to?

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

I would say the Beerhall Putsch: a comically inept attempt to seize power that fell flat on its' face. But let's not forget what happened afterward: people laughed off the extremist authoritarian group's attempt but afterward they were able to recover and obtain dictatorial power in Germany. History rhymes but it doesn't repeat unless we learn from it. Now go talk about all the violence committed by groups like Antifa to like "totally own me" or whatever.

20 July 1944 (a little over a month after D-Day): Operation Valkyrie and the attempted assassination of Hitler.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY
July 20
1944
Assassination plot against Hitler fails

On July 20, 1944, Hitler cheats death as a bomb planted in a briefcase goes off, but fails to kill him.

High-ranking German officials had made up their minds that Hitler must die. He was leading Germany in a suicidal war on two fronts, and assassination was the only way to stop him. A coup d’etat would follow, and a new government in Berlin would save Germany from complete destruction at the hands of the Allies.

That was the plan. This was the reality: Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, chief of the army reserve, had been given the task of planting a bomb during a conference that was to be held at Berchtesgaden, but was later moved to Hitler’s “Wolf’s Lair, a command post at Rastenburg, Prussia. Stauffenberg planted the explosive in a briefcase, which he placed under a table, then left quickly. Hitler was studying a map of the Eastern Front as Colonel Heinz Brandt, trying to get a better look at the map, moved the briefcase out of place, farther away from where the Fuhrer was standing.

At 12:42 p. m. the bomb went off. When the smoke cleared, Hitler was wounded, charred, and even suffered the temporary paralysis of one arm—but he was very much alive. (He was even well enough to keep an appointment with Benito Mussolini that very afternoon. He gave Il Duce a tour of the bomb site.) Four others present died from their wounds.

As the bomb went off, Stauffenberg was making his way to Berlin to carry out Operation Valkyrie, the overthrow of the central government. In Berlin, he and co-conspirator General Olbricht arrested the commander of the reserve army, General Fromm, and began issuing orders for the commandeering of various government buildings. And then the news came through from Herman Goering—Hitler was alive.

Fromm, released from custody under the assumption he would nevertheless join the effort to throw Hitler out of office, turned on the conspirators. Stauffenberg and Olbricht were shot that same day. Once Hitler figured out the extent of the conspiracy (it reached all the way to occupied French), he began the systematic liquidation of his enemies. More than 7,000 Germans would be arrested (including evangelical pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer), and up to 5,000 would wind up dead—either executed or as suicides.

Hitler, Himmler, and Goering took an even firmer grip on Germany and its war machine. Hitler became convinced that fate had spared him—”I regard this as a confirmation of the task imposed upon me by Providence”—and that “nothing is going to happen to me… [T]he great cause which I serve will be brought through its present perils and…everything can be brought to a good end.”

Portland was the Reichstag fire. A white supremacists agent provocateur lit the fires while the police looked the other way as the criminals who attend EVERY PROTEST These days damaged property. without fox "news" I doubt anyone would have heard of BLM. At one point fix litteraly showed video if a soccer riot in Germany and told it's gullible brown shirt audience it was Portland. And they fell for it all hook line and sinker.

And while they had the military vs mom's with masks illegally used against the protests they allowed the Jan six coup attempt to happen with no response.

[Agape93]

Beer hall putsch. Both were attempted coups by right wing nationalists.

[Stoner710]

None of them Jan 6 was a bunch of idiots who stormed the capital and made a mess of Nancy Pelosi’s office that was it. The only person who was killed is Ashley Babbit. The BLM riots of 20202 is more comparable to these examples

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

BLM riots are comparable to the Antifa riots in Wiemar Germany.

[Stoner710]

True, Jan 6 wasn’t even comparable to those riots Jan 6 is completely over blown.

The Democratic are using it as an excuse to rig the election system so they stay in power so they can cram down there authoritarian mandates on the people

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

The GOP, not the DNC is an authoritarian party:

www.vox.com/.../republicans-supreme-court-gop-trump-authoritarian

And covid restrictions are no more authoritarian than an evacuation order during a hurricane is.

[Stoner710]

Even in hurricane situation people are allowed to stay if they don’t want to leave, Covid restrictions are more severe than hurricane evacuation orders.

Also if the GOP is authoritarian why is it the left trying to get rid of free speech (for example calling someone a Fag would be considered hate speech by the left) calling someone a fag is rude but it’s part of freedom of speech, Republicans want more speech. The DNC wants to take guns away authoritarian governments tend to want to want to Disarm the population so that they can’t fight back against their authoritarian mandates.

The idea of freedom and self government is you get to do pretty much what you, even the founders would have started a civil war if anything like the FDA or CDC was founded the idea that government gets this involved in people’s individual choices would be abhorrent to them and they probably would’ve started the Civil War back in 1900 because they would’ve considered the government in 1900 authoritarian even under TR

[888theGreat]

There were no fires and no looting , or killings other than one protester got shot by Democratic guard.

Pelosi was asked about additional security , but she said no because they wanted trouble so they could blame Trump and try to impeach him again.

[OddBeMe]

To Libs: it was a putsch. To conservs: a false flag.

But there’s a lot of Nazi comparisons with Trump and his legions. And while it’s arguably unfair, it’s correct in some analysis.
1) White people angry about changing economy and minorities.
2) Cult-like mentality
3) rabble rousing idiot with mental problems becomes their leader.

[Snakeyes7]

I think they were trying to go for the 1983 Capitol bombing.

Interestingly enough, one of the people involved in it, Susan Rosenberg, now has ties to BLM. How big of a tie she has, the left and right cannot agree on but neither can deny she is involved to some degree.

Make of that how you will.

[zagor]

The protesters were not nearly as organized as the group behind those events.

For a historical precedent, I'd say the release of "Dumb and Dumber".

[Still-alive]

A definitely. And if consequences don’t come for those responsible we may see a kristallnact take place in our future as well

[FunkyMonkee]

The Gulf Of Tonkin incident: It was al bullshit and completely staged to make it LOOK like something it wasn't.

[Seangreen]

Not even close to any of those it was a bunch of idiots probably paid to cause trouble cuz it looked good on the news

[disgustingweebtrash]

Do you think you could refer me for your company? I don't mind pushing an agenda I don't actually believe in if I profit from it.

[Reijen]

I'd say none of the options provided.
Only that Ashi woman died, and there was no fire at the capitol.

[QuietRunner]

More like the

1954 United States Capitol shooting

[youreanidiot2]

The Beerhall Putsch because it was almost the same thing, just a different pretense.

[EnglishEuropean]

I agree. And 11 years later Trump was Fuhrer.

Wait, did I say Trump? I meant Hitler.

[goaded]

A, but they were going for B.

[MountAverage]

It was an attempted option B.

[Dargil]

None of the above.

[Dargil]

It does parallel Civil Rights protests of the 60's.

[goaded]

Yes, fighting for the rights of the oppressed majority. Exactly the same.

[Still-alive]

Civil rights wanted equal rights fir everyone. The insurrectionists are just sore losers who couldnt accept their savior lost fair and square and thought they could take it by force. Huge difference

[Dargil]

@Still-alive Civil rights was striving for their fair treatment. The demonstrators were as well. The January 6 protest got out of hand as did civil rights demonstration in the past.

[Still-alive]

Theyate mot comparable, at all

[Dargil]

@Still-alive You don't want it to be.

[Still-alive]

Nah they just aren't objectively. The insurrectionists dont stand for anything but their own egos

[Dargil]

@Still-alive What about the Constitution and the rule of law. both of which the "vote counters" in the election violated?

[Still-alive]

oh you fell for the big lie too huh?

[Dargil]

@Still-alive That the election was not rigged or stolen by Democrats, no I did not fall for that.

[Still-alive]

oh you're one of those types. typical...

ill not engage with your dementia any further

[Dargil]

@Still-alive At my pleasure.

[exitseven]

Boston Tea Party

[Wise4myage]

None of the above.
