They discuss how surveillance and payment-processor deplatforming infrastructure is already built, then mock January 6th and modern protest movements as clownish compared to real historical revolutionary activity, comparing it to Trotsky photocopying his ass.
- Tim's concern about vaccine passport architecture already being technologically feasible through phones, payment processors, and the ability to kick people off the internet.
- The window for meaningful action on issues like this probably closed about twenty years ago, similar to climate change.
- A revolution in this country would look like a guy in a Viking helmet taking selfies in Congress for his Facebook profile picture.
- January 6th represents the most revolutionary activity Americans are likely to see—adults in costumes taking photos of themselves.
- Misinformation and the real yahoos attracted by false claims like Stop the Steal poison the possibility of any credible uprising.
- The last actual terrorist attacks—Boston Marathon, 9/11, Oklahoma City—all involved the FBI having extensive surveillance and infiltration of the perpetrators.
- Even militant groups and white supremacists seem more clownish now than they used to, despite the increasingly weird and bad discourse.
- Everything feels more clownish because it's dawning on people that things don't get better anymore.
