Watching the day’s events, all I could think of were the energy knobs you wrote about. The energy necessary is non-existent. A dog chasing a car that wouldn’t know what to do with it if he caught it.

I actually, for the first time in a while, disagree. Not with the analysis that the Qapitol Stormers were serious examples of the dog that caught the car, but with the implication that this was a useless endeavour. What I saw yesterday was a Green Peace moment. While our plucky heroes had no chance of saving the republic, just like the unwashed Quakers and Hippies of GreenPeace had no chance or even any real understanding of "Saving the Whales", what they did do was mainline on some pure, unadulterated, raw POWER. Hundreds of thousands of right wingers now know what it is like to have their own Greta Thunberg march into the UN and (pointlessly) yell "How Dare You!". Many now will certainly be hooked. And a powerful movement absolutely requires some power addicts in order to function.
