Stunt_enby was using the not actually asked question of what treason is to make a point. The point was: Saying something is bad because it's treason is like saying is bad because it's illegal. There's lots of things that have been or are currently treason that are actually good and cool. The attempted insurrection was bad because it was a bunch of far right fascists trying to install a dictator. That that happens to be treason is not really relevant to the statement "that's bad". So anyone who looks at this and goes no deeper than "treason bad" is probably not filled with insightful information.

e: but it's a bit of a non sequitur and not really applicable in the context of a zoomer mocking their friend for committing treason on a whim

I mean, I'm not sold on the angle of "what you did is bad because it's embarrassing" either

I thought that at first but while he implies that (so that his fans will read it and parrot "Tunnels would cut emissions!") what he actually says is that cars stuck in traffic produce emissions, and that his tunnels would mean they werent stuck in traffic, so would produce fewer emissions, which is technically true, if we a) ignore the pollution created drilling these tunnels and b) accept that these tunnels would work like he claims they would and reduce congestion. Which they absolutely would not. I mean, if he was just talking about adding a subway, sure, I can see it (though probably not in miami, and also extremely reminiscent of that "every few years a tech guy accidently reinvents the concept of public transport" tweet) but from memory his concept for the tunnels is either "its basically an underground road" or "its an underground road but you have to drive your car onto a little single car carriage thing which carries you along rather than driving on it yourself". Both of which are loving Stupid.

Yeah like what the gently caress.

It’s hard to imagine a place with worse geology for tunnelling than Miami.

It’s not even that simple. Traffic increases emissions from plain ICE vehicles, but hybrids and BEVs come out slightly ahead due to the lower speeds.

The Underground Railroad.

PBS article posted:

The Railroad’s expansion did not occur until after 1850, following the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act. But very few people, relatively speaking, engaged in its activities. After all, it was illegal to assist slaves escaping to their freedom. Violating the 1850 Act could lead to charges of “constructive treason.”

It's pounded into our brains through all of grade school that the treasonous war we fought to throw off British rule is 100% cool and good, anyone who fought on our side is a demigod whose words are the only thing that should ever determine our system of government, and if you disagree with any of that or suggest any of those demigods were in any way flawed you are not AmericanTM :911:.

A swift and brutal purge (e.g. the typical communist purge) would pierce the illusion of legitimacy, without which, the Apex Players would be finished.

It would forfeit the moral high ground. Then the armed citizenry and the military would balk.

Hence America languishes under this flatter bell curve that has yet to peak after decades of cultivation, but bits are now coming into focus for even those most in thrall to normalcy bias.

It goes so far beyond how Twitter just removed 18% of those following me and 25% of those I was following. It just wasn't as visible before, but the true agenda of 2020 is now pretty transparent in hindsight.

The subtext is thus more relevant than the pretext.

Flatten the Curve = Flatten the Purge
