In this episode, Josh and Ian discuss the pro-Trump riots at the U.S. Capitol, during the attempt to confirm Biden's Electoral College win. They talk about social media dieting, the Georgia run-off elections, rioters breaking into the capitol building, comparisons between left-wing and right-wing protesting or rioting, justifying hypocrisy, what constitutes Americanism, the potential 'failure' of democracy, the potential of Vice President Mike Pence invoking the 25th amendment and the attempted removal of President Trump, the growing problem of polarization, how philosophical ideology informs political movements, people's loss of individuality during the riots, the parallels between how conspiracies spread and the size of civilization, the future of the Republican party, and various other topics.Follow them on Twitter at:Josh @Simpsonj423Ian @modernovermanand the podcast @NBSPodcast1Website: https://www.necessarybspod.com/Links:The Capitol Attack AftermathFacial recognition firm claims antifa infiltrated Trump protesters who stormed CapitolWashington Times corrects widely cited story claiming 'antifa' infiltrated Capitol siege, says 'neo-Nazis' ID'dDemocrats take control of the SenateUS Capitol's last breach was more than 200 years agoWhy People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our TimeRecorded 6 January 2021Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/nbsproductions)
