In communist countries, they encouraged children to snitch out their family. It's bad enough thinking of your neighbors ratting you out. The teen set up a go fund me page and has raised 40 thousand dollars.

Who would betray their own family?

Society has gone down hill. Are we close to a total authoritarian society?

The attack on conservatives is obvious. censorship online from social media is out of hand. I watched an interview with a someone from parler who said the government is instructing big tech on what to do. so if you think you can say it's ok for what big tech is doing because they are a private company that is not the case if Congress is using big tech monopolies to do their dirty work. multiple states have sued amazon for being a monopoly.

All these big tech companies drop parler at the same time. it's definitely collusion.

I would say the united states is a fascist country with corporations being in bed with the government. The children are already brainwashed. It's scary times.
Obama told kids they were smarter than their parents. Colleges are infested with commie professors who reeducate our kids and reinforce what Obama said. All communist techniques. This is why people are turning away from public education.

People turn in family members who commit crimes all the time. It's always been that way. Not everybody, but some. I had a friend who was murdered back in the 80s. The boy who did it was bragging about it, his grandmother heard him, and turned him in. That's as it should be.

The bolded is the key, at some point Big Tech climbed into bed with the Dems primarily, but with government in general.

Colleges and universities have been pumping far left crap into kids heads for decades now.

There's even a name for them - "dindos". He dindo nuffin.

Why is this different? Why is it more treacherous for a teenage daughter to report the criminality of her family, than for parents to call the cops on the criminality of their sons?
I was just about to say this. Lots of people face this choice every day, and plenty turn their family members in to law enforcement when they discover that their family member was part of a crime. Plenty of black families that reside in crime ridden neighborhoods have had to make this difficult choice every day, and many of them do comply with law enforcement and turn in family.

Are you people advocating for “snitches get stitches”?

Somehow, I didn’t see Trump supporters on CD agreeing with Chief Keef, but here we are.

There's a difference between loyalty and blind loyalty.

I'm loyal to my family and my friends. But not blindly so. When they **** up, I'll call them out on it.

They were there to stop the certification of the election and keep T**** in power. They were looking for Pence and Pelosi and had zip tie handcuffs and a gallows outside. They broke down the doors, smashed the windows, killed a cop, beat a few more, and smeared excrement through the building. This was not a middle school class on a field trip, and it is entirely disingenuous to characterize them as such. These were violent domestic terrorists on a mission at the urging of their Great Orange Lord to destroy the government.

Fortunately all of them will soon be in prison with their leader, where they belong.

They join a protest?

That is what you are going to ruin their lives for?

Mob mentality is not the same as individual decision making, they didn't try to kill people.

And Storming the capitol building is not an insurrection, it is a form of protest common in free countries.
