The mob that rampaged the halls of Congress included infamous white supremacists and conspiracy theorists.
Thousands invaded the highest centers of power, and the first thing they did was take selfies and videos. They were making content as spoils to take back to the digital empires where they dwell.
Members of the mob also used a site called Dlive to livestream while they rampaged.
A coup with no plot, no end to achieve, no plan but to pose.
Ian, I have been been thinking about the Gram piece and wondering if sharing events is in fact fuelling things, even more so from abroad.
