It honestly shocks me how stupid people are. There was just a case in the news about some guys that were busted while planning an attack on the White House UFC thing recently. They had initiated contact about this on tiktok (before moving to signal). One of the guys had posted photos on instagram of training with one of the others. The first guy that was busted had been reported by his parents, who he lived with, because they had overheard phone conversations that made them worried. They had anlso noticed he had begun stockpiling weapons, ammo, and other gear. All of them had quit their job to make time for the planning + attack.

Like, I'm glad these people were caught so that a bunch of innocents weren't killed. What baffles me is how intensely stupid it's possible to get. What would make anyone even consider communicating about this kind of stuff on a digital platform? How does anyone think it's a good idea to suddenly start stockpiling weapons in broad daylight? In what world do you document this training online? Why in gods name would you quit your job out of the blue while doing all the above?

We're just lucky these people are so stupid....

I suspected it was that. I haven't made it past more than a few episodes years ago, but it had really high ratings.
