As much as I hate it, there’s currently still available a thread on Reddit that provides links to various archives of January 6th info/video/etc. I personally have the 1~ TB video archive data saved and mirrored on a couple of cold storage drives and I’d encourage anyone with the extra HDD space to grab as much as you can while it’s there.

I’ll admit I asked that question before looking at the list. After looking, it only further cemented my pre-conceived notion that the youtube release is absolute trash.

A mere 36 movies, and based on titles, most if not all readily available from higher quality sources. None of them seem particularly obscure, as I recognize several actors’ names and I’m not the type to care too much about who plays who.

I mean, hey, if youtube rips are your jam, go for it people. But for those looking for quality/obscurity, you’d probably have better luck elsewhere.

Is preserving the bitrate/quality of a youtube movie really that important? Did they upload anything not available in much, much better quality elsewhere?

I can say for certain that they dont. At least not all of the firearms. And “or else”? Really? Are you intending that to read as a threat, or merely a warning about said dumbfucks?

Because that sort of “threat” is a nice indicator of the type of person that shouldn’t have access to firearms.

Those dumbfucks are a vocal minority. We tend to forget that the internet is not necessarily representative of a population. So pretty much every “extreme” really ought to be taken with a grain of salt.

You’d think there’s enough global support that something might kick off elsewhere in the world. But those not having to deal directly with the nonsense going on in the US have the benefit of being able to sit back and spout off.

Sorry we’re not revolting fast enough. Kind of hard to do when things are generally equally split in the country, and the majority of folks need to keep going to work to keep food on the table.

Probably all as designed, but we’re all too damned tired and those doing things we don’t like know it.
