Hard to confirm at the moment with Parler gone, but all the stories I've found seem to indicate he was mostly active on Twitter.
I think a more interesting (and neutral) approach for Greenwald to take would be to show that all of these prominent figures were most likely active on ALL social media platforms, yet only Parler has been singled out.
Glenn is hiding behind the "were arrested" phrasing, so despite the fact that baked alaska has a parler account and was literally livestreaming from the capital he doesn't count in Glenn's opinion as he hasn't been arrested yet.
What Glenn is saying is technically true, but also complete garbage. It's meant to fool people who can't do the minimum levels of research.
Ah yes, good point. I mentioned that elsewhere in the thread… but I guess I forgot when I started doing my own research, because the notion that you could livestream your participation in a terrorist attack at the Capitol and not get arrested immediately is absolutely bananas.
Also, here are some screen grabs of Kevin Greeson, who likely would have been arrested, but had a heart attack from what I have heard termed "insurrectionary excitement"
Also what does it matter if Jan 6 was not planned on parler? Jan 17th and inauguration shenanigans were being planned there until the site got yanked.
Hard to tell now that it’s down. But I find it pretty hard to trust him on this. One, it’s been fairly well documented that people were organizing the attack on Parler [1]. And two, as I mentioned elsewhere in the thread, there’s the obvious loophole that many who participated in the attack simply haven’t been arrested at all.
Tell that to my favorite ice cream shop that was smashed to bits on Melrose. Or the synagogues on Fairfax that were defiled. Or the vehicles all over DTLA that were set on fire. Or the man who died of smoke inhalation in a Minneapolis shop because he couldn't escape the flames.
At least 19 people died last summer. Don't downplay it.
You can state this opinion as fact but I think it is important to acknowledge that many people experienced the events of last summer in a way that makes it quite comparable to them.
This isn't hard. The majority of people arrested had Parler accounts -- it's everywhere.
