[FRIAM] Fallback in barbarism

[Marcus Daniels]

It is like the feral children of the in-law relatives that misbehave at a work social event.   Oh god…  Not them, again.
Someone lock them in the minivan.

I must say the images from CNN which we receive here in Europe are a bit disturbing. The mob that stormed the heart of American democracy felt like anarchy, like a fallback in barbaric ancient times - the time of Barbarians vs Romans or even the stone age. It is like Neanderthals found a way to use a time machine to travel into the 21st century: one guy was dressed in fur pelts and was holding a wooden stick like a wizard from Lord of the Rings, and one half-naked guy was wearing furs and horns (the one known as "Q shaman"). Long-haired bearded guys have been looting stuff like cavemen - in the center of Washington D.C.!

How is this possible in the oldest democracy of the world?
