It doesn't matter. If you march into the capitol, be prepared to seize power. If you aren't, stay home and do LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE. Caesar didn't cross the Rubicon in "peaceful protest", Sulla didn't march his legions into Rome to "protest unfair elections". If you're going to do something that could (even fleetingly) be considered a coup, go full-speed and full-force.
You're gonna pay the consequences either way if you fail, and you might as well get your buck's worth.
What doesn't matter? I don't think they were expecting to "march into the capitol" until the doors were magically opened for them when they then sauntered in. I doubt martyrdom was foremost on their minds. You have quite the dramatic flair, perhaps you should have been among them.
Intentions don't matter. And I'm not talking about martyrdom, I'm talking about appearances. You don't march in the capitol of a government that supposedly stole an election just for the sake of venting your frustrations. You either topple that government or you do nothing. When you throw a temper-tantrum with just enough bad optics to give that government an excuse to crack down, you've screwed yourself twice, not once.
Americans really are the most moronic people ever to have existed. This is Realpolitik 101.
Ever hear of a peaceful demonstration??? Does Ghandi ring a bell? MLK? How were they to topple a government wo weapons? That clearly wasn't their intention. At least they did SOMETHING. Some that were arrested WERE NOT EVEN THERE and they're still looking to arrest more!
Hindsight is always 20/20.
Assuming that you're not American then. That's why we became the greatest country ever. Troll.
"J6ers wanted to be martyrs"? That's a rather broad, presumptive statement and didn't appear to be that way to me.
