I hope you are right. What if people start organizing on twitter and start doing actions in real life?
Its what happened in the past, the present, and will probably be in the future.

I mean January 6 did not happen simply out of coincidence, it was organized via social media sites. The only difference is how you approach the event. You take your information, plan ahead and ensure there will be no issue presented from it, or you intentionally give it the most ignorance possible. The outcomes of these can be again, exampled by events such as the Storm Area 51 event, and January 6 on the scare of how much/little the actions were presented by the government involved in the matters.

That pretty much goes for any argument about January 6, to say that the security was lacking for the event would be a factual understatement, and probably intentional given that the amount of force present for when Storm Area 51 was the same government, and had put so much effort into counter defense even outright telling people that death by being shot is within their right of doing so there if they cross any boundaries, ensuring that the event never became anything more than a joke and a party. Two similar scenarios given two very different priorities of force and security with two very different outcomes. They had the opportunity to stomp out the crowds for Jan 6 if they wanted to, but chose not to for clear reasons.

Simply said its about responding counter force. If you don't treat it like a big deal, people will take advantage of the situation. If you take a situation very seriously though, then people will actually be scared to actually do anything more than the bare minimum.
