To clarify, I'm not defending Parler nor wishing for it to stay online. I'm just calling for the root cause of this incident to be eliminated which is the unhealthy business model of pitting people against each other. This would include Parler but also Facebook and all these social media platforms.

At the moment, Parler is used as a scapegoat to deflect the liability off the catalyst (if not the instigator itself) of the Capitol storming.

Whether you still think my position is BS after this is up to you.
