I don't think the ROCEJ thing is the main issue. The issue is whether the imagery of a mob outside the Capitol building is specific enough to relate to the January 6th incident.

v Yeah, doesn't help that only one other person responded with a vague "Obvious ROCEJ is obvious" comment (and clearly it's not that obvious) before the topic switched to another example. I'm not thrilled with how fast the Hindsight thread moves at times (though I'm guilty of ignoring earlier posts to post my own entries too).

Edited by mightymewtron I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

The edit reason being so terse really doesn't help. Just saying "ROCEJ" isn't helpful especially if you had already taken it to the thread. To be honest it comes across as someone deleting something and shutting down discussion just by playing the ROCEJ card.

That said, I agree that my question is more whether it's an example versus whether it's a ROCEJ violation.

To be 100% accurate, Trump was intentionally trying to spread COVID. The official White House policy was to try and facilitate a "Herd Immunity" by getting as many people infected as possible as fast as possible.

I still think the entry violates ROCEJ, but this is a case of being Right for the Wrong Reasons.

^ The entry isn't about Trump spreading COVID, but about the visual similarity to the Capitol riots.
