Here is my exact quote:
'Hey, let's go carry out a coup against the most powerful nation on earth and do it without any firearms, military backing or political means to form a government!'
— Said no actual insurrectionist, ever.
Now tell me how that is wrong. Name all the successful coups done without any firearms, military backing or political means to form a government. I will wait.

Here is the OP that I commented on:
Title: Seditious Conspiracy & Tourism
Apparently the Oath Keepers took a few kicks in the dick. Stewart Rhodes guilty of Seditious Conspiracy and the rest guilty of conspiracy to disrupt legal proceedings.
50 plus more Additional conspiracy charges still coming in.
Wow...who would have thought Ray Epps had so much sway on influencing a radical group of Trump supporters, err I mean tourists into trying to stop the process of peaceful transfer of power.
When a group of people plan to disrupt a transfer of power, they need to be held accountable and incarcerated. They are highly dangerous to society in whole.
Now, if you look at what was said above and what I said,coup d'état isn't mentioned. And it shouldn't be mentioned, Jan 6th wasn't a take over of the Government. Jan 6th was an attempt to halt a Government process, but have the current Government progress as normal.
The OP and myself commented
sedition. You're the one that went off topic with something no one claimed. It seems that you were doing some reverse engineering of some sort. Like: Since historically Coup d'état have included guns Jan 6th couldn't be one, or something like that.
So ...
Name all the successful coups done without any firearms, military backing or political means to form a government....
None that I know of.
When a did
seditious act happen (that people plead guilty to) without guns?

FYI, I always try to stick to the OP. I assume that when some posts without following up (old Usenet phrase) or quoting, then the comments contained there in aren't relative to any individual. Comments can pertain to concepts offered by other,s but the context can change. Which is what I did. I took the mention of guns, but only in relation to the OP's subject matter. That being insurrection.
