View on XOn camera, Zuckerberg and other senior executives admitted to the tech giant's wide-ranging powers—from censorship of political speech to the promotion of partisan objectives. The taped remarks uttered by Facebook's leadership further exposed the lack of diversity of thought within the company.
Zuckerberg insinuated that Antifa militants who torched multiple American cities last summer were "treated" harsher by authorities than the Capitol Hill rioters who breached federal property on the day Congress was set to certify the 2020 presidential election.
"I know this is just a very difficult moment for a lot of us here [at Facebook], and especially our black colleagues," Zuckerberg can be heard in the leaked video.
He told his employees that it was "troubling to see how people in this [Capitol] mob were treated compared to the stark contrast we saw during [Black Lives Matter] protests earlier this [past]year."
During the summer of rioting, anarchists and Black Lives Matter anarchists in Seattle declared ownership of the the infamous six-block neighborhood in the middle of the Pacific Northwest's largest city and established the cop-free Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ).
Unlike the day-long deployment of National Guardsmen sent to the District to support civil forces, law enforcement officials allowed the lawless CHAZ to exist for almost an entire month, allowing chaos to ensue.
Two young teenagers were victimized in the criminal brutality when CHAZ's homemade "security" fired shots into their passing car.
When the "street medics" attempted to transport the children they shot to the Harborview Medical Center, the "anti-fascist protection barriers" blocked exit checkpoints and precious time was lost en route to the hospital. The 16-year-old boy died while the 14-year-old was left in critical condition.

View on XSince the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020 in Minneapolis, black-clad extremists terrorized law-abiding American citizens, confronting patrons in public restaurants and residents at their homes in suburban neighborhoods.
Even Portland's left-abiding Mayor Ted Wheeler denounced Antifa following the organization's explosive New Year's Eve clash with police when agitators launched commercial grade fireworks and Molotov cocktail-style firebombs.
"It's time to push back harder against those who are set on destroying our community," the Democratic leader declared the next day.

View on XZuckerberg's comments indicate that he believes that the pro-Trump mob on Jan. 6 faced minor punishment compared to the purported crackdown of widespread vandalism, arson, theft, and violence perpetrated by George Floyd rioters.
The Facebook founder's biased attitude may explain why the high-profile Rose City Antifa page with over 23,000 followers remains active on his site—despite the social media platform's alleged zero-tolerance policy for violent extremist groups.
