> I doubt these self-styled “retards” will ever end up as depraved and corrupt as the people they’re disrupting.

But they sure would like to be. I've seen WSB. The entire system is selecting for sociopoaths.

The section on multithreaded belts hits on my biggest complaint with this game: I don’t like that the belts are multi-lane, I wish they were smaller and single-lane.

I’ve tried to get into Factorio twice in the past but I always eventually run into some annoying issue where oops, I need resources to be on the other lane of a belt, or a grabber arm that should obviously be able to reach something isn’t, or something of that ilk, and I now need to scrap and rebuild my entire design.

At that point, I feel less like I’m building a factory and more like I’m working around the game engine, and it just immediately kills my interest in going further.

Also the video wasn't the only thing removed either; the other was this tweet:

> These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!

The insurrectionists were there because they falsely believe the election was stolen, and half of that video was him saying "yep, you guys are correct". He's done this shit before where he vigorously fans the flames but then gives a half-assed concessionary call for peace that his followers know to ignore.

They were there in the first place because of his message
