You've chosen to let them advocate for treason on your site. That's on you.
And no, I did not claim YOU said that. YOU are the one creating the strawman. Not me. I said THEY do not believe they should be held to account.
Again, I have yet to see anybody say that the folks that were arrested for actions on 1/6 not be prosecuted. That is your strawman. It will continue to be a strawman no matter how many times you repeat it because it is imaginary. Nobody has suggested that folks that broke the law that day should not be prosecuted other than people in your own imagination.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
