Oddbean new post about login | logout I’m thinking more of a “yes and.” Like, if you participate in an underage prostitution ring you should definitely go to jail. But if you trespass on government property making violent threats you should probably also go to jail (hopefully for less time). But I guess more importantly, fuck pedos?
The point is there wasn't 500+ people that were threatening violence. It was a small handful. The rest just followed everyone in after the police let them in. It's a giant scam.
I dunno if that was the main point tbh. More that a corrupt system has allowed literal pedophiles to go without facing justice. But regardless, by the letter of the law, yeah if you stepped foot inside the capital building during the riot then… right to jail inb4 “but remember BLM???” yep if you smash a window during a riot you should go to jail too.
So like lemmings?

Much less about whether anyone supports or thinks jan 6 protestors should be in jail or not, and more about which crimes they punish, the absurd imbalance of that punishment, and how horrible, disgusting people are being actively protected and are directly involved in the operation of our govt and "justice."
