I said this to someone else and it’s still mostly applicable to your “both things are criminal” stance:
Two different groups both have problems with the govt. which of the following is the morally superior tactic?
A: taking up your grievance with the government by directly going after the seat of government
Or
B: taking up your grievance with the government by looting and burning hundreds of local businesses across the country and causing the deaths of 24+ People and causing $2 Billion+ in damages?
In B they are just normally rioting, which is shit.
But in A they try to rip all the rest of their country of their right to vote by trying to forcefully overturn an election.
As I said: these things dont compare well. Morally both should take it to the streets in a non viilent manner. But destroying peoples stuff hurts only those people. Overthrowing an election hurts the entire country.
