Sedition: An American Virtue

In today's episode of Categorical Imperatives I attempt to rehabilitate the term "Sedition". We have heard it used a great deal lately and always as a negative. I wish to suggest and show that Sedition is a distinctly American virtue that should be treasured instead of shunned. I will discuss the deplorable truth of our past Sedition laws, namely those of 1798 and 1918 and use them to show you why people, largely on the left, calling for new Sedition laws following the January 6th storming of the Capital should really rethink their position.
As I will demonstrate in this video, sedition laws are always used first and foremost to prosecute the very people who demanded their passage.
