Do they? It didn’t really seem like a value judgment to me.
But you can also be right and go to far. I don’t know if these groups do go to far, but nuclear annihilation for example would definitely be too far.

Yes, they do.

…except when it comes to the violent extremism of the FBI and other alphabet agencies, of course.

I think we’ll have to agree to disagree as to what constitutes an obvious value judgement.

In that case they’d be right about just the problem, but not right in their entire position which includes a solution. Nobody who thinks we should nuke the world for anything is right.
