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.

  The site doesn’t refute violent extremist beliefs point by point or discuss matters of faith or politics. Instead, it makes teens aware of the destructive reality of various forms of violent extremism, including hateful attacks based on race, religion, or other factors. Through its Don’t Be a Puppet theme, the program encourages teens to think for themselves and display a healthy skepticism if they come across anyone who appears to be advocating extremist violence.

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

    They don’t recognize it as extremism, and might even have the gall to deny that it’s violence.

    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.
