Apologies—my previous post invoking the Nuremberg trials caused some understandable consternation. My bad! The Nuremberg trials represent MILITARY LAW, and should not be construed as a call for violence or death against someone (many received prison sentences or had sentences commuted). 🇺🇸

I don't doubt that/disagree with that for a second. (You carried the "knowingly" over to our crypto debate, which confused me there for a bit. 😀)
Yes, he know. They knew. That knew that they we're lying, and they knew that that was wrong.
But they sunk into lies gradually, which is how it happens. Likely he dug that hole over a lifetime. And to now shake them off, in this still-totalitarian-statist environment, publicly, is not. easy. at. all. "Stunning and brave", I might have been tempted to call it, if that phrase weren't so woke-broken.
That's not to say there weren't real, terrible results from those lies. That's not to say there shouldn't be consequences for what he has done. But, at the same time, practically and humanely, we want to make clear there are going to be rewards, there will be grace for those who can turn away from lies at the very time when doing so will be the most difficult.
Respectfully, however, I don't for one second call reversing their stance Brave or courageous when clearly, they are only doing it because the protesters are in the streets literally outside their headquarters. Six months ago? Maybe that would have been brave. But no, absolutely, not now.
