The Seditionists

The Seditionists are individuals or groups who engage in actions or speech that incite rebellion against established authority, particularly governments. This term has been prominently applied in the context of extremist movements that oppose the political system, often using inflammatory rhetoric or unlawful acts. In modern history, it gained attention with events like the January 6 Capitol riots in the U.S., where participants sought to overturn the election results. Sedition laws exist to maintain public order and protect against destabilizing threats to governance, often raising debates about free speech and civil liberties.
