There can be no forgiveness without repentance and restitution.
Repentance requires acknowledging what they did (coerced billions into undergoing hazardous medical treatment, stole property, kidnapped people, censored the truth, etc) and why. In any moral culture, those would be enough felonies that no Branch Covidian would ever have voting rights again.
Restitution involves compensation for the damage caused. For the dead, actuaries can readily value that at a couple million dollars each. For those of us who told the jabbers to shove their poison up their ass, I figure we're owed a couple years of our lives back.
If the Atlantic wants amnesty, I want two years of my salary in cash, their staff to be banned from voting for life, and an apology. Otherwise no deal, they can go straight to hell.
