Insurrectionists? You mean the people the police let in that walked around and stole a podium? That's worse then months long riots, fires, and shootouts?
I'm glad that you agree that the police voluntarily letting violent protesters, encouraged by the sitting US president and who were out to murder legislators into the fucking Capitol is a big deal that should be looked into. I believe if the people doing it are colored we call them 'terrorists'.
Calling the diet coup/insurrection "just some people walking around and stealing a podium" is like calling all the riots "people walking around, some of them maybe stole some stuff idk". Ignorant at best (especially considering that unlike the riots, this was premeditated and planned weeks in advance), maliciously dishonest at worst.
Anyway before anyone gets on my back about this, imo both are bad, I condemn both the riots and insurrection. That said, whataboutism doesn't really help the conversation move forward. The conversation was about one thing, saying "Yea? BUT what about this other thing!" doesn't really contribute anything of substance but tbh I don't even care, this is a comment section on a meme website, go off on whatever tangent you want.
