Again, I found this article interesting, as it parallels something similar I've been saying lately. The admonition "Don't judge" or "Dont' be judgmental" is similar to labeling someone as intollerant as a dispersion on their character. But in the sayme way you point out the virtue of intollerance when applied to principles, I think of judgment that way. We judge everything and all the time. Judgment is a key component of funcitoning in the world. We judge others and we should. We judge them on the basis of whether their conduct reflects virtue, and thus trustworthiness. We judge criminals harshly, but dishonesty short of ciminality is still judged and still has social consequences. No one wants to associate with a cheater. So we should be judgmental, just as we should be intolerant of disrespect for important principles and virtue. We judge conduct of others with sophisticated human skills. Yet we are told to "suspend judgment', which impies that we should be more tolerant of improper or antisocial conduct. That is the opposite of what is good for society and for individuals. As Jordan Peterson says,"Surround yourself with those who want the best for you." You cannot possibly make that distinction without the exercise of sound judgment. In this regard, we should be judgmental, for to be otherwise is to be tolerant of chaos.
Yes, I agree. Along with MK Ultra, we've lost our ability to use the proper words effectively. Sometimes English is stunted with the meanings for words. Like ArnGrimR's word equality in Flemish.
Our side needs a counter attack for using the CORRECT words somehow. Maybe when Truth Social is further along. Or Musk gets more shares on Twitter. I can't help but laugh because they have to work at it so hard. It'll be so fun to poke the bear 🐻... 😉
