    Both sides are held to their own standards – but only one side actually has standards.

    If you have zero standards, as does the right, what is there to hold anyone to?

    Worse, when you’ve swaddled yourself in fanatic Christianity, where the only one who can judge you is a god, and he’ll forgive all your sins if you accept some guy into your heart, and the way to do that is to say you have, you can do literally anything and be accepted.

    The rest of us hold each other accountable. As we should.

    Don’t pine for the blind acceptance of sociopaths – it’s infernal for all of us.

        Depends on how you define cowardice, I guess. Care to enlighten me?

          A company not standing behind its commentators who didn’t even say anything false for fear of lawsuit from orange man or mob outrage.

            Companies aren’t actually people and therefore cannot experience cowardice.

            (e: nor the shame or stigma that accompanies it, thus their actions, and why actual cowards hide behind them.)

              No shit, they have boards of executives who are cowards & just looking to maximize stock returns. Editorial freedom? Stand up to right-wing pressure & tell them to go suck a dick? Nah, sacrifice integrity & cave like bitchasses.
