OK, none of us are "perfect", there is no man or woman on this earth that I know of who is "perfect".
Yet, every day I see people judging others merely because they as unique individuals do not necessarily agree upon something. Even if they don't disagree, it could be as simple as one person suggesting that a different point of view on the information available should be listened to and taken into consideration.
I mean, How else is anyone supposed to come to a rational conclusion if they are subjective and not objective?
What is it that drives people to judge others for the mere fact that they are trying to be objective?
People who are trying to be objective and open to all information available, and as such do not consider subjectivism as a foundation or "moral virtue" by which others can be judged are not "the enemy".
Let's remember that the cause of all the evil tyranny we have seen in the past (and present) was always fueled by those who chose subjectivism over objectivism.
We saw national socialism (NAZI) murder some 6 million people and its international version called "Socialism/Communism" murder well over 100 million people. These are probably the two most well known results of "subjectivism" that we as humans have through the course of our history endured.
We see it almost everywhere, including the democratic world.
How many times have "politicians" suggested that "their views are exclusively 100% correct" without giving any possibility of them being "wrong".
These thoughts are a lot deeper than what I have just expressed above and I am sure many who do read this will think that I am attacking them or their views, while in actual fact I am defending their rights to express those views, without being JUDGED for them. Because without the ability to freely express oneself as an individual, objectivity is not possible and we are doomed to a repeat of the murders that subjectivism brings about.
The above words are my words, yet here are the words of a thinker, a person who tried to think out of the box, no matter how popular or unpopular such thinking may be.
The Poison of Subjectivism
I leave it to you as a unique individual to THINK ABOUT IT.

I've never had much patience for those quick to judge and condemn just because of a difference in viewpoint. A closed mind is a sure path to stagnation.

add to that those who judge and condemn others for wanting to hear anything different or those who condemn letting others say their piece without being condemned for it!

Thanks for that. Great video. I wish I'd know about it a few days ago before I wasted hours debating people on Twitter (only to be blocked) on my assertion that morality is objective.

Morality is always a tough topic, yet if people can communicate with each other in an objective, open and tolerant manner, there should be no need for any disrespect or subjective exclusiveness.
Show me two people on this earth who are identical in every single way = IMPOSSIBLE.
So, as we are all so unique and different, it is easy to fall into the trap of subjectivism, especially if we are part of a "mob" who enforce that subjectivism.
History has shown that subjectivism only brings about evil and terror, which I sincerely believe was well explained in the video.
Hopefully, nobody finds themselves as being a target as far as this post goes, my only goal here is to get us all (me first) to reflect upon ourselves, our own faults and as such our inner being.
Doesn't hurt to be self critical about things that are by all means so important in making life among humans better for one and all.
Cheers.
