I love the openheartedness and tolerance implicit in the “stop judging” vibe, but what if we apply Kant’s Categorical Imperative to it. How does it hold up?
Are you saying we should be tolerant of judgements placed upon large groups of people divided along arbitrary lines? Does the accuracy and universality of those judgements about each group hold up to the test of scrutiny and are they even based upon concrete evidence? If those judgements are accurate and universally true across those groups, should we be passing judgement upon each group for their differences? Is this a universal application of empathy?
Should we be tolerant of intolerance? I think not.
