You cannot play like honourable and righteous person in a world ruled by lies and corruption.
I honestly think this is one of the great fallacies right now... when people say rightwingers aren't acting "honorably," what does that even mean? Should you embrace their judgment, are they actually correct?
More than likely the charge is coming from someone like Ben Shapiro and it means "this guy was mean to someone I like." This is why he and many others don't like Trump. But has Trump acted honorably and righteously? I would say in many cases, yes, even when he was taking Jeb to the cleaners in 2015. He's overstepped a few times, but nobody's perfect. Nobody's asking for perfect.
"Don't cancel your enemies, that's what the left does"? I am totally morally fine with cancelling pedophiles and black supremacists.
In some ways this seems to parallel the discussion about "honorable fighting." Using GPS-guided JDAMs doesn't accrue dishonor. It just means you're not dumb.
It's interesting you point this out. The whole 'you cannot act just as bad as them' schtick is why gamergate lost and the whole world went like how it did because of the fencesitters and centrists always there to control the tones. Now things are so goddamn bad for all of us, I bet some of them wished they could have done something differently. A lot of people may laugh about it, but I think gamergate really veered a lot of people to hold more "extreme" political leaning.
