Even on a super simplistic level, taking "never judge" as the lesson from "judge not, lest ye be judged" is a fucked up moral lesson. Rather than treating it as a reminder to strive to be good and noble enough that you don't fear judgement from others, and still retaining your own ability to discriminate between obvious patterns.

"Never judge" is accepting the premise that you are undeserving and irredeemable and the only way to avoid reproach is to stay unnoticed. It's the despicable wretch's option of doing nothing and going no-where. It's long past time someone told the tutting soccer moms parroting it to their kids that they are acting more like bacteria than humans.
