The Frustration of Double Standards: A Call for Fairness and Consistency
Introduction
Those who know me off these forums know that there is nothing I hate more than double standards. It all goes back to the very basics of life, the core principle we learned in kindergarten: treat others as you would like to be treated. This simple cliche has stood the test of time, as no sane person would argue against it.
Yet, in the real world, we often see double standards, where individuals are held to different standards based on their social status, race, gender, or other affiliations. People who don't understand the logic behind treating others as they wish to be treated are perplexing to me. It often feels like pulling my hair out in frustration when I witness such inconsistencies.
The Logic Behind Treating Others as You Would Like to Be Treated
The concept of treating others as you wish to be treated is a fundamental principle of healthy relationships. When someone doesn't understand this logic, it's hard to comprehend. Parents teach this very concept to their children every day, yet some individuals choose not to follow it.
The conclusion is that those who engage in double standards do so because it benefits them. They punish others for their actions to gain advantage and maintain toxic, selfish behavior.
In everyday life, when good people make mistakes, they seek to rectify them and rebuild trust. If someone cannot do this and instead refuses to treat others the way they wish to be treated, they become toxic and toxic only remain toxic. When people like this continually disrupt your peace, it's essential to recognize their true nature and distance yourself from them.
The Reality of Double Standards
Double standards are unfair and bigoted. They can limit individuals' abilities to succeed and be accepted in society. People should strive to be fair and consistent in their treatment of others and work to eliminate double standards wherever they exist.
Examples of Double Standards
Democrats: A Case in Point
If one were to examine the actions of Democrats, it becomes evident that they suffer from double standards. During the pandemic, they flip-flopped on key issues. They previously advocated for staying home, but later urged people to go out and riot. Additionally, they changed from 'Saving Lives' to 'Let’s make war' within a week. These rapid shifts in policy have left many questioning the consistency and integrity of their principles.
Moreover, Democrats shifted from the stance of ‘My Body, My Choice’ to suddenly supporting suffocation and tyrannical mandates on personal freedom. The switch from calling every Trump supporter a Nazi to wholeheartedly supporting the Ukrainian NeoNazis further exemplifies the hypocrisy and lack of consistency in their stance.
Conclusion
Double standards are a form of unfairness and bigotry. They are harmful and can limit individuals' abilities to succeed in society. We must strive to treat others with fairness and consistency, and work towards eradicating these harmful practices.
It is important to recognize that treating others as you would like to be treated is not only a principle of kindness but also a mechanism for building healthy and enduring relationships. The clarity and consistency of this principle should be upheld, and when we see double standards in action, we must challenge them and demand fairness.
By standing firm in our principles and fighting against double standards, we can create a more just and equitable world for all.
