I don’t disagree with that, but I also do not feel it is antithetical to also believing that people are entitled to forgiveness by everyone.
People should be able to move past their mistakes and able to grow, but that doesnt mean everyone needs to forgive them. The families whose loved ones were killed by Platner do not need to forgive him, and neither do people who wish to stand in solidarity with those families. But that also doesnt mean we have to hold Platner’s past over his head while ignoring what he has done to grow into a different person.
I didnt mean to imply one is entitled to forgiveness, though I doubt many of the people pearl clutching were actually impacted by his actions, particularly when it’s a bunch of hawkish Democrats who would gladly send the military to kill more innocents without a second thought but love trying to find ways to have moral outrage over Platner’s past.
There is some real problematic shit, but he’s saying the right progressive things, which is why the establishment is trying to fling as much shit at him as possible.
Because unless proven otherwise giving people the ability to grow and change is a good moral thing to do.
