Selling-out principles, just because others have done-so, is properly called “race to the bottom”, but in the moral sense.

This is exactly why there is no point, whatsoever, in pretending that political motivation will ever be good-enough: integrity has to outrank political-motivation, XOR the result is fucked, guaranteed, even though it may take some time to get there.

Just downvote this bitter old one, since what I’m saying is unacceptable on all sides/variants of the political-motivation landscape.

You choose your Eternity, I’m deciding mine.

Counterpoint: Being against celebrating someones death if I think their existence was actively harmful to society was never a principle of mine in the first place.

I agree with the sentiment though. The concept of people being principled in general and trying to divorce those principles from their opinions of an individual seems very foreign to most people.
