If a rapist serves his time in prison and is "rehabilitated", progressives argue that he must be given a second chance (because bruh, criminals deserve our progressive empathy). If an individual violates some progressive rule of virtuous conduct via an idiotic tweet, a poorly
worded statement, an obnoxious Halloween costume, etc. that brands him/her as a racist, there is no road to redemption, no forgiveness. No death penalty for repeat serial pedophiles but definitely death penalty for a "racist costume." It is extraordinary to see the extent to
which the axioms of progressive virtue are cognitively inconsistent. All of this is discussed in detail in my forthcoming book. This is a manifestation of what I long ago referred to as Ostrich Logic.
